Cars I've Owned
1977 Buick Skylark (1999)

I bought this car for $75 from a guy at work.

The car belonged to his father-in-law and was just sitting in his yard. The car was in rough shape, and far from being able to get a Safety on. I mainly bought this car to use as a learning-tool. so I began to strip it down and learn how things where put together and how they were fastened. So Glenn and I went over there and I drove the car back to Glenn's place.

I then began the task of slowly disassembling and pulling it apart the car. This was the first car that I ever pulled an engine & tranny out of. Had no clue what I was doing, but I learnt. Took just over 7 hours to pull out the engine and tranny. I then sold the motor and tranny to a friend for $50. So for $25, I learnt a good deal while pulling this car apart.

I kept alot of other parts from this car that I could use on the nova. Infact, the fan shroud on the nova is from this car.
