I have always liked these Skylarks. This one is no exception! It has a console with a floor shifter and a decent engine it. I would chuck the offy valve covers and find either some originals or chrome ones. For the price he's asking it better be perfect because according to Hagerty for a pristine condition sport coupe it's a $22,000 car and Hagerty is usually high. I think it sells for 18 or 19 grand.

2 take aways: first this car is advertised for sale but in the pictures there's a sign on the dash that says "Not for sale". Second in the write up it says the car has been been sitting for 15 years, has a leak from the transmission and then it says it "needs some minor maintenance". Really? A car sitting for that long going to need a lot more than "minor maintenance"! But overall I do like it but the asking price is a bit high.

WOW that paint color goes very well with this car. I agree that $27,000 is lofty. However this car cool!

That's an awful lot of car for $9500. But on the flip side once bought the new owner is taking on a project. It could very well be a nice driver once the car mechanicals have inspected and the proper maintenance is done. I like the compound carburetion and the two tone paint. To quote EmTee it could be a Super Super!

Here are the engine numbers; can anyone shed some light on what they signify?

There's a sweet car there for the money! The plaid interior looks a bit busy for my tastes but overall I do like the car!

I did see the casting number and the intake manifold and on the block. I when bought my AFB carburetor I made sure I saw the correct model number stamped on it. Now I doubt the engine is a high compression from the factory because a high compression engine in a Chieftain is unlikely. I have seen the numbers on the right cylinder head facing the front of the car a while ago and that verified the heads are from 1957. So this is a correct drivetrain for this car. But what I cannot figure out the horsepower ratings. The low compression 347 with a 2bbl is in the low 200's like 225. A low compression motor with a 4 bbl is something like 245 hp there's a rating for the tri power motors and the fuelie motors as well. So in my case I bought the car that had the 347 automatic with a tri power setup from from the wrong year. I replaced the tri power with the AFB 4bbl does that mean I jumped the horsepower to 245? Or does the cam need to be replaced as well?

The force fit metal pins that hold the king pins in place finally came out with a fight. We ended that fight by using an air hammer. The actual king pins did not drop and I didn't expect they would. It took many pounds of force using press to get them out. No mallet/hammer would never have worked! Now with king pins out I await the replacement left lower control arm. I now believe these king pins were never replaced and are original from the factory in 1957. I will post pictures on Friday. I spent a good part of the day cleaning the mock off the suspension mounts on the car today. It should a nice riding Pontiac when finished! And to think that I actually thought of selling one of my two cars; no f#@king way!

I have been to the Nethercutt and I went to see the cars. But I was quite taken when I went on the guided tour of the organs/pianos; I would suggest you take the time and do both!

It's stunning and I love it. Ready to be in a car show! Not many restored Hudson trucks around.

Never been to the BCA nationals. It's on the bucket list and I am hoping this year will be my chance to go. I understand Doug Seybold is putting the event(s) together. I think this location would be great because it should pull cars from the eastern sea board. I am already talking myself into it. Forgive my innocence but do I have to register first in order to attend the show?

I wonder what they used for tire shine back then. Those tires sure look shinny to me...

Well it's down here in my neck of woods. I'm not a fan of convertibles but this 41 Caddy looks nice! I thought about it and for grins and giggles I might run out out there and have a look-see, It's about an hour from me....

Pretty neat Plymouth! I would go with one or the other: black wall tires and the cream/yellow wheels or wide whites with black painted wheels. As it is now looks okay but sooner or later I would make the change!

That's a nice and clean looking A at a good price! I agree, not for highway driving just country roads!

Nice Oldsmobile with an 8 in it; very cool

I have seen better for the money; in fact I almost bought one. The con both front and back bumpers chrome has lost it's luster. The paint looks questionable but that maybe due to bad picture quality. But I must say nave blue really looks good on this car. The engine compartment really needs to cleaned up. I suspect this is the kind of car that I usually run into. This owner probably bought this car when all the maintenance and repairs were up to date and the paint and chrome were bright lustrous. He owned it for a few years and did not hesitate to drive it. Did minimal maintenance over the years and on his last visit to the mechanic he was told of some expensive repairs and maybe maintenance recommendations. He passes on all the work and at that point decided to sell it. Thereby passing the buck to the next owner! My 47 Ford was like that it needed a lot of work, which I did. I have to say the new owner of that car got a gem! That's that car that got away. I should never have sold it!

I'm considering it. Can't make a firm commitment yet.

I like these Pontiac bubble-tops. But I don't like the wire wheels and I would sell the tri-power unit; too much of an headache. The caked on mud especially on the fan shroud is a red flag. I am surprised the seller did not clean some of dirt off the engine before taking these pictures. I think an thorough inspection is a must before buying!

WOW, maybe someone should take $8,000 and show the seller the cash and buy it. I don't think you'd be overpaying for it.

In my opinion he should have left that engine color black. Usually doing a project such as painting the motor on this car does more harm than good. In this case that is true! If you look at this picture you can see a lot of black showing through the red paint on the side cover and the valve cover. There's overspray on some of the wiring as well. A black engine wouldn't deter me from buying it if everything else checked out. But a quick and dirty paint job just means I have re-do all the the work the seller screwed up to get looking correct. I might even go back to black!

This appears to be a base model with the straight 8 and and automatic transmission. I had one, it was the same model and it was a blast to drive. If the interior was correct or close to correct and it ran good it's a 15,000 dollar car. Paint looks decent and the body looks straight. Buy the car as is and do the interior when you can. But this is a 74 year old car, a few pictures and a short description with a low asking price makes me a little hesitant. An inspection would need to be done!

I looks like a decent Buick for a decent price! Just have to make sure the rust is just on the surface!
