Behold a rare 1972 Buick Skylark "Sun Coupe"! It has matching numbers on the engine and chassis, and is in what appears to be near original condition! GM reported that there were only about 3,500 Sun Coupes made and they only made for ONE YEAR, 1972. However, research among some well-versed Buick restorers and specialists has concluded that the Sun Coupe's production numbers fell somewhere between 1,600 and 1,800 units! Recently it was discovered as a "Barn Find". For a half-century car in original condition, it is pretty nice inside and out. The owner wanted to take the already solid body rust free body and just refresh the paint so it would show the original color. As you can tell in the photos with only a few minor spots that show its age. It has never been restored so what you see is only the result of aging over the years. NOTE: This Skylark Sun Coupe has not been fully restored. It has survived the bone yard, and is ready to be driven as is, or reborn as a FULL RESTORATION! We have had a few restoration quotes for the combined mechanical and body restore for around $20K-$25K. If you wish, we can negotiate a post auction contract to do the restore for winning bidder. A fully restored "matching numbers" Skylark Sun Coupe range between $40,000-$60,000 depending on level of restoration. Be sure to see the video below! If you have bass, turn it up! It sounds awesome!

Mechanical Description

This Skylark Sun Coupe starts right up from stone cold, and runs and drives! The odometer shows 78,374 miles. Although it is exempt and cannot be verified from thorough records, from the condition of the engine, the interior, as well as the exterior, this would indicate the milage is original and not turned over. Regardless, this car is in a great condition to be restored with its original motor. The 350 4 barrel V8 engine starts and purrs. It accelerates quite surprisingly, and really moves. Brakes are even tight, no pulling. The lights all work and the power steering is buttery smooth.

As you will see from the undercarriage, there is no rot or cancer. The metal is 100% solid and will only need to be media blasted and resealed. This is something we can do for the purchaser if desired, and we have included sample photos of what the media blasting process looks like below. (Call/Text 801-839-4224 For Details).

Everything else appears to work nicely. As this car deserves a personal touch, please call us for any questions regarding this rare gem. 801-839-4224

Exterior Description

The exterior of this Sun Coupe is pretty much ready for a clean restore. It has a couple uneven areas that shows it's age in a few spots.

There is no major rot or structural problems with the body. It is all 100% GM steel and will only need minor bodywork to make it straight as an arrow. As this car deserves a personal touch, please call us for any questions regarding this rare gem. 801-839-4224

Interior Description

The inside has had new upholstery and carpet. The dash is original and can be restored with minor effort. The seats are original with new upholstery. As this car deserves a personal touch, please call us for any questions regarding this rare gem. 801-839-4224
