I bought this car back from the people I sold it to 20 years ago.
They kept it in excellent condition. This Skylark is full of
options and good looks. It is equipped like a GS- suspension,
gauges, spoiler, wheels, mirrors & motor.
EXTERIOR: It is a looker. Handsome body style and it's decked out
with extra bright red paint, GS wheels, sport mirrors and a
spoiler. This paint job is over 20 years old and it's held up
really well. Each side of the car and across the tops of the car is
straight. It's straight all along the bottom, I don't see any
bubbles. The paint is polished smooth and glossy. There will be a
couple touch ups or minor imperfections, but you'd have to look for
them. Up front everything fits real nice, the bumper's been
rechromed, the grill is excellent. In back the bumper is rechromed
and also fits real nice. Door jambs are painted nice, the weather
strips and window seals have been replaced. Convertible top is
white with a glass window. The weather strips are replaced on the
top frame. The chrome GS 14 inch wheels are in very good condition,
the center caps look new. BF Goodrich tires look new. The
windshield's been replaced.
INTERIOR: Very nice unabused interior with some nice features. It
has GS gauges and tachometer in the dash, also a speed minder on
the speedometer. The tilt column has a deluxe wheel. The bucket
seats have a console in between them. There are even power windows,
a nice feature in a convertible. The instrument area is all clean
and tidy- the vents, knobs, dash pad, kick panels are all really
good. Down on the floor the carpet is real nice and it has some
nice Skylark floor mats. The upholstery and door panels overall are
very good with a few imperfections. There's a small tear and the
driver's seat, some small cracks on the lower passenger seat.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Very clean engine compartment. The 350 motor
has the four barrel carb and HEI ignition. Dressed up with chrome
valve covers, stock air cleaner is complete with heat riser tubes
and new decal. Features include power steering, power brakes and
cruise control. Water pump is new, upgraded radiator. The shroud,
fan and overflow bottle are proper. The alternator looks new. Clean
firewall, squirters are hooked up. The metal surfaces are painted
nice.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Solid metal, it's had a new trunk floor welded
in. Gray and white spatter finish paint. It also has the rubber mat
and matching tire cover. It has the complete jack and spare
assembly. The well liner and weather strip were replaced. The
bottom of the trunk lid and the jambs are painted glossy. The trunk
light works.
UNDERSIDE: Underneath this car looks very nice. It has the sport
suspension which includes boxed control arms, front and rear sway
bars. Shocks were just replaced. The front end looks like it's been
gone through- ball joints, bushings, tie rod ends have been
replaced at some point. It has disc brakes in front, new e-brake
cable. Dual exhaust has recent mufflers. Bottom of the motor looks
clean, the fuel pump looks fresh. It has a Turbo 350 automatic and
10 bolt rear end with a chrome cover.
In my opinion this is a perfect car to run around with. It's
comfortable, it's sporty to look at, has a lot of features. It's
also exceptionally clean and easy to maintain. It's an easy car to
resell. You can't go wrong with this one!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
