This 72 Buick Skylark is an original one owner car from Texas until 2015. It has bucket seats and center console. The factory air conditioning still works. The interior is in good shape with minor seam separation starting on the drivers seat. It needs new weather strip around the windows. All the glass is good. It has a 350 engine with stock 2 barrel carburetor and a 350 auto trans. It drives and shifts smoothly. There is a stumble when taking off, so the carb will need adjusted or rebuilt, but the engine runs very good with no shaking or missing. It has manual drum brakes, but it does have power steering. I have two sets of wheels and tires for it. The tires on the aluminum rims are like new. The tires on the original steel rims with hubcaps are only about 20% tread left. The body is pretty solid. The floors, rockers, and doors are in great shape. The bad is that the trunk pan needs replaced from the back glass seal leaking water in to the trunk. The center section is rusted, but the rest of it looks solid. The passenger side rear fender has a dent and scuff on the front of the wheel well, but no rust. The driver side rear quarter panel was replaced a long time ago probably from a fender bender. You can see the seam where it was braised on. It also has rust at the bottom of it where the seam is starting to separate. The only other rust hole I found on it is under the battery. The hood and deck lid are also very solid. Wipers, windshield washer, locks, windows, horn, and lights all work.
