PLEASE Read thoroughly before asking questions. A one year frame on restoration last year. This started as a 1968 Buick Skylark Custom Convertible only 8500 made Rare. I am the 3rd owner, the previous 2nd owner said it was purchased locally by a couple in 1968, always garaged. It has a 350 cubic inch 280 hp original engine with a factory Rochester 4 barrel carburetor. Automatic transmission. No oil burning or blue smoke. Runs on all grades of fuel just fine. No air conditioning.. that\'s what the convertible top is for,,,,along with the two wing windows on a warm summer night\'s drive. To enhance the feel of the memories of youth, the visual stance, a very rare 1969 Buick GS 400 functional ram air hood was the final \"Cool Factor\"! Just finding the functional ram air hood was luck.
*I will summarize best I can, please ask any questions*
No sags on the doors, excellent alignment of the trunk and hood, etc. Restored professionally by West Coast Collision, in Mountlake Terrace. Their custom \"old school\" hot rod expert spent hours and hours block sanding, all panels, fenders, hoods, all was taken off and painted separately and then painstakingly put back on with proper alignment. The car is solid, the trunk was painted inside as well as the inside of the hood, this looks better than factory. All the door jabs were painted also in a factory OEM look. New Bolts fasteners were used for fenders and doors. No sagging doors proper aligned.
The deeper majestic Blue Paint with it\'s brilliant sheen in the sun is stunning. The classic lines of the car flow and rumbles along with Muscle Car elegance. To reproduce this I don\'t want to even add up the cost. And the nice part is everyone thinks you have a $50,000 car! Feels that way too. Nice to have daily driver that has this wow factor but not to have the price tag as you saved a bunch of money with no worries.
I have been to a few meets and heard nothing but compliments of the right color for the interior, convertible top with originality in the day of the true muscle machines.
The dash is original and looks presentable and good.
Professionally rebuilt transmission with a shift kit installed by Village Transmission, and old school transmission shop. Refurbished wheel well trim, New drum brakes all around done by Shoreline Family Auto, another \"Old School\" auto shop here in Seattle.
New radiator and heater core, new factory Rochester 4 barrel, New distributor and wires, New Dual exhaust and mufflers, New Bilstein shocks with 2\" Eibach lowering springs bringing the stance to the wow factor,
New Radio with AM/FM MP3 player, New Antennae, New stainless steel window trim, New hood springs, B.F Goodrich Radial T/A\'s on Original Buick Rally wheels including a full size Buick Rally wheel spare with a new GF Goodrich Tire.
New Carpet with insulated sound deadening, New door locks and handles, New Convertible top with brand New Top Frame assembly, tight no sag.
New weather stripping all around, the rubber trim was replaced. New windshield, New Grill, New front fender wells, Front bumper re-chromed, New GS console for drinks, Comfortable electric adjust Bench seat restored, the arm rest folds down as you can see.
Period Sun Tachometer and Moon Gauges, the list goes on and on. This is a very nice driving car, smooth fast and comfortable, a muscle car that isn\'t a harsh ride. It has the same A body as most of the other GM cars of the era, GTO, Lemans, Chevelle, Cutlass, etc.
I put as many pics as eBay would allow. I will assist the shipper as I can but it is up to the new owner to figure the shipping costs and pick up.
Please keep in mind as with all cars of this era it is being sold in an \"as is\" condition. It has never let me down when I start the Buick up with it\'s mellow low tone exhaust note, like music to the ears as it rumbles down the road and resonates with the soul.
It would be hard to find a better deal on a car that has gone through this amount of restoration for this price. You may get lucky and get a great bargain for this wonderful Muscle Car!
I will not answer questions like \"what will you take for it\"? The price you see here is what I will take for it.
Ask yourself,,,,How many summers do you have left! Buy it Now!
