1972 BUICK SKYLARK CONVERTIBLE GSX CLONE FACTORY A/C CAR, N25 BUMPER GS

1972 Buick Skylark CUSTOM

This is one of the coolest cars in the Northern Virgina area. It is a local Legend!!! The hood is a steel factory GS hood with hood tach. Ram Air air cleaner and water neck mounting bracket. I do not have the plates that mount underneath the hood that the foam seals mate up to. The rear wing is from a GSX. The very rare N-25 rear bumper and tips installed and I have the original tip mounting brackets ....best GM bumper ever made.Rare GS front grille. 5 Buick 15x7 Magnum 500 wheels. Factory buckets and console and bucket steering column were added. Sport steering wheel. Map light rear view mirror cool option. This car was originally light poly blue with white interior white top. It started its life as a Skylark Custom. I have a portion of the build sheet found ontop of the fuel tank. The car is going to need full cosmetics. I know the full history of this car. It was built around 1995 by a friend of mine who purchased it from the original owner. I saw the car in stock form poly blue right before he started the transformation. The guy who built this is a great mechanic and his best friend who painted the car is one of the best custom painters ever!! In a matter of a few months it was beautiful new engine trans flow master exhaust full new interior, n25, GS hoo, buckets console, wheels tires. He worked at a radiator shop so a/c fully functioning. Rechromed bumpers etc. The paint job was unreal. new top, suspension I mean it looked brand new. He drove it for a short time then sold it to another one of our friends for 4500.00..... a fully redone car 4500.00 man those were the days!!!!! My friend drove it for 5 years not in the winters though we all had beaters for winter driving. Then the trans went out on him in 1999 when he was in North Carolina visiting. He towed it home to Va. and parked it at his girlfriends house under a carport. He got down on his luck and sold it to the girlfriend 10/21/ 2000. She had the trans rebuilt and drove it a some but she really could not keep it tuned or running properly.She did not understand about winter storage or the loose unfused wire connected directly to the battery in the trunk hidden behind the spare tire from a previous stereo amplifier that was shorting out the alternator all the time. She would have the alternator replaced then it would short out. Lucky the car did not burn to the ground. Three or four alternators later the car just sat. She moved got a two car garage house put the car in there and it sat. I saw the car on craigslist in 2010 recognized it and Purchased it not running. I had it running a few days later after fresh fluids, battery new alternator and amp wire removed!!I I have put a lot of time and hard work and 8000.00 in parts with receipts into this Badazz Buick. I have all the receipts. The list is very long.

ENGINE 1970 BUICK 350 SOURCED FROM FRIEND OF BUILDER RUMPITY CAM 12 INCHES OF VACUUM AT IDLE. THE ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS NOT USED BECAUSE THE 1970 HAD BETTER HEADS.

GREAT COMPRESSION. 25PSI OIL PRESSURE AT IDLE.
I WAS GOING THRU MY PAPERS AND THE TITLE. MY TITLE SAYS MILEAGE 185K I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED THERE BUT THIS CAR HAS 140K ON IT I AM SURE OF THAT. I CHECKED THE SPEEDO LAST NIGHT AND IT SAYS 40K AND I KNOW ITS THE ORIGINAL SPEEDO. I SPENT ALOT OF TIME IN THIS CAR BACK IN THE DAY. NO WAY THIS CAR HAS 240K. I KNOW WHEN THE BUILDER BOUGHT IT MILEAGE WAS HIGH 90K. WHEN SOLD MY OTHER FRIEND DROVE IT FOR 5 YEARS GOOD WEATHER. WHEN SOLD TO GIRLFRIEND SHE COULD NOT KEEP IT RUNNING SO HER MILEAGE WAS VERY LOW. I THINK WHEN I WAS TITLING IT THERE WAS NO MILEAGE FILLED OUT AND I JUST GUESED. DMV IS NOT FUN JUST WANTED TO GET OUT OF THERE LOL. NOT REALLY SURE IF IT WAS ME OR PREVIOUS OWNER WHO MESSED UP THE MILEAGE ON THE TITLE.
