Description summary: ONE OWNER!!! 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible with original rebuilt 350 engine/ transmission runs and drives. Please see full description below.
Read a full description of the vehicle below
Engine and Transmission:
The engine is a 350 which was rebuilt not too long ago by the original owner along with the transmission. The engine runs strong no smoking or knocking and no oil leaks. Engine bay looks good as well as underneath vehicle. The alternator bracket is missing.
Body and Paint:
As you can see from the pics the car is a project car. Even though it runs and drives it does need some body work and paint. Front right fender and hood were replaced due to rust. Will need some adjustment to get the gaps just right. The doors close like refrigerators, excellent fit. The convertible top is in pretty good shape except for a few minor tears here and there as can be seen in the pics. There is some rust bubbles on trunk and some on quarter panels as can be seen in pics. The floors and trunk floor is solid no rust there or under the doors. The body was removed from the frame during the engine rebuild and all new rubber bushings, suspension bushings were replaced. The frame was also painted with antirust paint. Frame is solid. The rear bumper, front grill, left headlights, are missing. The center cap for the steering wheel is also missing but this does not affect the functionality of the steering wheel. The rest can be seen in the pics. Again it is a running and driving project but will need some body work and elbow grease but has a very good foundation.
Electrical:
All of the electrical works as it should.
Brakes and suspension:
Brakes good, steering wheel has very little play.All tires will need to be replaced. Very dry. They do hold air however.
Frame and under carriage:
All of the bolts, bushings, connections and ties were replaced during rebuild when frame was removed. The exhaust sounds good with the dual exhaust.
Glass:
All of the glass is present. The rubber seals are in very good shape. All windows go up and down as they should. The windshield is cracked.
Interior:
The interior is in very good shape. All of the knobs, handles, seatbelts, plastics are all present all of the seats are in great shape except for a small amount of stitching that come off from one of the threads in the rear seat, but beyond that it looks great. Carper is in good shape. The dashboard is excellent no cracks.
Driving and Handling:
The car runs and drives but does need some tlc to be road worthy.

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean. Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Buick may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of performance automobiles, but fans of the brand know what letters to look for. If you believe the reports, there's a new GNX and Grand National on the way, but in the meantime, Buick may offer more GS models to fill the void. Currently, the Regal is the only model available as a GS (pictured above), packing the same 259-horsepower turbo four as the Regal Turbo but enhanced with key suspension, brakes and rolling-stock upgrades. As Car and Driver notes, similar upgrades could easily be applied to the Verano and LaCrosse, although maybe not the Encore or Enclave crossovers. Of course, Buick would still have to steer clear of Cadillac's Vsport line, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a little room to play.
Looking to set itself apart in the mid-luxury segment, Buick is looking to introduce a diesel engine somewhere in its US lineup. And according to Edmunds, the two best chances of a diesel Buick rest with the Encore and Verano. In both our First Drive and Review of the 2013 Encore, our chief complaint about the compact crossover was the the lack of power from the 138-horsepower turbo engine. Edmunds says that the recently introduced 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine (with both gas and diesel variants) from the Encore's overseas cousin, the Opel Mokka, could make its way into the Encore delivering the much-needed boost in power. Then there's the Verano. As a close relative to the Chevy Cruze, which just added a diesel engine for 2014, the article speculates that a Verano Diesel might actually be the more "probably candidate" if and when Buick decides to add a diesel model to its portfolio. Either way, offering such an engine in one of its products could be a great way for Buick to differentiate itself from Cadillac and possibly even attract buyers from Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes-Benz looking for a luxurious, fuel-efficient vehicle.
