Thanks Jim, as long as you enjoy the Skylark and don't mind working on it that's the fun of it all. These Buicks are over 50 years old and most of them saw hard daily use before some quirk in its life kept it out of the scrapyard, every Skylark/Special has its story.
For instance my Red GS sat in a PA scrapyard with a dead motor for many years until Steve Shuman rescued it had a 401 from a junked 66 wildcat installed, repaired the brakes, then put it in his garage and that's where it sat for many years until I purchased it. I can honestly say that the only thing on the GS that worked was the engine & tranny and nothing else, the body was full of rot and there were mice nests every place. Now 14 years later the issues are resolved and its coming together nicely almost ready for paint.
it all depends on how much time/money you are willing to spend on the Buick.... Tony
