Title: Does anyone know this car?
Post by: Lou Perfetto on March 20, 2021, 09:54:28 PM

Hello Everyone,
  I am new to this site. I have owned my 65 Riviera GS for 40 years and now I just bought this 65 Skylark GS from a estate. It got passed around a bit but it has stayed untouched from the original builder. The car is from the Bridgeport Conn area. It was built by someone who really knew Buick's. It would be nice to know some cam specs and what was done to the motor. I am not worried about it but it would be nice to know. The car is super clean. Cant wait for the weather to break so I can take it out. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Lou
