Skylark4367 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I'm looking to buy a 1961-62 or 1964-65 Buick Skylark or Special coupe. I'm looking for a V8 with automatic transmission and power steering. I'd like to find a running/driving car that needs little or no work. I don't have a color preference, but I'm not crazy about red cars. I'm not looking for a show car, but would like something that could be shown in DPC. I prefer original drive-train and interiors. I'm in Long Island, so I'd like something in the Northeast, but will be open to other areas for the right car. Please send a PM if you have one for sale. Thanks.

auburnseeker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Boy there was a super nice one at the show in Rhinebeck NY this spring that I don't think sold. I haven't seen it anywhere since advertised. It was a 2 door hardtop, It was all original including paint and in incredible condition. A couple of days of detailing and it would have been clsoe to a #2 car. It was a 2 door hardtop loaded with options in a Pinkinsh or almost lavenderish color. It actually looked good on the car with a matching interior that was equally as nice. I wish I had the extra money. I would have strongly thought of buying it and i don't really have any other interest in a 61 or 62 Buick skylark or specials. I think they were asking around 12G. and in my opinion worth it because of the condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You might try posting a wanted ad on Craigslist in the Southern NY area and see if you get any hits. It was late in the day and the car was still there. Pretty darn sure it didn't sell. I wish I had taken a photo of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalowed Bill Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 A guy just opened a thread for a 1965 Grand Sport convertible in the General discussion part of the forum. If I were you I would jump on this one fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
