I have found this 68 sitting in an old car grave yard about 1 year ago, The scrape yard is owned by distant family member's.  I have also found out that all the car's here are being sent off for scrape for there value in metal, which is such a shame!  I grew up in michigan where i had a family freind who was an avid Collector of the 70's Monte Carlo's and he had alway told me that it is better to restore them then destroy them, because once they are gone they are gone.  So when i heard about this old car grave yard i had to have a look around.  There where so many car's in there that have just been forgotten about in time.  Then i came acrossed this 68 Buick Skylark Custom, When i seen it it was almost love at first sight.  When i looked around it and seen it really had very little to next to no through rust and most of it is just light suface pit and all the part's where there, even the side skirt's for the rear tire's are in the car with next to no surface rust on them put a real nice smile on my face,  so here we are a year later and i just took the picture's.  Something i had to have before we reserect it from this resting place, yes the brush has been pulled back the car wasnt even close to this easy to see lol.  I will be sure to add more photo's and update's as i go. there will be more photo's of the car in this shape after i get it home. so come back and check for more and let me know what you think..

We all know more then likely there should be a 1 before the 0,

But the condition of the car make's me think there is no way it could be a 2.

Great find and looks like a good project. I live in Texas and we have a 69 Skylark, I need a grille for the front. Did you see any other Skylarks in the yard. Any year 68 or 69. Thanks....
