Vehicle Description
A luxurious classic that has all the right features, and it even
still has its original V8 under the hood. We're surprised, too,
that a classic droptop like this is still affordable today. So,
it's time to get your hands on this 1969 Buick Skylark Custom
convertible before someone else discovers its value.
You paid more for a Buick back in the day, and style is the reason
why. But not everyone was willing to pay the premium, so a '69
Skylark custom convertible is rare, with less than 6,600 produced,
and there's a lot more to love here than just rarity. The sweeping
sides look great, with a contoured trim piece that seamlessly
swoops over the fenders and through the door line. It helps to
highlight the curves that make this Skylark look like a bird of
prey. Overall, it's an amazing work of art that car companies
wouldn't even attempt today, and you can see all of it so well
thanks to great care and a recent respray of the factory-correct
Polar White. There's even more to love in the details. Buick seemed
to like showcasing the most dramatic lines, so the front end is
dominated by shiny chrome and pointed sharp edges. It's even more
striking in the rear where the tapered trunk meets the form-fitting
bumper to create a look that is positively European. Those 17-inch
Ridler wheels fit perfectly with this Skylark's chrome and style
personality, but if you're a lover of originality, the factory
wheels come with the sale.
Few colors look better against white paint than a deep red
interior. So, that's exactly what you want on a droptop classic
like this. We know all the right investments have been made here,
like new sound insulation and new carpeting. But more than just
look great, this Skylark upholds Buick's luxury image and adds some
performance touches. For example, the Strato bucket seats up front
offer individual comfort. But when you add in the center console
with horseshoe shifter and tach, the total experience begins to
feel even more sporty. The same goes for the moment you slip behind
the three-spoke steering wheel. You get great classic touches like
the speedometer that's as long as the horizon, and plenty of
original accessories still in place. But the addition of the
auxiliary gauge trio under the dash reminds you this is a V8
convertible. We know the features you're going to love the most.
With the flip of a switch, the newer black folding roof hides
behind the rear seats. And when combined with the power windows, it
means you don't have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed
comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience.
Under the hood this car proudly shows off its original
numbers-matching 350 cubic-inch powerplant. The ultra-clean engine
bay has bright Dante Red paint on the block, unique ribbed valve
covers, and plenty of the factory-correct decals - everything that
people love to see at the car shows. There's also been good
maintenance with items like clean hoses and a rebuilt carburetor.
It's a total package that gives you everything you want in a
powerful vintage cruiser. That also includes nice driving features
like the three-speed automatic transmission, and power
steering.
This Skylark comes with its factory buildsheet, so you can document
how accurate it is, and all the great features it has. This level
of presentation is usually reserved for high-dollar classic, so you
better hurry before this bargain is gone. Call now!!
