Replying to: bhill2 (Dec 01, 2009 1:21 pm) Here's another "400" for about the same price, but with a bit more visibility than a '65 Skylark: http://www.ferraris-online.com/pages/carintro.php?reqcardir=FE-412-64307 or how about a '65 Skylark CONVERTIBLE for the same money? http://www.specialtysales.com/1965-buick-skylark--c-2422.htm Replies to this message: andre1969 (Dec 02, 2009 6:49 pm) fintail (Dec 02, 2009 6:57 pm) lemko (Dec 03, 2009 11:40 am) fintail (Dec 03, 2009 1:18 pm) parm (Dec 02, 2009 8:11 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 03, 2009 9:18 am) parm (Dec 03, 2009 9:35 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 02, 2009 6:26 pm) That's not a Ferarri...that's a 1980 Malibu sport coupe with some kind of aftermarket kit on it. That Skylark seems like a nice little car. How would it perform though, with that little 300 V-8 and 2-speed automatic, though? I know you don't buy a car like this to drag race though...it's more about just riding around on a nice day and having fun and enjoying yourself.

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 02, 2009 6:49 pm) Those Ferraris make no sense to me, how they remained in production for so long. That design dates to ca. 1974, when the angular lines were avantgarde and cool. But it was a relic by 1986, especially for that brand. Must have been some money problems.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 02, 2009 6:26 pm) Let's see, a Ferrari vs. a Skylark? Well, since the cost of a tune up for a Ferrari would cost more than the GNP of some 3rd-world countries, I'll go with the Skylark. While the yellow convertible Skylark looks like a beauty, it doesn't have the larger motor of the GS which should carry some cache, no? Still, your point that the blue '65 Skylark GS coupe is overpriced is well-taken.

Replying to: parm (Dec 02, 2009 8:11 pm) I really don't think the size of a motor in a 60s Buick is even on most buyers' radar. It's the GS455 that the muscle car freaks really want---the Buick line in the 60s is for people who like to have a nice vintage ride---they aren't going street racing.

Replying to: parm (Dec 02, 2009 8:11 pm) Actually the Ferrari 412 is the Ferrari that nobody wants---that's why it's so cheap.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 03, 2009 9:18 am) Skylark GS Value Guide Picked this off of Hemmings. Thought it relevant to this discussion. Looks like around $12,000-$15,000 would be a fair price for a better than average '65 GS hardtop. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Dec 03, 2009 10:02 am)

Replying to: parm (Dec 03, 2009 9:35 am) That's a 2005 price guide but this car hasn't changed much in those 4 years.

Replying to: andre1969 (Dec 02, 2009 6:49 pm) Shoot! A 1980 Malibu Sport coupe DOES have the same roofline as that Ferrari! Replies to this message: fintail (Dec 03, 2009 1:18 pm)

Replying to: lemko (Dec 03, 2009 11:40 am) 1974 Ferrari 365 GT4 2+2 ...not a bad resemblance in that roofline.
