Buick Skylark project car GS 4 speed with freshly built 1970 Muncie M21 WITH Gear Vendors overdrive.
Lots of new parts including core support, window and door seals, original GS hood, GS grill and too many to list. Clean title, bucket seat car. Roller project. 455 engine, heads, aftermarket engine parts from TA Performance.

 

Right in your backyard. Interesting project.

 

Practically is, the shop I rent space in can be seen to the left of the car in the picture. Not mine, but I know the seller. If anyone is serious, I can certainly check it out and help.

 

Wow, I didn't mean literally in your backyard but... lol.

 

Yep. Although I guess technically not my yard and I don't rent the yard. The car is sitting on the part of an old tennis court that I rent though. :>)

 

Do you know what year the car is?

 

Seems like a good deal given the 4 speed and parts he has for it, will be an awesome car when finished!

 

GV is not cheap. Probably worth close to it in parts depending on the condition of everything.

 

70-72, lol!

 

As I recall the Trans is brand new, with top quality parts. Built by a guy out here by the name of "Muncie Bill", who is / was the go to guy for Muncie's in the Pacific NW.

 

The Muncie & GV are worth $3-4k by themselves I would think...

 

Gee, thx Chris, lol.

 

How much is just the uninstalled Gear Vendors OD unit if anyone knows?

 

On the TV shows they could have that thing assembled and laying rubber in like 48 minutes. Piece O cake! Even I could do that in 10 or 11 YEARS.... and that is a DEFINITE maybe!

 

I think somewhere between $2-3k, but we have guys on here that have them so someone should know for sure.

 

Thanks Mike : )

 

I paid $2600 for a new Gear Vendors for my 67 442 automatic, approximately 6 years ago. I think this looks like a hell of a deal.

I agree.
Careful. Don't say he77 or you will be reported to the mods. PG board here.

 

GVs are at about 2800 2900 $$$. thats not a bad car all the parts... I dont see the GV,,,, that dont mean anything.

 

What did the car start out life as? How solid is it and is it an AC or non-AC car?
Thats a Buick 350 4-speed z-bar.
