Vehicle Description
Up for sale in Gateway's Houston showroom is this super sweet 1971
Buick Skylark GS tribute car. The Buick Skylark needs no
introduction and has been a staple in the classic muscle car scene
for many years. There are many out there in the market but this one
is particularly clean and cool. Powering this bad Skylark down the
road is a time period correct 455 CiD V8 that is factory correct.
It features the cold air induction system that is feed through the
functional scoops in the hood. These big block Buick engines were
notorious for the torque they delivered, and this is sure to
provide all the thrills & sounds you would expect from such a
powerhouse. It is paired to a smooth shifting 3-speed automatic
transmission. The transmission is firm but not harsh, shifts
smoothly up & down through the gears. The engine & transmission
have both been rebuilt with approx.. 10k miles on them since their
installation. Looking at the exterior of the car you will see the
car has been repainted in its original color Silver Fern (#41) and
it shows very well. It is free from very noticeable scratches,
dings, dents, or blemishes. The clear coat shines look great out in
the sun! The body is straight & true, and the paint was applied
well, and the body panel gaps are parallel with each other and
even. The car was restored to retain a more authentic and original
look. The car sits on a newer set of American Racing 17-inch wheels
that are wrapped in Kumho low profile tires that have plenty of
life left in them. Getting into the drivers' seat of the car you
will see a mostly original and authentic restored interior that
looks fantastic. Staying true to form with the car, the seats are
covered in factory correct light green vinyl trim code #100. The
carpet, door panels, headliner, dash, & glass are all in excellent
condition. The seats are very comfortable & were obviously
re-padded. With no cracks in the dash, no tears in the seats, this
car is turn-key ready to go! The car shows very well but drives
even better. The suspension has been updated & reconditioned. The
doors open & close with ease. The car just drives like a classic
should with no surprises. It has an amazing amount of torque off
the line and it sounds like a real muscle car should. To see more

had the brakes serviced (4 wheel drum all 4 corners), new SS
exhaust, & more.
