Now for sale in our Houston showroom is a nostalgic 1968 Buick
Skylark Custom convertible. For 1968, GM restyled their A-body
platform with a fresh look. Built from the factory dressed to
impress, and equipped with plenty of nice touches, this Buick is a
fine representation of late 60's "luxury with performance".
Powering this '68 Buick GS for sale is a freshly-rebuilt 350 CID V8
engine, with only about 200 miles on it. This 350 comes with a mild
performance cam, a T/A Performance Products Stage 1 intake
manifold, 4BBL Edelbrock carb, long tube headers, and T/A
Performance aluminum valve covers. Buick's factory rating for their
350 CID V8 was listed 280 horsepower; so, no doubt this one has
upped the ante. To keep the big V8 in the cool zone, a big Champion
Cooling Products aluminum radiator (with a built-in trans cooler)
has been installed. Fire up the big V8, and it produces a healthy
rumble through its Flowmaster-equipped dual exhaust. One can
immediately tell that this Buick fits the definition of "The
Gentleman's Muscle Car." Sticking out at shows, this Buick Skylark
Custom convertible for sale is a solid example befitting Buick's
catch phrase "The Distinctive Personal Car for Americana on the
GO." Backing the healthy 350 is a 200R4 4-speed automatic
transmission, and a set of Equus gauges and tach help the driver
keep tabs on the drivetrain. Add in power steering and power brakes
and you have yourself one comfortable ride. The exterior is a
driver quality shade of Metallic Blue. Paired with a black
convertible top, it's easy to see that this car was born during the
muscle car era! The 17" chromed aluminum Ridler 5 spoke wheels are
wrapped in 245/45-ZR17 Toyo Extensa HP radial at all 4 corners.
Make your way into the cockpit, and you'll feel like you've been
taken back in time. White vinyl adorns the front and rear bench
seats, with the rest of the interior done in black, providing a
nice contrast. With enough room for you and five of your friends,
this Buick is begging to be your new party barge! Options on this
1968 Buick Skylark Custom convertible include: Aluminum Wheels,
Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, Vinyl
Seating. Whether you're looking for a weekend cruiser, you're a
Buick aficionado, or simply want another toy for your collection,
this Buick is for you. For more information on this 1968 Buick
