For sale is a highly coveted and very beautiful 1953 Buick Roadmaster Skylark. One of only 1,690 made and much less in existence today, especially in “survivor” mode like this one. Most are restored to the point of being unaffordable, or are total basket cases. It is rare to see one like this - barely touched with one repaint in its life.
The drivetrain – The 322 V-8 cranks, but does not turn over. I did not try to mess with it further after putting new spark plug wires, distributor cap, condenser, carb clean, and a battery. I was told that the transmission needs to be rebuilt. In the trunk, you will find a torque converter and a flywheel.
Body – the body is razor straight with no dings or dents at all. There was a very small spot of rust (see photos) on the driver’s floorboard and on the wheelwell in the trunk. These were patched up. The body only needs minor prep work and paint to be perfect. Or leave it as is and do it patina style.
