- 1972 Buick Skylark Junkyard Find. I took a risk. Decided to take a little 3 1/2 hour road trip in the 89 box Chevy to check out a junkyard out in Austin, Texas. Well let me tell you it did not disappoint. Not only was this 72 Buick Skylark out there with not much missing but there were also a handful of other rides out there worth a little screen time. I made a separate junkyard tour video if you want to check it out. But this one here was the one I was most interested in and luckily for me the only things that appeared to be gone were the headlight bezels, dash pad and a couple of emblems. It did have a couple of goodies as well like expensive Doug's headers. Unfortunately she would not relinquish them....well at least not me. Yes, she was just a 4 door but honestly there really was no justifiable reason for her to be scrapped. The interior just needed a really good cleaning. The exterior was nice just the way it was. Essentially this was a rust free car from what I could see. The engine compartment was only missing the radiator and the air conditioning condenser.

Two doors or four doors I love them all this car is too nice to be junked
I agree. Unfortunately its been stripped pretty good now from what I've heard on Facebook
Seeing these in the yards is a shame. That car as well as most of the others you have shown have serious hidden potential. I speak for myself as well as others who would be glad to have that car. Have a good day. Keep these uploads coming
I wouldve taken that car as well. It was too nice to be scrapped. Would be interesting to know why it was scrapped
My parents had a ‘72 Buick Skylark in this color. It’s the car that I took my driver’s test on back in 1972.
It's okay your fans are here for you we love your videos
You ain't let up on emm keep coming with it sir 💪
As long as that 🔥 🌞 dont kill me ima keep goin
@@ClassicRideSociety yes sir that heat is deadly stay cool and hydrated✌
@@ClassicRideSociety damn right 💪
Man that would make someone a fine project, nothing like these are found in your average junk yard in Australia and if there was it cost you an arm and a leg.
So Australian junkyard don't get anything old? Do you guys have classic car junkyards like we do over here? Ever see any of them Falcons like the v8 interceptor? I just love those movies. And im sorry but Mel should have reprised his role. Heck if Stallone can make another Rambo movie at his age as well as Schwarzenegger doing another terminator movie, no reason why Mel can't. Sorry for the rant. Mel is just perfect as mad Max
Unfortunately, most u pull it yards will not sell cars once they go in yard so this one will be crushed.
Enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for posting. These junkyards are a goldmine for car collectors. Keep these great videos coming!
As long as im able to I'll be in the yards looking for them 👍
I have 72 Buick GS unrestored no rust. Same year I was born... These cars are worth the and respect deserved and parts cross all A models... So good luck. Have fun.
Man great videos
Appreciate it. You heading to pick n pull in the morning?
Classic Ride Society yes sir
This one needs to be saved!
Unfortunately its been stripped pretty good now
2 door or 4 door... Awesome condition. Just kinda wacky with headers and a 2 bbl and the snorkel air filter housing. This one has to be worth saving for the good sheet metal lip around the trunk.
They've stripped it pretty good now from what ive heard on Facebook
@@ClassicRideSociety Animals! I tell ya friggin vultures
Hay Benny what's up? Let me quess that buick is a more door. Still rocks in my book.
THANKS BENNY -- IT LOOKS LIKE THIS OLD BUICK HAS GOOD PARTS STILL, BUT THE INSIDE...PEACE STAY COOOL.
In my younger years I would of preferred a 2 door. But now grown with family I rather have the 4 door. Could cruise it with my kids in the back. Lol
Id drive that more door as well. And you're right, back in the day I wouldn't even look a 4door A body.
Best way to travel
Even though this one has been stripped pretty good, that is not necessarily a bad thing. With some talented body and fabrication work this can be turned into a 2 door
Restomod. We have done this to a couple of 4 door model cars.
I would make it a sleeper, And tint the windows. Leave it just like that !!!
I totally agree
That’s a great find
Good car
Man Iwish I could go to that yard and buy it. and Iwould but Imin New Zealand. Dammit. Keep the vids coming bro they are all cool as.
Cool Buick 😀
That’s a cool ride I like it
Didn’t see much wrong with it the mould isn’t an issue if you where to do it up.
It’s still a dam shame
Yep it didnt deserve it after surviving all this time
That's were these cars belong man n the junkyard hell yeah I no some friends who would be on the next flight to get that nice video keep it comming
I see a 4 doors as a muscle car for the whole family. The best thing that could be done is to rebuilt the engine to a
1970 GS specs
Last year for midsize skylark..
no w sumie.
I hate that the skylark went to that not so good looking xbody platform in the mid 70s. I know some people love that xbody platform but after 74 they're not for me
I’ve got the convertible version of this sweetie, same colour with a white top, Buick rally rims and the front discs. The grill on this one looks totally different than any ‘72 I’ve seen before, that kinda looks like a ‘71 grill. Mine has a cast metal grill with no horizontal bars, I think all the ‘72 Larks I’ve seen had the same. Maybe they had two different grill options that year? It was the big strike year for GM, that’s the only reason we got one more year of these beauties before they changed body styles (‘72 was supposed to be the new bodies they introduced in ‘73).
Probably Doug Thorley headers. We had a `71 2 door, same color (Burnt Orange) and 350 2 bbl
Way to nice to junk...
Tires also look nice lol....
These were common as Camrys are today.
A little before my time. Would have loved to see it though. Camerys....not so much😄
Ive had several skylarks and nearly all of them had more rust than this one. Way to go on the yard supporting the rear of the car on the GAS TANK lol
I cant believe the front bumper is actually straight.
Such a shame that people scrap cars like this in such good shape. Probably could've sold it as is for $1,500- $2,000 easily.
Easily could have sold for way more than the yard paid
I don't like 4 door cars but this buick is not bad can be restored
I need that grille off of that frfr
Its long gone. The yard crushed that car a good while back
I'm willing to bet that car hasn't been there very long there's a lot of good parts left on it .
Probably a flood car. There is one thing about this car that is special and that is the engine. That is a first generation 350 and is a four bolt main engine. These are probably the best 350 engines to hot rod and build. You can really make some power out of these engines easily with just a few doo dads. The headers look like older Hookers but I don't think they are.
Glad I watched the video I was gonna drive her home this weekend she would have been a handful with no lugnuts😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wouldn't have gone too far😄
lets get it straight; its harbor sheit
Hope you brought plenty of water with you, Texas and heat ain't a joke!!! Last thing your fans want is for you to faint from excess heat. Drink up man! ^^ Also, score on the Doug headers, vanity mirror, and the dealer tag. This thing shouldn't even be here, look how there no rust everywhere!!! This honestly could've made someone's day if they got it instead. 1972 is a desirable year for Skylarks
I learned that day that Buick header are not an easy item to remove. The car refused to relinquish the headers.
@@ClassicRideSociety Oof! And the hundred degree scorcher wasn't helping!
Another western (Z=Freemont code) car that may have spent time in CA/AZ/UT/NV before it made its way to Texas.
Yup, Fremont, CA assembly which would have been the GMAD plant for that part of the country. Here in NYC, we would likely have had an "H" (instead of the Z) denoting "Buick City" or Detroit, MI, the "home plant" for these.
Hay

Kool
👍
Supernatural got me into 4 doors once I saw that '67 Impala I wanted it lol and I know you probably dont like them but can you do some videos on B bodies like the Roadmaster sedan next to it
I actually always stop and check out the 91-96 b bodys. Didnt figure there would be much interest im them. But i just got a couple of them in a video i just made, including a 96 9c1 cop car
Roof skin replaced
Ii need the windsield & back bumper/
Unfortunately they crushed that car a while back
I don’t know if you guys out there actually use rust preventative but try putting wd in the bottoms of doors and around those channels! It gets a bit dirty but never rusty! Take it from someone who lives in all weather climate! Try it
Good tip👌
Oh no not another more door !!!
That seems to be the majority of what I find in the yards around here
@@ClassicRideSociety Dude Ur killing it Man - Love ur Vids !
bro i seen this car today when i went to the yard and it looks nothing like this now lol #videocoming soon
I posted it on some Facebook groups and was told that its been stripped pretty good. Looking forward to the vid. Bet it was 🔥 hot as hell out there
holy hell i have a 72 that i bought when i was 14 and live in austin what junk yard is that???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrench a part
@@ClassicRideSociety thank you so much she will relinquish those headers to me
Putting headers on a car with a 2 barrel carb is not promising.
WHYis this at the wreckers ??? should be at my house being scrubbed up fixed up and loved again. What a waste of a perfecly cool as car. Shameful.
