First Wash In 30 Years: ABANDONED Barn Find Buick Skylark Disaster Detail! | Satisfying Restoration. Today, we tackle the interior & exterior of an ABANDONED Buick Skylark, that is covered in dirt and debris that hasn't been detailed in years that will require us to pressure wash the entire exterior, followed by a wash, clay bar and then polishing the paint to bring back its shine and a full interior detail including mold removal. We also found something CRAZY in the engine bay along with a ton of mouse nests!

Great job guys! I respect what you do for a living as I am a car detailer myself. That car is definitely work saving. I wouldn't do a full blown out restoration but definitely an engine rebuild.. go through the brakes and suspension.. new tires.. carpeting.. and fix the damaged front end.

[@micahdubas9454]

From my experience "worth" has everything to do with the individual. For me, that car is absolutely worth restoring. It's a piece of history and art that cannot be replaced. Thank you for saving it !

[@paulmccree4499]

I think that beauty should be restored. To see it up and running would be amazing.

[@kennethgoodrich5365]

This car is definitely a candidate for a rebuild, it all depends how much it’s worth to you how much you want to spend on it to bring it back, personally I would do it, just because I love the style of it and also this year and make was my first car and it brings back a lot of memories 😉👍

[@mt3311]

Without engine rebuild, put between $5,000 an $10, 000 , and get between $12,000 and $15,000. If the upholestry can be done for less than $1000, then maybe a basic engine rebuild to stock. The car needs paint and body work. That is where the bulk of the money would go.

[@tdrommond]

@@mt3311 that's the problem with old car. The ones that get restored and all the money spent on them are the ones young boys dream of owning as adults. There were very few of us dreaming of a Buick like grandma drove. If this were a GS, you'd have a car worth restoring.

[@kirdot2011]

practically speaking such cars can only be restored by people who have way too much time and money on their hands, but usually such people arent interested in doing that. Have you ever heard of Elon Musk or MrBeast restoring a car from this condition?

[@alanblanes2876]

The 1968 Buick Skylark is arguably the nicest of the 1968 GM intermediates. It's well worth a rebuild. In fact it would be great as an upgraded resto-mod. @@mt3311

[@curbozerboomer1773]

I owned a pretty 1968 Skylark, in the late 70s...with the robust 350V8, it was a fun car to drive...That was back when each GM division built their own engines!

[@michaelcesco2970]

I had a Buick Century, ( can't remember the year) , but I loved it. Broke my heart when the tyranny quit. I had to take the battery, tags and important papers so the tow truck couldn't bring it back and try to charge me for it. But I really missed it. I'm happy that they still make Buick and I would love to have a new one. My neighbor has one and I look at it every time I go out.

[@michaelcesco2970]

I've always been a GM man. My first was an Oldsmobile 88 , second , the Buick Century , and two Pontiacs , a Bonneville , and a Gran Prix , ( pronounced pree ). LOVED THEM ALL !

[@brickhead_07]

Oh man I‘m impressed how solid the trunk looks!

[@ralphreinhardt6020]

Full resto mod candidate in my book. You guys did a good job cleaning her up. 😎👍

[@markg.4246]

I grew up about 20 miles west of Flint, Michigan. I knew people who worked at Buick, and other businesses like AC Sparkplug, etc. Same thing in Lansing, MI which was the home of Oldsmobile. Sadly, both of those cities have suffered greatly from the lack of car production. Nice job on that Skylark, guys!

[@tdrommond]

In both cases, they cut their noses off to spite their faces. Union strikes, slowdowns, poor workmanships, and demands for higher and higher wages, all while union bosses got fat, bribed politicians and stole from the rank and file. The UAW has done more to hurt the US auto industry than anyone else through encouraged laziness and waste.

Amazing job, she is now ready for a restoration and hopefully she'll be back on the road soon. Not only did you clean her up, you also made it safer for the people who are going to work on her. P. S, that's a opposum, they are completely harmless and some people even keep them as pets. Unfortunately they have a really short lifespan of just 1-2 years so that little one probably made a nest and died from old age!

If the Floor pan isn't rusted out it might be worth saving. That's a lot of sheet metal work and hopefully the frame is still good. The front bumper is bent so needs replacing. If your pockets are deep enough it'll be a nice daily driver.
