Buick Skylark (GSX Restomod Clone)

This is basically a Brand New car top to bottom and Totally Rust Free!
We've combined modern technology wrapped in a 1970 GSX theme.
Weighing only 3380 pounds and making nearly 600 HP this car is a blast to drive.
It's obviously not a real GSX but no expense was spared in an attempt to recreate the real deal with a small dose of Modern Technology to make this a modern day Supercar!
Only 2,600 miles have been recorded since its restoration so this car is like brand new yet.
Its never been driven in the rain and is stored in a climate controlled shop.
The ENTIRE car is showroom clean and would be at home on the street, strip or car show.
There will be website links posted to provide plenty of documentaion that this is a top notch restoration. (These are located at the bottom of this post)
