Found in local car-donation dealership

i found A clean original 1972 buick skylark 350 in one of those car donation places, i asked the guy to sell it, eventually paying $1750 for it. im in the process of restoring it, and i plan to document most of the things i doing.

 

more pics

 

sence these pictures were taken, i have wetsanded and buffed the car, (remarkable how much better the paint looks) installed new sterring wheel, minor rust removal, remove old carpet, geting new from year one, getting vinel top removed, due to rust issues with rear window.

Nice find . Thanx for the pictures and keep up the good work !! :Brow: :TU:

 

'72 Skylark

Nice car. Appears to be in very good condition. What is the paint code for that '72 "green"? Sure looks like a familiar green to me.........John

 

Wow, for that price you practically stole that car! :TU:

 

Man, that is an exact duplicate of my first Skylark. I would have bought it for sentimental reasons alone!

 

ya its preaty good and runs well,its seamist green i also have loads of the original paper work that was in the glove box, i can post them if anyone is interested

 

Nice find! Where does a person find the donated car places?

 

Code is 43 for 1972 Seamist Green. :TU:

 

Nice find- and at a good price to boot.
Personally I dont care for the granny green, but hey, these things are getting too rare to be picky about color... We take 'em when and where we can find 'em.
I pulled one out of a junkyard today, granny green also, paid $350 for it.
No engine or tranny, but otherwise complete and relatively rust free.
Good luck with it :TU:

 

Fantastic, You did get a great deal.

72 lark

A local "donation" place in my area wants $4500 for a nearly identical 72 triple green post car. Nice score! :TU:

 

Nice find. Same color as my '73 LeSabre. Looks really nice when it shines. Good luck with it.
