1963 BUICK SKYLARK RARE 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION !!! MATCHING #s 215 V8!!!

1963 Buick Skylark coupe

Up for sale is this 1963 Buick skylark It’s a numbers matching 215 aluminum block v8 4 barrel with a RARE 4 speed on the floor. Overall the care is in good condition and I will try and describe each area. If I forgot something please email with questions. Please keep in mind that the car is 1963 not 2013 and will require some work to get it perfect

Paint:

Overall the paints shines nice. It however is not perfect and not in show condition. There is a few spots on the car that will need some attention or drive as is. I took pictures of the bad spots so you can see the bubbles in the paint. The spots are on the back quarters, fender wheels and one on the roof. It has a small ding in the driver side fender which you can see from the pictures. It will need a new front bumper as you can see from the pictures. As far as the trunk and floor boards, as you can see from the pictures they are in great shape. This car spent its days in North Carolina and the under carriage shows it. I would recommend buying new window rubber seals for car as they are showing their age. It will also need a new trunk lock which are roughly $15.

Mechanical:

The car runs, drives shifts through all gears and clutch is strong. I believe the borg warner 4 speed trans has been rebuilt as well as all new shift linkage. The engine is a 215 V8 that produces 200HP and weighs approximately 300 pounds which makes manual steering effortless. It holds about 30-32lbs oil pressure once warmed up which is good for this engine at idle. A kill switch with electric fuel pump was added to delete the mechanical pump. All lights work except for the turn signals. I think the switch is bad have not investigated any further. It will need a few small things fixed. Needs wiper switch or wiper motor, new gas tank float as gauge doesn't work right, and turn signal switch. Has manual drum brakes and manual steering. New plug wires were just installed. Has dual exhaust with glass pack mufflers that are not too loud but give it a muscle car feel.

Suspension:

New front and rear springs, sway bar bushings, ball joints. The front steering is tight and works as it should for a car of this year. The car however does have bias ply tires which is a different handling and feel vs a radial tire.

Interior:

Overall the interior is fair shape. I say this due to the front seat and back seat not matching in color as the front was reupholstered but the back is black which needs re-stiched at the top (5-6” at the seam). Door panels are in fair conditions and carpet is new. The front seat is adjustable. All windows glass is good and all windows wind up and down. The head liner is nice but it sags little.
Hopefully I covered everything. Would make a great car for cruising but needs some minor attention. I am only listing the car due to garage space and don’t want to store it outside. North Carolina title in hand
