BEWARE BUICK 1968 SKYLARK FUNNY CAR

[M W Elky]

It’s time to pull another one off of the obscure unfinished shelf of funny car projects. It’s still in the early stages as the early version of this car had a fuel burring Buick motor from the previous year’s 67 skylark THE SUPER BIRD . The latter version used a 392 HEMI which I already have . Ah choices.

Looks like you are off to a good start!

Yes I came across it on eBay it must have been six years ago . I have no idea who the maker was it was definitely made to be this funny car as it looks narrower and it has a slightly stretched wheel base than a stock body would have . I’ve only ever seen one other come up for sale. Maybe someone on this form would know who made it and possibly where to get one . I’m using the bantam blast as my donor kit . This one has been on my bench for years. I would really like to use a Buick engine, but I just don’t have one . There’s just not a lot of Buick kits from that era . I would think it would make good business sense for round 2 to clone the 66 skylark kit
