Default 1971 Buick Skylark Convertible - Schwartz G-Machine Chassis, LS3, etc

Well folks- it's Buick time. This 1971 Buick Skylark had been restored at some point, but the new owner didn't want to keep it stock any longer. So, he came to us in need of a modernization.

Here are the preliminary specs: Schwartz G-Machine Chassis, Moser full-floating 9", Truetrac diff, RideTech single-adjustable coilovers, rack & pinion, Brembo 6 piston calipers on 14/13.5" rotors, 520hp Schwartz-modified LS3 crate engine, GMPP 4L60E, and Forgeline DS3 wheels - stock wheel tubs.

The exterior will remain untouched, in it's current "plum metallic" state.

The interior will boast a Vintage Air Gen IV system, but otherwise stock. You can subscribe to this thread, or keep in touch with our website as it's updated weekly and/or as work progresses! -Dale

"Original" engine is removed, along with the trans, driveshaft, and exhaust system. We'll be smoothing the passenger side of the firewall & the Vintage Air kit will mount on the inside of the firewall.

The wheels arrived the other day, still awaiting Pirelli tires...

Forgeline DS3 in Graphite grey - 18x9 and 18x11. We're not minitubbing this one.
