    Tilt, PW, speed alert, buckets, deluxe steering wheel, A/C, upper peak mldg, body side molding, gauges/clock, & looks like maybe even Cruise Control. Front bumper looks straight & grille is pretty good. I'd be surprised if it didn't have rear Def. Missing WW mldgs.

    Depending on the past/current rust it could be quite the diamond in the rough. If I was close by I'd go check it out just for fun.

    Depends on how long it's been near Denver. I lived in Colorado Springs for awhile and the climate is so dry and they don't use salt in the winter. Every old car I bought while I was there was extremely dry and rust free! I'd love to go look at this one too!!

    Amen. Colorado cars are generally very dry. I swear I remember this car around. Very loaded for a Skylark too.

    I hope she gets saved....she certainly seems worthy of it.

    Someone painted that A Pillar cover Red.

    Never seen lower rear quarter mouldings that continue the rocker mouldings (!?) Typical rust in the lower front fenders. Old Poston intake, Edelbrock Carb, HEI and Disc brakes. Notice how clean (not rusty or deteriorated) underhood components are.

    Those lower rear moldings I believe were standard on Skylark Custom (could have the model wrong or maybe were optional). They're not uncommon. He must've added pics. I don't recall any underhood pics initially. Apparently I hadn't blown up the one pic showing the lower fender but you're sure correct on that!

    Decent overall condition. The vinyl top looks a little bit bumpy on passenger side hopefully no rust. Seems like a good project with a lot of good desirable options. Looks good for the money on face value.

    1st impression is good. 2nd glance, not so much. Might be worth very careful look if you really want a 1970, but I think it has rust issues. That one picture of the vinyl top really scares me. It might just be the angle or lighting.

    Edelhoser with an aluminum intake and an HEI... the timing is off? Dig deeper. Bottom of DS front fender bottom looks to have a rust flag on it too. ws
