My original intent was and still is to turn my 71 Chevelle into a Post Sedan.



However when Jim (wheelhop) delivered this Skylark to my house....and I saw what a nice car this is....I just could not cut up such a nice car.

So my plans are to bring in back to life as it was once.... all Buick. Plain Jane....Paint code number 25 Blue, Blue Bench Seat, Rubber Floor, on the column, Big Torque 455, Turbo 400, Posi rear, Steel wheels with Buick center caps.

Dan.

I'll second Dennis' approval!

Obviously not a northern IL car all its life.

Been busy Rick, so I hadn't seen this thread till now. I love that car. The one we were drooling over in the hotel parking lot in Nashville, was one of the coolest cars I've every seen. Good luck with the resto. Keep us up to date with resto pics...
