1969 Buick Skylark

Description

This 1969 Buick Skylark has a terrific vintage style with the right color combo, a cool hardtop profile, and an updated bucket seat interior. So at a price like this, you're looking at quite a tempting V8 cruiser.

This was arguably the best year for the Skylark's design. Swoopy sheet metal and sharp ends came together for the kind of intricate design they wouldn't dare try today. The factory-correct Signal Red was updated later in life so that it allows the sunlight to highlight all these intricate design pieces and the well-fitting panels with a nice clearcoat luster. This has the right amount of chrome in all the right places. The brightwork on the bumper and grille surround the angular front, and in the back, the bumper helps give this coupe a wing-swept look. It's a total package that has the aggression of a Grand Sport, right down to the Rallye wheels. But there's also some elegance in the overall impression, and that makes this feel extra-special.

The black interior looks good against the red. It has a solid presentation on the upholstery, door panels, carpeting, dash pad, and headliner to make it a nice place to spend some time. It's a terrific driver's environment. You have front bucket seats with a center console in-between. There's a horseshoe floor shifter, wood-rimmed steering ethel, a tilt column, auxiliary readouts, and a large tach mounted prominently on the column. There's even an upgraded AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with Bluetooth. So you'll love rolling the windows down on this pillarless hardtop, cranking up your music, and going for a drive.

Under the hood is an upgrade to Buick's 350 cubic-inch V8. This is a great piece to have because Buick's version was known for being a torque king. Plus, the bold red block now inhales deeper with an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust. And because this is a true Buick, there's an easy driving nature thanks to comfortable features like power steering, power brakes with discs up front, and the three-speed automatic transmission.

This Skylark has the right mix of distinction and a true cruiser style. That's why this hardtop is irresistible. Call today!!!
