1970 Buick Skylark (454 Big Block)



From the seller:
Hello I have 1970 Buick Skylark, I've swapped out the engine to a 454 big block. The car push(e)s around 450hp, the paint and body are in great shape.

$6,500 OBO

eBay listing. Previous listing at $5,500 had no offers. Only one sale of a 1970 Skylark on eBay for the month of April. It sold for $720.00, obviously a parts car or fixer upper.

Thoughts:
According to the eBay listing the interior needs doing. That's $500 for repro covers (front and back), $200 for seat foam and $250 for a pair of spring assemblies (if needed). A dash cover will set you back $50.00. Oh, and you will have to put a few gauges back in the dash. Mileage is at 100k, three owners. That's not too bad. Who needs originality when you've got all that horsepower. Get it for $4,500, fix the interior and you are good to go. When this muscle car gets it's proper respect, you just may get your money back and then some.
