Overview of 1971 Buick Skylark GS 455 For Sale by Owner

Named after the soaring, graceful bird, Buick’s Skylark has become something of a cult classic for those who crave a classic car with a difference. Traditionally, the Skylark represented mainstream motoring with some luxury appointments, something that Buick continues to this day with their current offerings. Today’s 1971 Buick Skylark GS 455 is a third-generation example of this glorious nameplate, and currently resides in Woburn, Massachusetts. It’s done 114,785 miles and comes with a replaced performance distributor as well. Yes, this is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, so to speak. Grab it because it will make you happy with every drive, and it’s a decent asset for the future as well.

Exterior and Interior

With its chromed bumpers, quad headlamps and typical Sixties styling, this red 1971 Buick Skylark GS 455 is a treat for everyone to behold. Long, low, and sporting substantial overhangs, it embodies everything about Sixties American motoring, when cars rumbled along the roads and ‘compact’ wasn’t yet a mainstream term. Indeed, two-door variants like this car got a 112-inch wheelbase, and measured in at nearly 202 inches bumper to bumper. This car also comes with white-lettered tires on period wheels, a rear spoiler, chrome window beading and even chrome wheel arch accents. The white interior of this 1971 Buick Skylark GS 455 is easily accessed via the frameless doors, and once you’re inside, you’ve got two individual low-back seats up front, plus a broad bench directly behind. There’s some wood trim on the dash and in the center console, and the interior appears to be suitably stock. The original Sonomatic push-button radio is present, as is the car’s climate control system. The trunk is equally neat and tidy, with the spare wheel placed within its fitted cover.

Engine

Packing a mega 455ci V8, this 1971 Buick Skylark GS 455 isn’t what you’d call slow. It can call upon a factory claimed 350hp and 510lb-ft of torque! Power goes to the rear wheels through a TH400 3-speed automatic gearbox. The engine uses an interesting FiTech fuel-injected carburetor, and we’re told that there’s a replaced performance distributor, intake manifold, spark plugs and chrome valve covers too.
