    Up for sale is my 71 Skylark. It's time to upgrade my daily driver, so something has to go. Has 455 big block. Edelbrock performer intake, hei, poston longtubes, brand new 850 proform carb, flex a lite electric fan, new champion aluminum radiator. Has all new front suspension including CPP tubular control arms, disc brakes with slotted rotors, fresh alignment, umi rear lower arms, brand new wheels and tires. 8.5 10 bolt posi. I'm unsure of gear ratio, but I may pull the cover and check soon. Interior could use some love. Carpet and headliner mainly. Has bucket seats, they look like Camaro seats to me. Body is decent, some bubbles here and there. The left rear wheel well is the worst. Floors and trunk all seem good. Has vfn glass GS hood, chin spoiler and gsx spoiler. Frame is nice. Currently on the road and driven occasionally. This is one you can drive, and finish your way. I'm asking $10,500.00 obo. I am open to trades of a decent 4x4 truck. I may consider trading up, or down. Located in Johnson City NY.

    Im a bit surprised this hasn't gotten any traction. I thought I was pricing it fair?

    I had trouble selling my 70 Skylark 455 last year for $12.5k. No interest at all at that price. I gave up and about a month later a guy contacted me out of the blue and offered me a price I agreed on. That car was pretty clean and only needed some corrections for authenticity. Paint was nearly new and in nice shape.

    If I were you, I would toss it on ebay to see what kind of interest it generates. That is usually a really good barometer for market value on a particular car. I can be disappointing, but that's what it will bear.
