Cruisin Classics is pleased to offer to you this 1969 Buick Skylark convertible. If you're looking for an affordable drop-top classic, you'll want to check this one out! The trim tag on this car tells us that it was originally a Cameo Cream (pale yellow) car, but it comes to us today wearing a respray in a very bright yellow. The yellow paint is certainly eye-catching, but a close inspection finds the paint job to be average driver-quality overall. Up front, a chrome hood spine flows from the windshield to the forward lip where block letters spell out ""BUICK"". A two-tier black grille with bright surround is flanked by dual side-by-side round headlights. The brightwork on the grille exhibits some pitting and the fitment is a little off where the hood meets the top of the grille. Below is a chrome front bumper with a nice shine. Unfortunately, the bumper appears to be a replacement and it is bent. It is on the car securely, but it does not fit well under the right side of the grille and headlight bezel. It's something that you may not notice at first glance, but we pride ourselves on being honest about our cars. Moving around to the side of the car, that classic Skylark styling really comes into view. This Buick is dressed up with quite a bit of chrome, including windshield and window trim, side mirror, door handles, belt molding, wheel lip molding, rocker molding, and faux fender vents. Up top is a very nice, working. power-operated black convertible top with a clear rear window. The side view is finished off with a set of chrome Superior 5-spoke wheels wrapped in Kumho Solus tires (new in 2021). At the rear of the car you'll find the iconic concave rear bumper, ""Buick"" and ""Skylark Custom"" decklid badges, a hidden gas fill behind the license plate, and dual exhaust tips hiding underneath.
Under the hood is a driver-quality black engine bay that is home to a rebuilt 5.7 litre GM 350 V-8 (dated 1968-69) purchased from S&J Engines in 2024 ($3,437) and dressed in ""Olds Gold"" paint. The engine is topped off with black valve covers and intake, a 2-barrel carburetor, and a black air cleaner. Mated up to the V-8 is a 3-speed TH350 automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels through a 10-bolt rear axle. At the front of the engine is a newer water pump and an aluminum radiator with dual electric puller fans. Other highlights include power steering, power 4-wheel drum brakes with a dual reservoir, and cast exhaust manifolds.
Swing open the drivers door to reveal an all-black interior. The door panels appear to be original and they're showing a little age – loose armrest on the drivers side, no knob on the passenger window crank, and carpeted section is worn on the passenger side. Both the front and rear bench seats are covered in black vinyl and the front seat offers seat belts. The front seat is in good condition, but the rear seat has a seam split that has been taped over. Underfoot is newer black hook & loop carpet in very good condition. Ahead of the driver is an original-looking black two spoke steering wheel on a fixed column (horn inop.) with a column shifter. Beyond the wheel is a black vinyl dash that has a split crack in the center. The dash is home to a working speedometer, a fuel gauge, and warning lights for oil, temp, and gen. Also on the dash are switches for the lights and working 2-speed wipers as well as an added aftermarket cruise control system (lights up, but we haven't tested it). There are controls for the heat and fan, but neither works. A Pioneer AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo replaces the original radio and it plays through Kicker speakers in the front kick panels, rear side panels, and a subwoofer in the trunk. The system is powered by two amplifiers – a Kicker CXA300.4 and a Triton EI 1000.1 – both mounted in the trunk. Beneath the stereo there is a hole in the dash where the ashtray belongs. There is an ashtray in the trunk, but it does not fit the track in the dash. Mounted under the dash are a trio of Autogage gauges for oil, volts (inop.), and water, as well as a control knob for the subwoofer in the trunk. There is an accessory switch on the dash that operates the power convertible top, and it works just as it should. When the top goes down, there is a black vinyl boot cover behind the rear seat to cover it. Ahead of the front passenger is a glovebox that contains an owners manual. Back in the trunk are two shop manuals for the car, an old side mirror, an ashtray, the original radio, and the aforementioned stereo components.
If you're looking for a classic convertible that you can hop in and drive to a car show today without breaking the bank– check this Skylark out! It fires right up, runs and drives well, and it has an awesome stereo and a working power top in very good condition! Give our friendly staff a call today before someone else beats you to it!

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.

Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing.

All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
