Description
The car was sold new in Sweden in 1970 and has since had seven registered owners. The current owner has had it for 20 years. During that time, he has continuously improved and invested in the car—without any intention of ever selling it. It has been used during the summers for both car meets and caravan holidays.
According to the data plate, the original color was green, and it was also delivered with a green vinyl roof and white interior. The owner chose to make some aesthetic changes to the color scheme during the restoration.
The odometer shows approximately 140,000 km, although this cannot be guaranteed. The most recent inspection was carried out in 2022, and under classic vehicle regulations, the car is now exempt from periodic inspections.
According to Car.info, only a handful of 1970 Buick Skylark Custom Sport Coupes are currently registered in Sweden. The car comes with the owner’s manual and other literature, as well as a spare wheel located in the trunk. During repainting, the model badges were removed and are included separately. The original steering wheel has also been preserved (see images).
This is a remote auction. The images and information regarding the car and its technical condition have been provided by the owner. BWA has not inspected the car in person.

Buick 350 V8 engine (5.7 liters) equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, paired with a TH350 automatic transmission. The engine output is rated at 285 hp. Equipped with a limited-slip differential.
-
Interior condition
Most of the interior was refurbished ????? 10 years ago. New door panels, new seat upholstery, refurbished dashboard padding, etc. The carpet is older and shows signs of wear. The headliner is original and in good condition. Gauges and electrical functions are without remark.
Modern front seat belts have been installed, while the rear retains the original fixed belts. The trunk floor looks a bit worn—see the owner’s comment. The engine bay is very clean, and a painted aluminum panel has been fitted to the firewall for a cleaner appearance. -
Exterior condition
Fully repainted in 2023, with all removable body panels painted separately. A new vinyl roof was installed in 2008. New windshield fitted in 2022. Equipped with period-style 15-inch aftermarket wheels.
The bumpers are in good driver condition, with some minor pitting in the chrome. The grille has been painted in satin black. The frame and underside of the body have been carefully treated with underbody sealant (Tectyl), and all cavities have been rust-proofed. -
General condition
Very good driver condition. Fully road-ready and also equipped with a tow hitch for convenient trailer use.

Owner's comment
I have owned the car for 20 years and have continuously invested in it during my ownership. The engine has been fully rebuilt, including a new starter motor and alternator. The entire front suspension has been refurbished, including the brakes with a new master cylinder, and a rebuild kit for the rear brakes is included.
The tow hitch is detachable with three bolts and approved for 1,500 kg. I have towed a caravan with the car during holidays, with no loss of power on inclines. In short, I have invested in the car to make it both reliable and presentable.
The sheet metal floor in the trunk appears a bit rough, but this is due to multiple layers of paint rather than rust. In hindsight, I would have stripped it to bare metal and repainted it along with the rest of the body. Selling the car was never part of the plan, but as time goes on, priorities change.
