For Sale: 1963 Buick Skylark in SONOMA, California

Vehicle Description

1963 Buick Skylark 2-Door Sport Coupe
2-Owner California Car, Rebuilt 327 V8

For sale is a fantastic 1963 Buick Skylark 2-Door Sport Coupe, a great-driving, budget-friendly muscle car with a rich California history. Purchased used around 1970 from Silvera Buick in Cloverdale, California, this two-owner classic was driven for several years before being passed on to the original owner's son, who used it during college and eventually put it into long-term storage. It's been recently made road-ready and drives great. This Skylark is a true survivor, built in Flint, Michigan, in the fifth week of March 1963, and originally finished in Cordovan Maroon and Arctic White. 

Repainted a few years ago, the body is rust-free with solid floors and panels. The paint has a nice shine, though it's a lower-budget finish with imperfections. The chrome trim, glass, and lenses present well, and the car includes its original black-and-yellow California license plates (not currently assigned), adding a nostalgic touch. It rides on stock rims wrapped in fresh tires.

Under the hood, a strong-running, rebuilt Chevrolet 327 V8, installed years ago to replace the tired original 215 V8, delivers excellent power. Paired with a smooth Powerglide automatic transmission  (replaced at the same time), it shifts smoothly, enhanced by a B&M shifter kit. Recent upgrades include a new Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, HEI electronic ignition, electronic fuel pump, fresh oil change, spark plugs, and starter, ensuring reliable performance. The engine fires up easily, idles smoothly, and has plenty of muscle for spirited drives.

The interior features the original white vinyl upholstery, which is tired but serviceable as-is, reflecting the car's authentic character. The under-dash gauges, which display temperature, oil pressure, and boost, are fully functional, although the RPM gauge is intermittent. The lights and wipers function well, and the window regulators operate smoothly, but the clock and radio are currently inoperable. Also, the heater box is present though not hooked up. Despite these quirks, the cockpit is comfortable and ready for cruising. A good car that you can enjoy using while you are making improvements.  

This Skylark drives like a true muscle car, with tight handling and strong braking, making it a blast to drive on a budget. It comes with the owner's manual and numerous repair receipts.
