Title: 65 Skylark/Special
Post by: Rollaround on October 31, 2015, 08:46:07 AM: Nice looking well done 65. Not for the purest but those clean four speed vert's garner attention.

It is nice looking, but it does seem like it was restored by someone not all that familiar with Buicks. I wonder where the reserve is set, but I wouldn't pay $24,000 for a restoration where the fellow couldn't take the time to at least get hold of a radio or put in a classic car stereo that fits.

Sweet looking ride. Seems like there might be a similar one in Ohio. :icon_biggrin: A radio would have been nice but like a used car sales buddy of mine used to say - ya gotta leave something for the next guy.

Post by: Rollaround on November 02, 2015, 06:23:02 AM: There is a similar one here in northwestern Ohio, in my garage in fact. I think this guy took some liberty's and may have gotten some chalk on the side of his shoe but the end result seem's to be a very nice driver. As GS66 said something to drive when the queen is off for the day.

Is this your NEW SHED you've been working on??????

Borrowed Space???????

Or Home away from home??????

I like the high lift garage door.

I have a high lift on a 8ft interior door with 12 ft walls to handle a lift but it blocks the ceiling lights when it is up.

Yours looks like a better plan if you have the height.

Post by: Rollaround on November 02, 2015, 07:20:14 PM: Thanks Milton. That's our new almost complete garage. I've been postponing work on the red GS until the work area and other things are complete. The door design really helps opens up the floor space.
