Let’s get the trivia out of the way. The seller of this 1965 Buick Skylark on eBay in Midway, Utah, makes three claims, two of them bold: It was bought new by one of Brigham Young’s grandsons, it has 7,200 miles on it, and it has “quite good documentation.” Being a sedan will unfortunately (for the seller) limit this handsome Skylark’s sale price, but it will give someone an opportunity to buy a pretty nice Buick at a (perhaps) affordable price point; the seller is asking $15,000 or best offer to drive away in this Seafoam Green Metallic Skylark. Thanks to Curvette for the tip.

The interior looks completely stock, right down to the upholstery. Unfortunately, the driver’s seat is ripping along the seams and 1965 Skylark upholstery is not the easiest to procure (although SMS might have it). Is the torn seam a sign of 107,000 miles of wear, or has time simply made it fragile? Perhaps the seller’s documentation holds the answers. The back seat is mint.

As are the door panels. Anyone who’s owned a ’65 Skylark knows that the chromed plastic armrest trim is extremely fragile, and the door emblems are often crazed and cracked. Once again, many interior parts aren’t reproduced, so good originals would be your only recourse; in the case of this sedan, the interior seems exceptional aside from the driver’s seat.

The engine is the optional 300-cubic-inch Buick small-block. Don’t be confused by the “Wildcat 310” air cleaner sticker; the number “310” was the torque rating in lb.-ft. in the case of this Rochester two-barrel equipped 300. This Skylark is optioned like many of them, with power steering and non-boosted four-wheel-drum brakes. The transmission is the Super Turbine 300, a two-speed automatic with a “Switch-Pitch” torque converter. This is not, regardless of how many times you see it in print, a Powerglide, although the two aren’t entirely dissimilar.

The undercarriage appears to be in excellent condition, and the fact that original-looking “spiral” shocks are in place lends some credence to the mileage claim. Most of the chassis parts are shared with other GM A-Bodies, so mechanical parts availability is quite good.

Of course, one of the best styling touches of the ’65 Skylark is the “wall-to-wall” taillight display, which was featured in Buick advertising, and close up pictures show little of the pitting that is extremely common on these units today. In fact, the close-up pictures do indeed reveal what looks to be a very nice original car. If I were in the market, I’d ask the seller for documentary evidence of the mileage, but even if the odometer isn’t quite as it appears, this is a very nice example of a car anyone should be proud to own.
