Buick Skylark 1970 Description

Up for sale or trade is my 1970 Buick GS clone. Car is originally a Skylark that has had the GS hood, grille and emblems put on. Car has a 442ci big block Buick engines, Muncie M20 4 speed transmission and 8.5 BOP 10 bolt rear with GM posi, 3.23 gears, nd bolt in axles. The entire drivetrain has no more than 4500 miles since built. The block is a 68 430 block. It was bored .062 to use standard 454 Chevy rings. The pistons are custom Diamond forged pieces($1000.00). It has had the main oil suction, and main oil pressure line from the pump drilled as Buick engines should have done. TA full groove cam bearings. Oil pump set up correctly. (great oil pressure) Stock crank turned 10/10. Stock rods with ARP bolts and resized. Bottom end balanced. TA 290-08H cam. TA SP1 intake. 68 430 big port heads. RobbMc 550 horse mechanical fuel pump. ATI super damper, 850 Holley DP with no choke. Older Poston long tube headers. Pypes stainless 3in exhaust with X pipe. Steel flywheel, Centerforce dual friction clutch. All ARP hardware there. Hurst Super street shifter. Muncie M20. Fresh rebuilt with some upgraded parts. 8.5 BOP 10 bolt with bolt in axles. GM posi with 3.23 gears. All fresh. This entire drivetrain has maybe 4500 miles on it. Car was just dynoed at 342 horse, and 412 ft pds torque at the wheels. Rechrome bumpers front and rear. New Weld Prostar wheels and tires. New Procar bucket seats and aftermarket center console. New carpet. Does have a crack in the dash pad. Car does not have power steering or power brakes. Its a big cammed car, and it is a bit temperamental, but it is fast, loud and fun. Gets plenty of looks going down the road. I do believe there is some filler in the quarters.I cant say how much, because I didnt do the work. The body and paint as you see are how it was when I bought it. I changed basically everything else. There is rust in the trunk that will need to be dealt with at some point. The color is Bamboo Cream which is an actual GM color. The roof I believe is original. Its not in real bad shape, but is pulled up some around the back window. A replacement would make it look much better. I replaced a few area of floors when I went through it. Used actual repro pans, not sheet metal, and fully welded as they should be. The entire underneath of the car was then blasted and painted with POR15. Frame is very nice. No bad spots, and nothing even close to being bad. Boxed rear lower control arms, and no hop bars in the rear. New suspension bushings throughout. Kyb shocks all around. Car does not have power steering or power brakes. I am open to trades of other classic cars and trucks as well. Please feel free to ask any and all questions you have. Please feel free to make offers, just be reasonable please. There is a ton of money wrapped up in this car. I do understand however that it is not perfect, and needs some things.
