    Hello,

    Just traded my '84 Corvette for a 1966 Buick Skylark. Been looking for an older car I could play around with. The car is in pretty good shape with 49,000 miles. According to the dealership the car sat for over 20 years. The Interior is close to mint, the exterior is sold, no major rust just a bunch of paint chips. The trunk had a few small holes I had to patch. The inner rear fenders will need to be replaced. The car runs great, 310 with a two barrel. No mods, still have the green paint on the oil pan and valve covers. I'm looking forward to adding some mods.

    Lol I've always wanted a 1960's Muscle type of car. Got a bit of a ways to go before she's got the muscle. Saying that she's a looker and has gotten a lot of attention.

    The difference is traffic. There are 40,000 members here. You get an answer fast. I have posted on BuickForums before and not gotten a response for weeks or even months. You looked back on you thread there promptly, and that led you here.
