For Sale: 1962 Buick Skylark in Concord, North Carolina

This 1962 Buick Skylark hardtop represents a distinct era in all the best ways. An attractive design, unibody construction, and a V8 that would become the toast of Europe. So to have this, all presented so authentically - right down to the numbers-matching motor - is quite a nice treat at quite a nice price.

Yes, you are reading the info correctly, this is on an actual miles title, and we don't know when was the last time we've seen a 60-year-old classic with such a low odometer. And that kind of preservation set the tone for the whole car. The trim tag tells us this is wearing its factory-correct Cameo Cream with a white roof. The light shades of the two-tone give it a premium sense of style, especially with the nice trim separating the hardtop roof. It makes the car look quite formal, especially with the badge at the base of the c-pillar. And we love this year for some many impressive design features. The rocket-like design of the sheet metal has the tip extending past the headlights. The front end is one of the most tastefully attractive chrome designs of the era. And the taillight panel is so well integrated that it wraps around and is also part of the side trim. The overall impression is a coupe that's extra vintage and extra dignified. So we're also glad to see that it's not over-restored. Even the classic dear tag is still on the rear. Everything looks clean and complete, but there's enough age in the finish to make this appear like a low-mileage survivor that grandpa only took out on Sundays.

The black interior looks quite formal and inviting. Button-top seatback, matching door panels, beautifully bright dash trim, and full carpeting with Buick logo floor mats. This Skylark is a time capsule level of completion. Like the exterior, it looks extraordinary with just the right hints of age from responsible use. It's unclear if it's all original, but it appears that way. And so, more than just the low mileage, this will impress vintage lovers with everything from the working AM radio to a spare tire that looks like a new factory unit.

Under the hood is the numbers-matching 215 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top. It has a clean and correct style that makes it ready to showcase, and there's a good reason to show off this powerhouse. This lightweight aluminum block was a bit ahead of its time at GM, and it was only available for a very short amount of time. However, it found a larger purpose in England, where it was developed to power everything from Morgans to Range Rovers. Power steering, an automatic transmission, and a supple suspension feel nice when cruising.

Who knew this much distinction could also be so affordable? That's why you know you need to hurry on this Buick hardtop. Call now!
