1966 Buick Skylark Convertible

Description

V8 power, a premium color combo, and affordable price mean this 1966 Buick Skylark Convertible gives you the chance at a distinct drop-top classic cruiser for an obtainable price.

We love this generation of Buick for their design lines. Both the front and rear have a triple-point look where not only are the fenders crisp, but also there's a well-defined center in the trunk and hood, too. Plus, the chrome bumpers love to hug these design lines for a look that's both sporty and sophisticated. So it's quite a distinct style that Buick delivered 55+ years ago. And this one likes to turn it up a notch with a memorable presentation. The polished dual exhaust tips and Cragar SS wheels give you some sporty style. The factory-correct Verde Green has some metallic in it for a nice glow in the sunshine. This combines with the tan convertible top for a premium color combo. And while the style feels upper class, the overall fit and finish never takes itself too seriously, and that means you have a classic that's easy to take out and enjoy on a whim.

Since we like the way the tan roof looks against the deep green exterior, we love to take it down and see a similar color combo with the Light Fawn interior. The trim tag even tells us these are the factory-correct colors. This one is all about being a fun and easy cruiser. So there are nice comfort features like a power convertible top and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. And it's a driver-oriented setup with front bucket seats, a center console in-between, a floor shifter, an upgraded sports steering wheel, and an under-dash auxiliary gauge trio.

The engine bay has a useful upgrade. It's a GM V8 but from the Chevrolet side of the family. This 305 cubic-inch small block is known for being hardy and having plenty of nice upgrades available. In fact, this already has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and headers feeding the dual exhaust. It's the kind of powerhouse that's fun to work on, and there's even a tach uniquely placed on the firewall for added info. But even from day one, this is a pleasant cruiser that includes premium features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, maintenance records, title documentation, and a history pamphlet on the car suggesting this is only a three-owner convertible! A good Skylark always offers distinction on the classic car scene, and this one has the right additions to be an even more fun drop-top cruiser. Call today!!!
