THE ULTIMATE SLEEPER! This is not your typical grocery getting,
Buick Skylark. Capable of running high 11's in the � mile, this
Skylark packs a serious punch with a high compression 455 cubic
inch big block. 45 years ago the seller's mother purchased this car
for a practical commuter with stylish looks and to run errands
around town in. After a couple years she decided to pass it down to
her daughter who drove it and enjoyed it, and once she had her
chance to enjoy the car, it ultimately ended up in the hands of the
current owner who was son to the original owner and brother of the
second. Since he took possession of this car all of those years
ago, he has made some pretty radical changes. Back in 1990 the car
underwent a complete restoration where any panels that had
blemishes were replaced with NOS metal and was repainted the stock
original Cortez Gold. All of the suspension components were
replaced and tubular upper controls arms were put on. The bushings
were all gone through and the steering box was replaced as well.
1975 Nova spindles were put on the front with disc brakes. Out
back, the 12 bolt rear end was fitted with 3.90 gears and C-clip
eliminators. A heavy duty drive shaft ties the rear end to the
built up turbo 400 transmission that is equipped with a 3800 stall
Dynamic converter. The engine is a 455CID V8 with 12:1 compression
running on 110 octane fuel. Standard heads converted to Stage one
heads and roller rockers. Sitting on top is a SP1 intake and a Race
Demon 1000cfm carburetor. An Aeromotive fuel tank and electric fuel
pump quenches the thirst of this big block and also comes equipped
with a Barry Grant recirculating fuel system. This Skylark is ready
to hit the streets and take people by surprise or lay down some
serious times at the track. Whatever you decide to do, this Buick
will put a big smile on your face! This vehicle is located in our
