Up for auction is a 1971 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible project car. Just an FYI,this is a Connecticut vehicle and it comes with a transferable bill of sale/ official Connecticut registration.There is no title issued in the state of Connecticut for cars that are older than 1980.Check your own requirements for your state before you bid. Now,to describe the car to best of my ability. The floors and frame are in very good shape.There are no repairs to the frame that I can see.Assume the body has filler.It has a basecoat/clearcoat paint job that the last owner had done.It is driver quality at best and it has not been wet sanded.The jambs,trunk,etc. all match the exterior color.There is no visible rust on the body panels.The driver's door will need pins and bushings,as it does sag.Passenger door is fine.The back window is plastic and it is cracked/broken.What you see in the pictures is just some material used to cover it up and to keep out the elements.There is also a small split in the top on the passenger side.The convertible top motor works fine,but the cylinders are leaky and are disconnected.The top goes up and down manually just fine. It has a strong running Buick 350 2bbl (even the choke works) with a stock style dual exhaust.The motor appears to have been rebuilt as it very clean inside and outside as well.It also has an HEI distributor.Has power steering and power brakes.Trans is a TH350 that shifts just fine and the kickdown works as well. The interior is not too bad.Dashpad has no cracks and the seats,front/rear door panels and carpet are in good shape.I have the lower rear "door" panels for the backseat but they are not in the best of shape.They have been cut for speakers and the material is coming off. Gas gauge,horn and wipers do not work along with a few misc. bulbs.This is a project car that runs,drives and stops well.I would really like someone to see the car in person so there is no confusion.My reserve is reasonable.Hagerty values this car at $6100 for a #4 condition. (5 being the worst/parts car) I can assure that is not the reserve.you can reach me at 203-464-730 two if you have any questions.I do have some rocker moldings that will go with the car.I do not have any of the other trim. Car is sold as is,where is.No warranties impressed or implied.Not responsible for differences in opinion/description. $200 non refundable deposit due upon auctions end.Balance to be paid in cash or local bank check.Can store car for up to 10 days from auctions end unless previous arrangements are made.I have described the car to the best of my ability.Can be viewed at anytime via appointment.
