1972 Buick Skylark - CA Blue Plate Car

Selling my 1972 Buick Skylark. Original California car. Extremely SOLID, original, and rust free in all the usual places. ~56,6XX miles

Last year of the classic and ever popular A-body style!

Purchased recently with the intent of pro-touring the car but with a pending career change I have to adjust my priorities and cut back on projects. All I’ve done is bleed the brakes and vacuum the interior.
Runs and drives great! Starts every time, smooth idle and comfortable ride. Ready to go weekend cruiser or perfect candidate for restoration or pro-touring.

Car is located in Carlsbad, CA. $5950 OBO. Motivated Seller!

Car is extremely original and complete, down to the smog pump and manifold.

My Dad was a Buick guy. He also had a Skylark, but a few years earlier than this one. I remember it had some touchy brakes -- wow -- good brakes but very sensitive. I remember I borrowed the car one night and unfortunately bottomed-out on a dip in the road and scraped-off the exhaust...Dad fired that thing up the next morning and it loud -- sounded like some of our Raptors...lol...not a good morning for me.

Both video clips make the engine sound like the lifters or rods are knocking? What's your take on this?

I got the same question from some of the potential buyers so I made a third video.

The lifter tick you're hearing is actually the smog pump clattering away. Ran over the engine with a stethoscope and the valve train is nice and quiet.

Car is SOLD.
