I don't think 'unique' is descriptive enough...

Very nicely done, but not for me.

Dear Loren, Chuck, and mid-60s Buick caregivers,

Certainly a creation produced with great attention to detail.  However, only at quite a cost.  Quoting from the description:

Quote
This is a 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport fully built from the ground up with less than 1000 miles since complete.

Quote
Over $150,000 in receipts are available for most of the build.

Price: $84,500.00

Why someone would spend over $150,000 on a custom car, drive it for less than 1000 miles, and then try to sell it for a little more than 1/2 of what was invested?

I guess I'll never understand . . . . .  :icon_scratch:

Like the no vent windows! And the custom interior with the skylark image on the doors and trunk panels!The hidden switches in the console with the custom dash looks good!

There is a lot of workmanship to admire here. To me though if you are going that far with a build you include an overdrive setup.

 Curiosity got me. Lucky I'm not a cat. lol
 I messaged the seller and their answer is that the last picture is of " donor car"

  Still, some really sweet mods.
