I have a complete 65 Skylark four door rear clip sitting on a trailer in northern California. I was going to replace the whole rear clip on a two door sedan, but I don't think it is worth the trouble. I also have the rear window channel from a two door hardtop. The quarters are rust free as is the trunk floor. minor dent in passenger very back part of the quarter panel. Any one in the area interested?
the price would be $900 for the rear clip and $100 for the window to trunk filler. That is what I have into it. No hurry to sell, as I will eventually wish I hadn't sold the rear clip.
New price, $600 for rear clip and still $100 for the window filler.

Wish I was closer Kurt.
I would definitely pick up on that clip.

That rear clip is still sitting on my trailer. Includes the deck lid, and a nice trunk floor. I'll take $800 to help pay for the increase in gas prices to come get it. If someone doesn't buy it soon, I may have to cut in up into pieces for easy storage and I hate to cut that trunk floor.

Loren, road trip? thanks Bill.
-
Loren, where are you located?
-
Do you have any pics of the rear clip? Wondering where the cut lines are?
We're getting a '65 GS 4speed car this week that we think will need a rear clip.
A little distance between us as we're in MN, but road trips can be fun!

Pictures coming as soon as I can grab my daughter's cell phone memory chip to move the files off my phone. The clip was cut 6-8 inches in front of the rear door opening. It was cut straight across the floor and through the rear roof pillars, more metal there than you will need. Still has the rear seat belts attached and the frame bolts came out clean, none broken off. If you are interested I will remove the trunk lid and get some photos of the floor. My memory is that it was very nice, but it has been a couple of years since I bought it so I would want to check. I believe the sheetmetal around the taillights is also in very good shape.

Kurt,
Thanks for the pics! If you could check the trunk floor that would be great. We haven't got the '65 yet, they're talking another snowstorm for us tomorrow afternoon into Wednesday. It's only three miles down the road, but it's had a shed built around it that needs to be taken apart before we can see the whole car!
Where in California are you located?

Ken,
If the trunk floor on Kurt's rear clip needs replacing, I have a new one, in-the-box that I would let go cheap. It's the American made type. I thought I would need it but I ended up getting an second one with a parts car I bought. I am in minnetonka.
I'd love to see some photos of your car "in the barn".

Ken, I live in Lakeport, CA 95453, 2.5 hours past Sacramento, assuming you would be coming via Interstate 80.

Kurt/Ken,
If the piece by rear seat kickup won't be used, I'd love to get the rear seat belts, hardware and plates
from the floorpan. Let me know. Thanks!

Hey, Mark,
The seatbelts are not OEM. Big washers on the underside of the car sealed with RTV. I can't image that they are original GM. Also have retractors whick I doubt Buick would have used on rear seats.

Kurt,
I'll take a pass - looking for a factory setup. Thanks for the heads up!

Ken,
I think I am going to use this clip to put my 65 two door sedan back on the road. Sorry it this offer caused you any trouble, but it just seems like the thing to do at this time. Thanks for the interest.
I am rethinking the driver idea, just did the math plus I still have a V-6 post sedan when I am finished. So, let me know if you are still interested. I also have a decent set of Skylark taillights with a very nice center piece. Minimum surface rust under the taillights, just treat and paint and the trunk floor looks good. Some minor pitting, but if you treat/blast and use original type paint I don't think it would show. If I were going to use it I would just blast and paint it. Remember we look at rust differently in California, no salt on the roads. If still interested I will get you some more pictures and a complete description, I wouldn't want any surprises if you are coming a great distance.

Kurt,
I posted some pics of the GS we picked up in the new members area, and I saw your reply there, yup 4spd car! This is the car we are needing the rear clip for as you can see by the open trunk picture!
The 2100 mile trip looks a little too daunting at this time, so we're going to pass on the clip you have. We're hoping to find one a little closer to MN.
I'm sure we'll be needing some smaller stuff as well once we dig through all the parts that came with it.
Thanks!
Ken

Ken,
Where are you in MN?

Ken, check Ebay, I saw one full quarter panel on there is the last week, probably closer to you than I am. If your tail light area is ok, and the supports under the trunk are ok, you should be able to get by with replacing part of the trunk floor. And if the front of your quarter panels are good, you should be able to get someone to ship you the part behind the wheelwell. I don't want to cut-up my complete rear clip at this time, but start checking Ebay and Craigslist and you should find what you need. Have fun with the restoration.
-
Price dropped to $750, any takers? I will be posting it on V8Buick shortly in an attempt to move it out of here. I need a new compressor and this rear clip can help pay for it.
-
Price dropped to $600 and also listed on V8Buick.com.
-
Somebody must want this rear clip. Doesn't anyone want to back-half a 65? I hate to cut it up, but I would really like to get it out of my shop area.
-
Hey there, you stil have the tail light assemblys with center piece?
Br Anton
-
I have a set from a different car, but I don't want to sell them at this time.
-
ok understand. was looking for a really good set for restoration (have 4 sets I accumulate over the years but just one set that I like).
Anyone looking for tail lights in the usual condition (some pitting and cracks and some ageing cracks for the lenses)? just let me know.

Rear clip is still sitting in my trailer, anyone interested?
-
Kurt,
If I was closer, I would surely help rid you of this problem.lol

Hi Loren,
I am surprised that someone with a pickup or a trailer hasn't been going east from here that would want if or who could haul if for a friend. Rear quarter rust is an issue here, but nothing like what I have seen in pictures from the rust-belt. I guess I should list it on Craigslist and see if I have any takers, but getting rid of it hasn't been a big issue for me. I know as soon as I sell it I am going to find a nice GS that needs it. For now it will sit in my trailer until I can figure out how to unload it and store it on the ground.
-
Kurt,
Good luck. I too am surprised that it has not found a new home.

The rear clip is still sitting in my trailer in sunny California. I am going to die of old age before that thing leaves my shop area.
