Vehicle Description
HIGHLIGHTS: Get that $100,000 car look for less than half the
price! This 1970 Buick Skylark GS455 Stage 1 clone is a fantastic
car that turns heads everywhere it goes! Looks like a Stage 1 AND
drives like one too! High-powered drop-top ready to cruise!
BODY OVERVIEW: Having received a quality restoration in the past,
the body on this car is no less than stellar. It is very straight,
and all those beautiful Buick-y body lines are super crisp!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The gorgeous red paint is accented by a
wrap around black stripe, correct GS 455 Stage 1 badging and the
correct functional ram air hood. The body lines are very good and
the paint quality shows very well. It's not so clean that you
aren't going to want to drive it, but still nice enough to win
awards at your local shows.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: Inside, you'll find that starting with
a Skylark wasn't necessarily a bad thing because now we have power
windows, power locks, tilt, A/C, power steering, power brakes aand
all kinds of high-option goodies. The interior shows little to no
wear and with the power top down, it's a great place to enjoy the
summer in.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Inside the engine bay you'll find a 455ci V8
with the correct GS 455 ram air filter with Stage 1 badging. The
engine fires up very easily and has a great sound thanks to a new
exhaust. The engine dates to 1972, with a 1238861 casting number
and the correct 455 cast in the block. Highly detailed and very
authentic, this Buick's engine bay is NICE!
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: The aggressive muscle car look
combined with the topless capability.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: Clones aren't for everyone, but
this one is done right!
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? One exhaust tip could use adjustment, and
the driver side rear window only operates when using the rear
switch. Other than those minor quirks, this car is ready to go!
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Originally leaving the factory
as a 1970 Buick Skylark Custom, today it sits as a Stage 1 clone
that you don't have to feel guilty about taking out on the open
road. If you are hunting that drop top that packs a punch and looks
killer doing it, then this is the car for you.
