1961 marked a new beginning for Buick, as it witnessed the debut of a new Special based on the same platform as other GM models, including the Pontiac Tempest and Oldsmobile F-85.
Using the same chassis and engines, these new models targeted the compact class with a more compelling offering, including a new engine to replace the standard aluminum block.
The Buick Special lineup also witnessed the debut of the Skylark, which pioneered the introduction of the new 215. The engine replaced the previous two-barrel configuration with a four-barrel unit, increasing the power output from 155 to 185 horsepower.
A 1961 Buick Skylark made its way to eBay this week with a very ambitious mission. The car hopes to convince an experienced restorer to take it home and begin a complete restoration, though I wouldn't be surprised to see this Skylark becoming a parts car.
The 215 engine under the hood is intriguing for someone who wants to save an original Buick, but the good news ends here. The engine is already stuck, though it's unclear if a good mechanic would be able to save it. The main reason for the horrible mechanical condition is a long tenure off the road.
eBay seller u want I fine says the Skylark has been sitting for over two decades in a yard, and we all know that sleeping under the clear sky can't bring any good news. The owner says some wheels are also stuck, but hopefully, you'll be able to get it on a trailer.
If you want to see the glass half-full, the seller has a little surprise for potential buyers. The Skylark is complete, so if you believe the vehicle still deserves a chance to return to the road, you shouldn't spend too much time searching for parts. I don't expect everything to be in good shape, so you must inspect everything in person.
The rust has invaded the metal, and the floors and the trunk probably exhibit the most concerning damage.
The Skylark landed on eBay with a package that will make many people walk away. It no longer works, the engine is stuck, and the vehicle comes without a title, so bringing it back to the road is going to be a massive challenge.
However, the seller believes they would still be able to get $2,400 for the Skylark, with no other offers accepted. According to eBay's statistics, six people are already monitoring the listing, probably hoping for a discount. If you want to see this Skylark live, you'll have to travel to Little Mountain, South Carolina, and you'll need a trailer to take it home. The owner guarantees you'll be impressed, as their Buick is far from becoming a rust bucket.
