    Chris,

    I have a set of 68 Skylark bucket seats. Good shape. I am asking $200 plus shipping or you could pick them up. If you interested let me know. I can send pics.
    Thanks,

    Chris,

    I also have a bunch of parts off of my old 69 skylark that would work for you.

    seats

    I found a really nice set of 69 seats out of a Cutlass I think but in really good shape if anyone needs them or has a set of 68 seats that they would trade fo a set of 69's let me know.
    also looking for a console and auto floor shifter!

    I got a bumper that is good enough for right now but still looking for a fender and a grill I WOULD TAKE A REGULAR SKYLARK GRILL
    if it is nice or something I can use for parts to fix my GS grill!!!!!

    A '68 Skylark grill is the same as a '68 GS grill except for the color. A GS grill is painted black in the center and a Skylark grill is silver. If you find a good "Skylark" grill, just paint the center black.

    The '68 Sportwagon and Special used a different grill (it had more horizontal bars) so be carful when buying "parts" grills to fix yours.

    thats the plan, I was talking to Gary Paine yesterday and that was his suggestion as well. Mine is pretty bad and I would rather find oue I could paint than have to fix mine

    See if Frank McIntyre wants to sell the grille I sold him at Salem, as he found a better one. I have a couple of sets of '68 buckets, that need recovering, might be able to bring to Norwalk next week, they are white, and I don't remember the condition, so I can't give you a price at the moment! Email me on anything else you think you would need if you can come to Norwalk, cause I have half a basement full of '68 GS parts, well not quite half, but close!
