Vehicle Description
In the 1960s you bought a Buick because you wanted style to go with
your power. Today that spirit has made them a true unique cruiser,
and in the case of this 1964 Buick Skylark coupe, you get a
well-coordinated package and the special 300ci V8 under the
hood.
1964 was the introduction of the iconic Chevrolet Chevelle, and its
Buick cousin offers that same appeal with added style (and a nicer
price today.) Buick's designs were coming into the modern era
during this time and had done away with gratuitous chrome on their
cars. It has the right amount in places like the form-fitting
bumpers, wide grille, and iconic portholes to be impressive
standout styling elements without being overbearing. Instead, what
really does the talking is the design. The sheet metal gives you a
beak-like front end, sweeping sides with aggressive red streak, and
a tail section that looks stretched by the wind. This Skylark
really appears like it's about to take flight!
That red streak on the outside was actually a preview of the full
red interior. The seats are quite inviting with their button-top
pattern and fresh presentation. This might have been an
intermediate-sized coupe in the 1960s, but today that means plenty
of room to take up to four people along with you. Still, even when
it's just you out for a cruise, this hardtop is good fun. You have
the individual comfort of a bucket seat. Plus, the steering wheel
is a newer NK4 unit that gives you superior grip without
obstructing the driver-oriented dash.
When you lift the hood, you'll immediately see the Buick's Dante
Red block and matching valve covers radiating from within the black
engine bay. And as you look deeper into the details - correct air
topper, tidy wires, good belts, correct washer bottle, etc. - you
realize how well this V8 is presented in total. The four-barrel
carburetor version of Buick's 300 cubic-inch motor was a
short-lived option, but it's an ideal one. It combined the motor's
light weight with a fine power package, and that's why it's
sought-after today. That kind of history makes us happy that this
one fires up easily, idles smoothly, and makes a nice sound out of
the newer dual exhaust. Out on the road, features like the front
sway bar and TH200-4R three-speed automatic transmission make sure
this Buick retains its easy cruising attitude.
Well-coordinated, nicely presented, and V8-powered - this is
exactly what you want in a standout classic. And when a Buick like
this is so nicely priced, then you know you need to hurry to grab
this deal. Call now!
