One of the women that worked with my wife knew I was into cars and her father had this for 40 years and he past away and ask me If I wanted it site unseen. 3 months later she told me to pick it up. They were going to donate it to a school and no one wanted it and the other was a scrap truck for $50

Wow Kim you might be only the second owner if he had it for 40 years. Looks really solid from what I can see, you got your goat done just in time for this.

Exactly. I am a little confused why we would think a school should take a car like this in the first place, its over 40 year old technology and would have very little if any training benefit for students to learn on a car from some by gone era.

With respect to the car it is always neat to get a free car and something like this with lots of cool appeal for a hobbyist is magazine article worthy. If only it was a Poncho, as I know the editor of a nationally circulated Pontiac publication.

The 4 door 60 Laurentian that I scrapped was the same kind of story. They tried to donate it to a school and the school refused it. Met a guy at one of the cruise nites and he told me the story. Gave him my phone # and the next night the owner called and said I could come pick it up.

Nice score!  I love those Skylarks!

I'm definitely living on the wrong coast!  Around here, an "old car" sitting in somebody's yard would be something from the '90s...  The days of scoring a car like that are long gone.

I was looking at Year One on productions #'s and it dosen't show the 350-2 confuseconfuse

 

I wonder if those 1/4's they got would fit?

Didn't we have a Buick guy on here

I thank the fellow members for offering space for this non Pontiac.

That's strange as I believe the 350-2 was the most common engine in those cars.
