1969 Buick Skylark (Special Deluxe Model) Not Running Now
1969 Buick Skylark
Selling my 1969 Buick Skylark (Special Deluxe Model) Is is currently not a Running Car
Odometer shows 315629 miles, but I honestly don't know if those are the original miles and odometer. Title in hand and ready to transfer ownership.
I have owned the car for about 6 years, bought it from a guy in Vista CA. Car has been garaged the entire time I have owned it. I have not driven it far, only around the block. Which it is sad! I would like to do a resto mod, but no time and no money. When it ran a month ago, it was solid and Fast! But it doesn't crank now, I am assuming it is the Starter, Alternator, or Ignition switch, or all of the above.
That said, a month ago I started the car as I have been doing for the past 6 years, but the last time I ran it for 20 minutes, turned it off, then back on and it just did not want to crank, lights go on the dash, but no start, I turn the key and nothing happens, I want to say that it has to be that darn ignition switch, but I don't know for sure, I think it is ready for a new owner, the right owner is out there, I am just not the right owner at this time in my life. If this is your future project, then bid, and thank you.
Lastly, I have a couple of box with parts, and the original parts I removed with new ones, I also have a binder with a brief history from the previous owner which shows engine reconditioning done a year or two before I purchased it from him, and other work. I also have what appears to be the original build sheet. I also have the chrome trim that goes around the front and rear windshields.

Negatives
- To the best of my knowledge, the car needs light to medium bodywork and a paint job
- Trunk had rust so has huge opening that I created in an attempt to weld new trunk floor panel, but yes, I got too lazy and didn't complete the work, bought trunk floor Panel from Rock Auto. It is sitting in the trunk with other parts.

- And to the best of my knowledge, it has a few cosmetics issues here and there that need to be addressed.
- Leaks Transmission Fluid (I have the pan Gasket and filter new in the box) and yes you guessed it, too lazy to replace :)
