68-69' Skylark or 65' nice driver

looking for another Buick. Like to get a nice Stepchild car (haven't had one since college). I'm looking to have a nice car to drive back and forth to the coast on the weekends. So i would like an AC, PB PS car. prefer a BB but does not have to be. Looking for Nice paint interior, nothing rusted rotted out. Let me know what you got. I have $15,000-$16,000 to spend.

You see Mark's 49k mile Skylark for $10k? Turbov6 is his handle.

 

yes, that looks nice, prefer a BBB but want to see what else is potentially out there

I would also entertain an older Buick with a GN drive train swap. I remember seeing a couple for sale here before. I am also looking at GN's and T Type cars all in the above mentioned price range

 

86 WH1. 46,000 miles fresh paint, t-tops, 16x8 GNX wheels with new 245/60/16 Comp TAs
$14,800

 

Nice!
If was hardtop we'd be talking

 

I just got a lead on a 69 Skylark, southern car, 28,000 original miles, 2 dr ht. I think it's Cameo Cream (light pale yellow) with white interior. Any interest? Hopefully I'll get some pix soon. 1 owner too.

 

Turns out the car is a 1970, gold with a white vinyl top and white interior.

 

Thanks Todd for the follow up.

I know there are a couple on the board for sale, I'm in line on one its not up to me yet. So still want to see what else is out there. Let me know!

 

Glad to see your getting back into a Buick Mike. I dont know if you want a convert but this baby is beautiful. Maybe you can get it closer into your price range?

Thanks Louie. I got my boat sorted out so it's time for another Buick!
Thant one looks nice but its a bit far off my price point, I guess I could get Mr. Cook on here to negotiate:grin:

 

Bump

This one is close to me..... I can take a look at it if you are interested.

dude that is awesome. I actually talked to Joe about his last week. I am seriously considering a wagon for sure. Especially with 4 kids it would be a hoot!

 

I thought you might like that one ... you NEED a SportWagon for your troop trips to the summerhouse !

While I of course like the 70-72 Sporty's, to me it really isn't a Sporty without the roofglass and the more spacious extended wheelbase.

This one seems Cali-Fresh and from the firewall foward its a GS400 :Brow:

If you're really interested send me a PM with your digits and I'll tell you what to look for as far as problem areas

... I could prolly piece together a roof rack for that as well

 

A guy out here in WA has this 65 GS that he is thinking of selling, probably be right about where your price range is? I don't know much about it, but send me your email addy if interested and I will get it to him.

 

Yes the wagons would be great for the kids. Alan what are the lengths of the 68-72 wagons? No sure if these bad boys would fit in my extra a garage?

Thanks Chris, sent you a PM

 

I only have my '68 books here in the office .. I think the 70-72's were based on the 4-door sedan chasis like the 68/69 Special Deluxe wagons

So ... for 68

Special Deluxe Wagon - wheelbase=116", overall length= 209.1"

SportWagon - wheelbase=121", overall length=214.09"

... all additional 5" were made up in the rear pass doors
