DaveBerg Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 There is a fellow in New Alexandria, PA that has a 1954 Skylark that he is just now talking about maybe selling. I have seen the car and it is a fully restored, national winner. Aqua blue in color. A really nice car and really NOT cheap. If you have interest in such a car I will gladly put you two together.

I think he is looking for the 70's or 80's Skyhawk. Definitely a much cheaper car to buy. What year are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveBerg Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 You are correct. I have to learn how to master this old age thing or read. Whichever is easier. thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbartlett Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Careful, my wife had a brand-new Skyhawk in the mid-80s. The engine blew at about 40,000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I used to work on those cars when relatively new....not a very well built four cylinder car... I think most scrapped.....engine and transmission issues. Hope your dream of finding one comes true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I am not a Buick guy by any means, but curious about the difference between a SkyHawk and a SkyLark. I think I remember SkyLarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Here are a few examples. Probably not a real popular car in collector car circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Kind of hard to believe the same company that made the 53 Skylark and Yjob made these, but times change I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pre10 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 They are actually a Vega with a different engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Looks like a Monza that a customer of mine used to drive. It had a V8 and one of the spark plugs was the toughest one that I had ever changed. Previous mechanics hadn't bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neighbors son had a v-8 Monza and if I remember right the procedure for removing that last spark plug involved loosening the engine mounts and jacking up the motor to provide access. My understanding is that many owners or mechanics drilled a hole in the inner fender to get to it..

My understanding is that many owners or mechanics drilled a hole in the inner fender to get to it.. Didn't and wouldn't do that. But I could see an owner doing it. Yes, Jacking the engine off of its mounts to at least make it less difficult. I think that there was a recommended procedure that involved turning the offending plug by putting a piece of vacuum tubing on it to turn it. However that didn't work either for obvious reasons. The car was not new to my customer, however he had had tune ups done on it prior to bringing it to me, but it didn't run any better until it was done by replacing ALL of the spark plugs as a part of the job. It was a relatively high mileage car as the wife had a long commute. She put over a hundred and fifty miles a day on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
