This is a genuine, unmolested California black-plate car with only 55,991 original, actual miles. This car spent the majority of its life in Long Beach, CA. In the world of 1960s GM A-bodies, finding a documented, rust-free survivor of this caliber is nearly impossible. "They are only original once," and this Buick is a definitive benchmark for preservation. There were estimated less than 1,000 Black with black interior Skylark's made in 1968. Cars of this condition and spec have only been produced and remain like this in just a handful of cases ...--------------------Documentation and Provenance: This Skylark retains its complete, original factory documentation—a collector's dream. The sale includes:✅ The Original Protect-O-Plate warranty card (verifying matching numbers)✅ Original dealer delivery envelope✅ Original owner’s manual✅ Original vintage California Black Plates--------------------Exterior and Body: Spending its life in the dry California climate, the body is immaculately rust-free. The sheet metal is untouched by the rot that typically plagues A-bodies of this era. Most notably, the trunk is an absolute time capsule. It is the driest, most perfect original trunk pan you will ever see on a 60s or 70s classic, completely retaining its original spare tire and factory jack setup. Still retains 3 of its original T3 headlights and original dated spark plug wires. Some typical light scratches and slight garage door dings. Some paint corrections have been made over the years.
In 1968, standard black paint (Buick's "Regal Black," Code A) was actually one of the lowest-selling colors across the entire industry. Buyers were heavily favoring earth tones, greens, golds (like Ivory Gold Mist), and blues. Statistically, standard black paint usually accounted for only about 3% of a model's total production. (RARE)--------------------Interior: The "Custom" trim level provides a premium cabin, and this one remains in mint, factory-original condition. The black upholstery, door panels, original carpet, and even the original floor mats are flawlessly preserved. The factory air conditioning is fully intact, making this an incredibly comfortable, luxurious cruiser. This is the nicest interior classic car I have ever witnessed.--------------------Drivetrain and Mechanicals: Under the hood sits the original 1968-exclusive 350ci 4-barrel V8 engine, known for its massive low-end torque. It is mated to the factory-original Super Turbine 300 (ST300) transmission. The drivetrain has never been swapped, chopped, or modified. It runs, drives, and floats down the highway much as it did when it rolled off the showroom floor over five decades ago. The AC system is intact and setup with R12 and has not been converted. I am leaving that up to the new owner.--------------------Summary: You will be hard-pressed to find another 1968 Skylark Custom Coupe in this rare color combination, with this level of bulletproof documentation, and in such pristine, untouched survivor condition. It is a blue-chip preservation piece ready for a serious collector. This is definitely a museum quality piece.
I have decided to sell this amazing highway cruiser out of my collection because of needed garage space and I just finished restoring an Impala that will be parked in its place. I simply have too many cars. Someone is going to LOVE this !--------------------Price: $29,500--------------------Call or Text Patrick @ 9️⃣1️⃣3️⃣.6️⃣8️⃣9️⃣.0️⃣4️⃣4️⃣7️⃣ with questions or to discuss ...
