Up for auction is a great looking 1971 Buick Skylark GS-350 Clone. Yes it is not a real GS. But it has all the equipment a GS would have. The hood is a real steel Buick hood with hood scoops off a 70 model. It also has the air cleaner and housing from that same 70 GS. The best part may be that it was a hood from the factory with a tach that works. Yes it is a reproduction tach but the hood was built for one. The engine was totally rebuilt for more horsepower than she originally had in 1971. She has an aftermarket camshaft that has just a touch of lope in the idle and makes great power even from lower RPM's. There is a T/A Stage One intake on this car with a Holley carburetor. There is also a modern electronic distributor for reliability. There is also a new dual exhaust system and it has a great sound. I have the receipts for the rebuild on this engine. The transmission was rebuilt at the same time and has a shift kit installed. Everything was done with reliability in mind since this was always intended to be a nice driver. The body work was finished and this car has a recent coat of GM Victory Red applied. It is not the original color to the car but it is very striking. I think the car looks excellent as it is but if you wanted the slick show car look you could buff the car. Personally I would not since this is the perfect driver as-is. There are four brand new BF Goodrich 15" radial T/A's on factory GSX 15" wheels. Those alone are very rare. The rear spoiler is a Buick factory item and also very rare. I have all the side emblems new and will include them with the sale of the car. I kind of like the slick look and have not installed them yet. The interior has been restored to factory colors of black and white. The front seat was rebuilt and a new cover installed. There are also new door panels along with new door rubber. All of the rubber has been renewed on the car including on the convertible top. The top itself has a couple tears and should be replaced. They are not terrible and the top is usable as-is but I would replace in order to complete the restoration. In short this is a wonderful GM A body convertible that would make a great driver so you could save that expensive GS for the shows. Everybody knows that 68 to 72 GM A body convertibles in decent shape are getting both hard to find and expensive. Have you priced a Chevelle lately? This Skylark is priced for the everyday guy to be able to afford and you can immediately take her to the car show or cruise in. Now for the "other" stuff. If you have less than a +5 feedback rating please email me before you bid or I will delete your bid. I know we all started somewhere and I will work with you. Just please let me know. If you are local I encourage you to come look at the car or if not send an appraiser. It is one very nice car and the pictures do not do her justice. Next I will not reveal my reserve nor will I end the auction early. Neither are fair to the honest bidders out there. The reserve is reasonable for a car of this quality. Have you priced a paint job in Victory Red lately? Next the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. Finally I have tried to show and tell you as much as I can think of about this Skylark. I am sure you have more questions so please ask away. This car will not leave my property until paid in full and is being sold as-is. Once she leaves my property she is all yours. Thanks so much for viewing my auction!!
