Sixties GM A body cars are some of the best cars America has ever produced. Here is a very nice example of what Buick offered in 1966. It is a Skylark with the Gran Sport (GS) option. You could say that this is the Buick GTO. The convertible you see here is an excellent car. It is powered by the legendary 401 "Nail Head" Wildcat V-8. It has 445 foot pounds of torque. Buick was so thrilled with that number when the motor was developed, they advertised it instead of the horsepower rating. They even embossed it on the air cleaner such as the one you see here. It has a 4 barrel carburetor under that factory chrome air cleaner, cast aluminum Buick valve covers, and dual exhaust. Power steering and power brakes makes it drive very well. This car is quite original. Only the steering wheel, BFG Radial T/A tires, and exhaust would you consider modified. The body is solid and features the original color when repainted. The paint is great, along with the chrome and trim. The immaculate interior features new seat covers, nice carpet, door panels, snap on boot, power windows, chrome tissue dispenser, and tilt steering. The power top is in good shape and works perfectly. The chassis is clean and shows very well. The original Buick wheels were rechromed so they are in great shape also. The supsension is rebuilt to stock specs with the exception of new air shocks on the rear. We have a good stack of receipts documenting lots of the work done. This is a fine looking car that rides, rides, and drives fantastic. There were a couple of 1st place plaques from car shows in the trunk. You will love cruising in this awesome "Drop Top"! Financing, insurance, and delivery are available.
