1953 Buick Skylark - $35,000 (Goodyear)
For sale is a very coveted and beautiful 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark. One of only 1,690 made and much less in existence today, especially in “survivor” mode. Most are restored to the point of being unaffordable, or are total basket cases. It is rare to see one like this - barely touched.1953 Buick Skylark
condition: good
cylinders: 8 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 45666
paint color: blue
size: full-size
title status: clean

type: convertible
This particular car was seen in the movie Forrest Gump. In the film, it was parked in a state of neglect at Bubba’s shack when Forrest went to deliver Bubba’s share of the Bubba Gump business profit to Bubba’s mom (touching scene)! I have documentation from the family in Walterboro, South Carolina, where a good part of the film was shot. The family had it for over 60 years.
The drivetrain – The 322 V-8 cranks, but does not turn over. I did not try to mess with it further after putting new spark plug wires and a battery. I was told that the transmission needs to be rebuilt. In the trunk, you will find a torque converter and a flywheel.
Body – the body is razor straight with no dings or dents at all. There was a small spot of rust (see photos) on the driver’s floorboard and on the wheelwell in the trunk. These were patched up and painted. It only needs minor work and paint to be perfect. Or leave it as is and do it patina style.
Chrome – All complete, but need to be re-plated for show.
Brakes – Need to be rebuilt or upgraded (around $1,500 - $2,000 for disc brake upgrade).
Electrics – The glass is intact, but the windows do not roll up and down due to the hydraulics being disconnected or in need of repair. There is a kit for around $1,000 where you can upgrade the operation to electric. The top goes up and down manually, as I disconnected it from the hydroelectric operation. The lights work fine. I have not tested the instrument panels.
Interior – Original side panels and seats. The seats were reupholstered in non-original material at some point. Minor rips, tears or scratches. The chrome that covers the top of the door panels are missing (this is the only missing item).
Top – Ok for a driver (hole on side of driver, ripped at passenger side). New material costs around $300.
When done, these cars sell for $80,000 to $150,000. Just check them out on the auction circuits. Parts are scarce, but there is a strong support base within the Buick Skylark club. This one would not take tons of work to restore.
310-647-7150 for more information. Clear title. Open to offers. -

The seller made $30,000 on the deal BUT figure in his commission ( 10% if reserve, 5% if no reserve) plus the cost of listing the car and yes, you pay more depending on which day the car is shown. Plus I'm pretty sure, the State gets a cut for sales tax. Need confirmation.
Another thing- that car was repainted, in the original color. I was surprised at what it brought.
Seller likely made more than that. This car was for sale in August of 2021 for $75k obo.
-
it was for sale in August last year for $75k, but I don't think it sold and they took it to auction.

Wow. That's good money for a hardtop.
I bet the 66c owners have dollar signs dancing in their heads...
I know I have some dancing in my head, lol. May be time to get the 55 out of winter storage and look into a BAT listing in the near future.........

That’s way too high. That is an outlier for sure. But, it sold (I guess). Please don’t tell me you can’t restore one for that price.
The car may be an outlier, but not the auction itself, given it has sold for $40k + twice in 2 years.......

That $84k sale occurred in May, 2018. Funny; the VIN on the eBay car is only 4 numbers "later" than the BaT car.
Are you certain this eBay listing was a scam sale?
I agree; it really smells fishy!
Yes, I am certain it was a scam.
-
It is a scam ad, car sold on BAT for $80k+ recently. And it is Gran Sport, Buick didn't use Grand Sport, Corvette did. 😀
-
Not mine, was just posting a lead at the time.
-
MrEarl, is it possible to add the link to the Main Heading the same way the AACA is?
Just my opinion based on my own browsing habits, but I tend to look at the "Not Mine" listings more than the member listings, probably because there is so much more activity in the Not Mine forum. If anything, I would think that having them together (like the Buick buy sell forum was) generates more views for member listings, not less.

As a side note, the silver 65 that was on BAT in May of 2018 and sold for $84k, was purchased by the selling dealer the previous month on ebay for $45k. Minor clean up and better pictures netted a nice profit!

IT IS A SCAM. Here is the BAT ad when it was last sold. Same pics.

1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport
Is the title at the top of the BAT post. 😉
That is the real Gran Sport Ed, this is the one we are talking about.

The dealership referred to the car as a 1965 Riviera, nowhere in the ad did they say it was a Gran Sport.

I believe this used to be Dick Sweeney's car at one time.

I think I could make room for any of these:😀
