very nice ! I love those cars, always have. Ordered a brand new crank for same car in a HT back in the day. Forest Green, tan interior, buckets and a 400 4 spd. Put a set of hookers on it too.
That's close to you Carl. Is it "calling" you? AC.

The a/c is a little tacky but a Sanden compressor would fix that ...
Ya, there are some funny things happening in it's engine compartment.
Great B'day present!

i have a 69 skylark post car, its a six banger 3 in the tree , they all come with 12 bolts in them, same frame as a chevelle or beaumont, good parts cars.
a friend of mine had a 68 Skylark GS 2 door post. Eventually trans planted a 70 455 Stage 1 that he orded thru one of the London Buick dealers; don't remember which one. Raced mostly New Baltimore, MI & Detroit Dragway
My first car was a 68 GS350 in Sunflower yellow. I miss that car all the time. 16 y/o rebuilding the engine in auto shop....etc. These are great cars, very unique and increasing in value. Especially an AC car. Go get it Carl!
69 Skylark. The middle backup light (which is in addition to the backup lights by the tail lights) distinguish the 69 bumper from the 68.
Incidentally, it's really a "courtesy" lamp I believe. It does light up when you put it in reverse, but it's nowhere near as bright as the actual "reverse" lights in the tail lamp assy.

That's the reverse lamp. Carl, did you check this one out?
In addition to the inner end of each tail lamp lens having a reverse lamp? Are you thinking that's factory Todd? I've never seen such a thing but I'm no Buick expert by any means.
