Looks killer. Needs the correct doggies, and done!!

 

1 of 1 Sweet.

 

Low milage low option survivor! Does the upgraded tire and wheel size and Disc Brake upgrade help or hurt the value?

 

Look at it a couple of ways.

Certainly it makes driving safer.

If the original parts are available/included, then it's a non-issue, just work to "put it back" of one wanted to present it in shows as "original".

But, "purists" might say it is ruined forever and shoult be crushed... (just breakin' balls, not really serious. Purist and Purism, have a place ) I am just too old and so few people coming along to care about old cars and the scene to be of the "I am just a curator of the car" mindset.

Get one, own one, make it yours have a blast, cuz when yer in the grave very few are going to stand at your headstone and thank you for not peeling a sticker off, or swapping an intake....

If I had the disposable income, I would buy it. I like stepchillins. I like survivors, and I kinda like that color on a stepchild. It hits some boxes.

And less money than me finding a 2 door anything 1959 Angry car, or a 1967, red Wildkitty Coopay.

(Now y'all know the different flavors of Kryptonite, don't use it against me...)

 

Really nice Skylark. Shocking to see such low miles. I would put some old ralley wheels and white letters tires on that thing and just drive & enjoy it.

 

Someone please post a photo of this car for those of us who don’t have Facebook access.

 

Yup- I saw it last night and went "hmmmm"... LOL

What's with all the leaves on the cowl? Stored outside?

Did they use powerglide trannys in 68?

 

yes

 

looks like non-stock dogdishes

 

correct- rims and dog dishes

 

No. ST300 (without variable-pitch converter)
The ST300 is a two speed, similar but it is not a powerglide.
