To start with, et me first say that I am listing this ’72 Buick Skylark GS for a well-known classic and muscle car dealership and in doing so, will be acting as an agent for this dealership. The owner, ho is a friend and someone that I have known for over 20 years, ounded his dealership in 1996 and has been a veteran of the car business for over 30 years. All of his vehicles are chosen for the highest standards and quality. A careful and complete analysis is done on every one before they offered for sale.

I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not buying. However, or the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned money, feel that there is never too much information.

As to myself, am not a dealer, ust a (65) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, am retired from managing a Correctional Facility here in Maine and had worked for the Maine Department of Corrections for (40) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Also, lease check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,139) transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to individuals all over the country as well as Canada, ngland, rance, witzerland and Australia.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE WELCOME WITH A DOWN PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL AND THE BALANCE VIA WIRE TRANSFER ONLY.

Just Some Quick History on the Buick Skylarks:

Created to mark Buick's 50th anniversary,theRoadmaster Skylarkjoined theOldsmobile 98Fiesta andCadillac Series 62 Eldoradoas top-of-the-line, imited-production specialty convertibles introduced in 1953 byGeneral Motorsto promote its design leadership. Of the three, he Skylark's run of 1,690 units proved the most successful, nd an amazing sales feat considering the car's 1953 list price of slightly in excess of $5,000 was almost 50% more than the well-equipped $3,200 Roadmaster convertible it was based on.

In the fall of 1960, eneral Motors introduced a trio of new compact cars for the 1961 model year that shared the same chassis, ngines, nd basic sheet metal: theBuick Special,Pontiac Tempest, ndOldsmobile F-85. The Special's styling was strongly influenced by the new corporate look shared with the largerLeSabre,Invicta, ndElectraalso introduced in 1961.

Beginning with the 1964 model year, he dressed-up compact had enough sales to merit its own separate line, heBuick Skylark.Along with the lower-priced Special from which it was derived, he Skylark would move to a new intermediate-size chassis that was shared with theOldsmobile F-85, ontiac Tempest, nd the newChevrolet Chevelle.

The 1968 model year was one of significant change for the Buick Skylark.Although still using the same basic chassis, ll of GM’s mid-sized cars adopted a policy of using two different length wheelbases. 1972 was the last model year for the mid-sized Buick Skylark. For 1972, he base Buick Skylark used the 350-cubic-inch V8 with the 2-barrel Rochester carburetor (now putting out 145 horsepower) as standard equipment.

This 1972 Skylark is a beautiful original example that has only 37,012 actual miles with original paint that still has a factory fresh appearance This well preserved ‘72 Buick Skylark 2-door hardtop was built in the Framingham, A assembly plant the 4th week of May 1972. The car was ordered with and still retains the original 350-2V V8 numbers matching engine that runs extremely well and still has all the factory components with no modifications. The original automatic transmission shifts smooth and the Buick is fitted with power steering and power drum front brakes.

Right at the beginning of my ad I stated: "To start with, et me first say that I am listing this ’72 Buick Skylark GS..." As I am sure you have seen in the rest of the ad, he Buick is not a GS model but the base Skylark. I was not trying to deceive anyone and I apologize for that mistake and if anyone has submitted a bid assuming that the Buick was a GS model, lease feel free to retract your bid. Again, am sorry for the confusion.

In the ad, mentioned: "The factory AM/FM 8-Track player was working when the car was picked up, owever just the radio lights up now and the radio is inoperative at this time." The issues with the radio was simply that there was no reception inside the building. Once outside, he radio worked fine. Just wanted to update everyone that the radio problem has been resolved. Sorry for any inconvienence.
