#I LIKE my parts but in an effort to restore peace in my abode, I thought I would create this web page to show them that I am making a real effort to dispose of some of my automotive components. #I do have a few things that I had no planned purpose for when I acquired them but I thought I needed to posses them for some unknown reason. So If You Want Automobile Parts I Might Have The Very Thing You Are LOOKING For! but them again I might not. We will never know unless you contact me. At least I can show my wife that I made a genuine effort to reduce the extensive inventory of automotive spares I have built up over the years! | #I LIKE my parts but in an effort to restore peace in my abode, I thought I would create this web page to show them that I am making a real effort to dispose of some of my automotive components. #I do have a few things that I had no planned purpose for when I acquired them but I thought I needed to posses them for some unknown reason.

#This weekend I went to an auction and bought a 1984 Buick Skylark Limited. The 2.8 V6 ran great all the way home. It even has a brand new battery in it. The next day I took the Skylark for a drive and 20 miles away from home it stopped moving. The V6 was humming away but I just was not going anywhere! I shut the Buick off and sat there for awhile. When I started the Skylark back up and put it in drive it moved! Down the road it went but only for a half mile then it rolled to a stop again. I finally made it to the next town by repeating this procedure several times. I called Mom to come and take me home. I drove Old Green II with a trailer hitched behind me back to that town to retrieve my ailing Skylark Limited. #Once I trailered it home I changed the tranny fluid and filter. I have driven the Skylark over 300 miles since without a problem. It even gets great gas milage! | #This weekend I went to an auction and bought a 1984 Buick Skylark Limited.

#Well the Skylark is dead! After putting well over 10,000 miles on the little Buick the tranny has began to slip a little. I have parked it for good. | #Well the Skylark is dead!

#I have sold the Skylark to a lifelong friend. He has a blazer with a 2.8 in it and decided to buy the little Buick for the V-6. So far he has had a good time pulling wagons around his farm with it. | #I have sold the Skylark to a lifelong friend.
