Vehicle description
This car is simply amazing. Talk about cruising the streets and getting heads to turn. Very rare and desirable. Unlike the more common Chevelle, the Skylark is the refined cousin that came standard with all the bells and whistles. But don’t let its refinement fool you. Under the hood is a powerful 340 v8 with 375 foot pounds of torque. That’s raw, badass, old-school American power at the back wheels. Want to bark the tires? No problem. When you sit at a stop light and rev the engine, the whole car responds anticipating you releasing the yokes we call brakes. She sports a new cross over exhaust which sounds like Angels crying tears of joy as the deep rumbling, throaty if you will, sound chases away rice burners. But you say, “It’s too much power! How can I drive such a specimen of American ingenuity?” Well, like I said before, this lady is refined. She sports factory air, power brakes, and power steering. The 2 Speed automatic transmission was sent off to Jasper for service (If you don’t know who or what Jasper is, this may not be the car for you) She was built to cruise the interstate at 80 MPH and does not blink an eye when you have to get around some Toyota Prius blocking the view. Let’s talk about the shape she’s in. It’s outstanding. This is a true garage kept car. No rust in the floor pans or trunk. No rust on the quarter panels. She’s straight and solid. Maintenance has been done professionally by ATC in Augusta GA. 82,188 miles on the ODO, but she’s a weekly driver so this is subject to go up. Additional Information: VIN Data The 06D means it was built the 4th week of June 1966, so it is a late in the model year build. It was built in the Baltimore, MD factory. The W2 means the original color was Silver Mist Metallic with a black vinyl top. New paint. Spectramaster red. Code RM311. Car painted in 2015 Original wheel size: 215/70 R14 I have 4 original hub caps I have the original spare tire and jack New wheel size: 215/65 R17 Wheels: Rocket Tire Condition: Excellent I bought this car in 2015 from a guy in North Carolina. He bought it from “a little old lady” in Virginia. He painted the car, swapped out the exhaust a new cross over exhaust, replaced the wheels, replaced the headliner, and the seat upholstery . Additional work that has been done: The 2 speed Power Guild transmission was professionally rebuilt by Jasper in 2015. New Starter New alternator New plugs, wires, and distributor cap New coil New power steering pump New hoses that could be sourced. New drums and pads The Good. Very clean and straight body. No body rust that I have found Mechanically, no issues. AC and heater work Wipers work The Bad. Few rust bumps under the vinyl top. Does not detract for the overall look of the car. Reason I am selling: Other projects I want to work on. This is a very clean strong running car that always gets attention. You will definitely stand out at the next car show.
