1970 Skylark Convertible GS clone project I bought this car 4 years ago from a fellow board member.It was a complete running 350/350 convertible clone car.I decided to do a 400/455 transplant.When I removed the front clip it was evident that this car had frame rust issues & I would have to do a restoration sooner than I had hoped.I started to collect parts for the restoration including a NOS core support & a completely redone Georgia convertible boxed frame.I have run out of gas on this project & it is time to move it to make room for other projects. The bad: Needs trunk & floor pans & also some rust @ the lower windshield /dash on the passenger side in about a six inch area.Also needs rear wheelhouse repair.The rear quarters were replaced at an earlier time & appear in good shape. The good: Nos core support New 400 trans cross member Refurbished Southern convertible boxed frame that is set up w/455 frame pads,front disc brakes(drums & rotors included) ,Freshened 3:08 posi,& all new brake /fuel lines,Frame has been outside for a year so the hardware will need to be freshened. New S/P 400 trans with a Transgo shiftkit & an aluminum pan(no convertor) New Pypes 2.5'' x-pipe exhaust system.(no mufflers). Interior: Buckets,rear seats & door panels are driver quality,dash pad has no cracks,& console & sport wheel are very nice.Instrument cluster is also nice with the exception of the radio bezel. Convertible top: The top has no rips/tears & the folding top is in working order. Exterior: Excellent GS grille,Front bumper is nice/chrome nice,straight bumper,no damage.Rear bumper chrome is peeling on the ends,otherwise ,nice straight damage free bumper.GS rocker mldgs are driver quality.Door handles are new.Windshield is new,all stainless is intact & nice.Headlight bezels are nice also. Body: The quarters were done by the previous owner are in nice shape.The GS hood is in very nice shape & complete.The trunk lid is in nice shape also,Both doors look to have had previous repair but are very nice overall.The driver fender is excellent & the passenger is nice with the exception of the lower panel has been previously repaired & the inner lower section needs repair.The passenger fender well has been repaired with a Mike Garrison kit.Both fender wells along with the NOS core support have been painted gloss black. Chrome plated hood hinges & radiator cover. Buick Rally wheels & center caps are nice. I do not have a motor for this car.This was an A/C car but no compressor, Car is located in Central New Jerse Price reduced $4,800.00 Thanks for looking.
