All the nice Cali Skylarks are coming out of the woodwork - this is a really nice car!! It will be interesting to see how it does on this auction site. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1970-buick-skylark-2/
The window sticker shows the optional "High Performance" 350 4bbl .... at 285hp. I thought that was the regular 350 4bbl's rating? I know the 4bbl was optional, but it appears adding a 4bbl, I guess, made it "High Performance" in Buick's Marketing Dept.'s eyes. I thought the "High Performance" label would be reserved for the ('70) "Hi-compression" (10.25:1) 350 4bbl at 315hp? Huh.
That was the middle option of 350s. 260 hp for the 2 barrel carb, 285 hp for the4 barrel and 315 hp for the Hi Compression engine that was available for Skylarks and standard in GS350s.
Wasn't this car a board members? He was selling it a few years back. I remember the color and standard two tone interior.
There is another thread about this car .... check it out. Apparently not all information about the car was disclosed.
Going through the comments at B-A-T, the driver side quarter was replaced in 1973. Others also complained about the fit of the passenger side door.
I saw it in this sub-forum when I had posted from my phone ….. but couldn't find it when I went back. Not sure if it was deleted as a duplicate or not.
