I bought back my old 67 GS numbers matching 400-4 speed car. I also bought a 67 Skylark off the original owner out of California. I was going to use the Skylark to clone my GS as the body is very bad. The only problem is a friend of mine told me it would almost be a shame to bone out the Skylark. I think I agree. This little Skylark has 118000 miles on it but it looks like nobody has ever sat in the back seat of it. It runs and drives like the day it was new. Everything on it works. It has tilt wheel, factory air, speed minder even the Ca. smog pump is still there and working. The vinyl top split but the car would also need painted. There is zero rust on the car as it came from Ca. I am torn because the Skylark is so nice of a car to dismantle. I dont know what it would be worth if I just painted it and put on the fender skirts and sold it. Maybe that would give me enought to restore all the floors and panels on my GS. I also have a 66 convertible that I can use the box frame out of. Other than the frame it is also pretty bad. Buick only made 2080 4 speed Gs's in 67 and as I said I have a engine,trans,body tag numbers matching car. I just had the 400 completely professionally overhauled. I'm sure someday I would sell the GS but plan on driving it for a few years. I know it would be be more valuable as a numbers matching car but how much more valuable? Any thoughts or similar circumstances with you guys? Thanks for any input.
