JZRIV Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) From ebay listing description As shown in pics, this car needs a total restoration. Most metal work is done, and most rust repaired. Floors and trunk pan repaired. Car does have some surface rust but nothing major. Front and rear seats not shown, but are in pretty good condition, with vinyl covers. Engine/Transmission in car, but not rebuilt. Looks to be original motor, but you must verify. This is a rolling chassis, but not running. 2 new rams have been installed for convertible top. Comes with all stainless side spears in good condition. Completed auction ebay link - https://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Buick-Skylark-Convertible/124105698696?hash=item1ce546ad88:g:y4kAAOSwpGpeXsmE Edited March 12, 2020 by JZRIV (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billbuickgs Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yes this condition would be a parts car in most cases , but this is a 1953 Buick "SKYLARK " . If one could afford to restore this car , you have the most beautiful BUICKS ever made . my 2 cents ! Bill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Agreed, I previously had a truck repair shop with ample space and lots of equipment but no more. I would have jump into that Lark no questions. Regardless of condition, the car still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Guy Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 That was my ebay auction. The car is now undergoing a restoration and we need 3 pieces of side trim to include gas door and piece behind it that goes towards rear of car. Also does anyone know if Di-Con (3M) material is still available for the bottom half of the dash, and where to purchase? Also will be needing wheels and assorted other parts such as trunk emblem V8 with Roadmaster name on it. Any help is appreciated. Pics of car that were in the ebay auction. I have no updated pics right now. Also below is trunk emblem we need. Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbuickgs Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Florida Guy , Thanks for saving the 53 . Looks as if it was white with red interior. What number is the Skylark ( located on the body plate passenger side fire wall ) ? Good luck and post progress pictures ! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Guy Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Gentlemen... a friend of mine is restoring the Skylark. I am his parts-finder, as he doesn't even own a computer. I search out the parts he needs, and am not involved in the actual resto, so will not be able to post pics of progress. At the end of the resto, I will be the one to take pics and list it for sale, but that's a long way away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
