If this is in the wrong place can a mod please move.
I have bought what I believe is a diamond in the rough. I just bought a '72 Skylark 2-door hard-top with "believed" to be 27,xxx original miles. I have some documentation back to '74. I believe the car had 4,xxx miles on it in '74 and from '78-'79 the woman had only put 800 miles on it as documented from license paperwork. Car has not been licensed since '92, and not been driven in 8-9 years. I bought from a 94 year old woman going into a nursing home. It is a 350 2 barrel, auto., bench seat front and rear seat has been covered since new. I have put on new rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cyl., rebuilt carb. and back flushed fuel lines and tank. Really what I'm trying to figure out is what direction to go with this car. I'm new to Buicks and this car was kind of a deal that I couldn't refuse. What would this car be worth now if I were to just sell it? Car has been repainted by a "shade-tree" body man. Int. is mint besides for drivers side stitching coming apart, dash is perfect. Any info. I can get on this car would be great as I know there are several people on here that are walking dictionaries on these cars. I can get the no's. off of the firewall if need be but I have the vin 4H37H2H140705. I can send pics if needed. Thanks in advance people.
