Decisions, decisions...
« on: March 12, 2017, 12:47:01 AM »
I was browsing Craigslist, looking for a seat, or whatever, and ran across an ad for a Buick Skylark body, no rust, hardtop, with a clean title. Just got me thinking, my convertible Special is rusted up pretty bad, just ordered the trunk pan from Tamraz yesterday. Geez. Kinda wondering if I should just scrap the Special body and go for building a 64 Skylark instead. He's asking $1000 for the body. What would you guys do?

I'd go check it out.  But what they say it is,  might not be what it is.

How far are these from you?
Modesto is about 370 miles, however, I cannot afford that car. Portland is 1000 miles, sure wish that car was closer,  I would buy it today.

Maybe someone closer could have a look? Anyone near there? I would buy this in a heartbeat, I just dont think I can take the time off.

I can see rusted out wheel opening on passenger rear in one of the pictures, i'm guessing this car is pretty bad from what I see already.
