that is one BEAUTIFUL car.





is the interior in as good of shape as the ext?

 

yes she is, i have a vid of her on youtube if u care to take a look,


vids called "my 1965 buick skylark GS"

 

sounded nice, and int is also in great shape.


how about a vid in motion so we can really hear that exhaust. or at least a rev for a teaser.

 

doin alittle engine work atm, vid is old..engine wasnt up to snuff..so im rebuilding it to its original state, ill be putting it all back in this monday, probably by wendesday ill have everything back together..then ill give u a nice big taste, muhaha

 

patiently waiting. well, probably a little more impatiently. [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

 

i have been workin on it for over a month, think how i feel to finnaly have it done, haha, the extiror an int were good, but the engine was f**ked hard..piston 8 was dead, 2 lifters were broke in half just floating around, my cam was ground down to almost nothing,had some serious scoring in my piston walls, had 43 years of grease build up an was leacking oil like a siv, i have replace EVERYTHHING with remanufactured original parts, im into keepin it 100% original, its just my style, (minus exhaust>=]) i have been workin hard an waitting patiently for a very long time to hear the first start up after my rebuild, the engine only had 130k on it, but it had 43 years an 5 years of sittin in some dude garage wearin down on it, along with that i have replaced the tranny,front an rear shocks/sprind,fuel sender,fuel pump an some minor nick naks here an there

 

Wow. That is a beautiful car... Sadly car companies don't make anything like this anymore

 

my fully resored engine, YAY
