This 1963 Buick Skylark convertible is finished in black over red vinyl and powered by an aluminum 215ci V8 paired with a two-speed Turbine Drive transmission. Equipment includes a four-barrel carburetor, 13″ wheels with wire-spoke covers, power steering, a power-operated white soft top, a Magnaflow muffler, chrome bumpers and trim, a heater, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. The car was acquired by the seller in 2020, and the fuel pump, water pump, and timing chain are said to have been replaced in 2024. This Skylark is offered with Buick manuals and literature, service records, and Rhode Island registration.
The car was refinished in black under previous ownership, and it is fitted with a white soft top. Exterior details include chrome bumpers and trim, a left-side mirror, quad headlamps, reverse lights, and VentiPort strips on the front fenders. The convertible top motor was replaced in 2024. Pitting on the chrome trim is noted, and close-up photos of the exterior are shown in the gallery below.
The steel 13″ wheels wear wire-spoke covers and are wrapped in 185/80 Maxxis MA-1 narrow whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by drums at all four corners.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl. Appointments include front lap belts, a heater, vent windows, a lockable glove compartment, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. Rust bubbles are noted on the sill plates.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer, a fuel-level gauge, and warning lights. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles. True mileage is unknown.
The 215ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and a custom exhaust system with a Magnaflow muffler. The seller states that the fuel pump, water pump, and timing chain were replaced in 2024. An inspection was completed in preparation for the sale and is shown in the gallery below.
