The buick skylark model was made in six production runs, for 46 years, over which the cars design varied dramatically due to changing technology and tastes and new standards implemented over the years. Created to mark buicks 50th anniversary, the roadmaster skylark joined the oldsmobile 98 fiesta and cadillac series 62 eldorado as top-of-the-line, limited-production specialty convertibles introduced in 1953 by general motors to promote its design leadership. This second-generation skylark convertible has been transformed to look like the ultimate buick, the gsx. The gsx was buicks answer to pontiacs gto judge, oldsmobiles 4-4-2 w-30, and plymouths hemi cuda. This skylark is equipped with the same 455 cid v8 that came in the gsx that has been rebuilt with all new internals, balanced & blueprinted & features fastlane motorsports fuel injection system that has been tuned to the car. That monster of a v8 has only 2200 miles on it since the rebuild and it is paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission that has also been rebuilt and it shifts smooth and gives the car a sweet driving experience. The transmission has a stall speed torque converter installed on it for quicker launches. The body is in very good condition, straight & true. The bumpers, grill, trim, & emblems are also all in great shape. The car sits on its factory buick 14-inch two-tone wheels wrapped in bf goodrich tires with plenty of tread left on them. The convertible top new to the car, the car does not have the hydraulics hooked up so the top is currently manually operated, but can be converted back later if desired. The interior has been recently redone with the black vinyl seats (very comfortable), door panels, carpet, & dash are in like new condition. A small gauge cluster under the dash holds 3 gauges for engine management (oil pressure, battery voltage, & water temp).
