1969 Buick Skylark 2dr Ht A/c Auto Very Nice Car on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a very nice 1969 Buick Skylark 2 door hard top. What I have for sale is a very nice car that turns heads and runs and drives GREAT. What I DON’T have for sale is a $40-$80K fire breathing dragon, beast of a hot rod. This is a car that you can get in, turn the key and drive to anywhere and enjoy it. The best part is that the pricing won’t BREAK THE BANK. WAAAAAAY less than $20K will buy this car and your money will be well spent.

 These cars are not readily available and continue to rise in price about 8% - 12% per year. With normal, routine maintenance I believe that this car will last for decades.

 In the late 60’s and early 70’s Buick was well known for its MONSTER HIGH TORQUE engines and its high line cars. The Buick name meant luxury and that did not always set well with the high performance guys of the day. If you wanted a “hot rod car” then you had to give up all of the FRILLS that went with the luxury cars….RIGHT?  Well as we have seen in recent years you can own a 12 second car or 180+ top speed car , from the factory ( ZL1 Camaro, Shelby, Corvette etc) and drive it around with the windows rolled up and the A/C  on, cruise set at 80 and get 20+ MPG.  

Some people want to look at, drive, or own the screamers of that era which in this case would be the big block version of the GS or GSX. This car is NOT that. This is the Skylark Custom. It still carries a 350 V-8 with 280 factory rated H.P. and 275 Ft.lbs torque and a 10.25:1 compression STOCK!!!!

 This car comes with its ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS, high compression Buick 350, that will still bark the tires, shifting, when you push it. The automatic 3 speed transmission shifts nice and smooth when you’re just “DRIVING” around. This car is at home in the neighborhood at 30 m.p.h. or on the highway. It loves 75 m.p.h. It seems to just “float” down the road. Both the engine and transmission have about 13K miles on them and BOTH perform well. The dual flow master type exhaust gives this car a GREAT exhaust note and still is quiet enough at highway speeds to enjoy the aftermarket stereo. Power steering and ICE COLD FACTORY air conditioning finish up just what you would expect to find in a nice car that you may choose to drive every day. This car is that nice and that dependable.

This car was refinished several years ago but still looks GREAT today. It is finished in its factory colors and shows no sign of any previous body damage. The windshield has a light scratch and a single “star” in it. The rest of the glass is in near perfect shape, as is the chrome and bright metal on this car. The front and rear suspension is in GREAT shape and it drives VERY WELL.

The interior is in excellent condition with the exception of the headliner that I will replace before it leaves here. Just to be clear. It will have a PERFECT headliner the correct color when it sells. The body on this car is very straight and only shows a couple of “chips” or dings’. I don’t go on and on with a 10 page list of what all has been done and when. How about the fact that this car just does everything that it’s supposed to do and more. Add to that the fact that it has a near new appearance. I don’t need to tell you that I put new locking lug nuts on it and blah, blah, blah. It’s just right. Under the hood and under the car is nice and rust free.

This is a nice car that has been very well maintained and can be driven home from Corpus Christi, Texas with confidence!!

You may have questions, please feel free to call. Scott 361-331-3322. I can and will assist with shipping WORLD WIDE.I have been in the restoration business for more than 2 decades and yes, my opinions are mine. My opinion is that this is a very well done car that is used to being driven and performs as it did the day it was purchased new……45 years ago. Hard to find these days.

As this car is for sale locally, I reserve the right to stop this ad at any time for any reason.
