    I had one when I was 17 and had to let it go a few years later. I still remember that car with fond memories. If l ever came across one that was in great shape I would seriously think about getting it. Fantastic car!

    My Dad bought a 1969 Skylark like this one brand new. It had a vinyl roof, 350 4 barrel and a automatic transmission. He used it to tow a trailer to transport building materials for a house he was building at the beach. He got a lot of use out of that car and traded it in on a Plymouth station wagon in 1978.

      @@IfThisCarCouldTalk I remember sitting in his lap when I was six and driving that Skylark over the bridge from Southport to Oak Island. My Mom was in the floor yelling " Morris I can't believe you're letting him drive over this bridge". My Dad was just laughing. That was back in 1975. A totally different world back then. I miss my Dad and the way life was. Thanks for the video.

    🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 What a sweet ride!!! I really miss the one I had. Am VERY happy for the current owner, take good care of her, she's special. One of the fondest memories in my life is: Back in the day when all of the truly GREAT cars were new.... ALL of them were on the raod, all at the same time, every day all day! Now they are exceptionally "rare" except during car shows etc. All that's on the road now, every day, all day is fkn GARBAGE crap cars.

    I love 1969. My dad bought a new 1969 GS 400. Now mine. Its original, only 25000 miles on it. Runs great! My oldest son gets it after me. Love the car.
