Buick built muscle cars from the early 1960's until the early 1970's. These great Skylark cars were usually built with very thin, plastic steering wheels. The plastic in these wheels had a tendency to crack. These thin plastic Buick steering wheels were, and still are, uncomfortable to drive and don't allow for good control of the steering wheel.

A wheelskins is an effective and inexpensive way to improve the look, feel, and driving control of your Buick muscle car.

Skylark Gran Sport

The 1965 Skylark Gran Sport was the intermediate Buick Skylark with the Gran Sport option added. Although a 300 cubic inch engine V8 was already offered in the Skylark, the Gran Sport had the largest engine permitted by GM - a 400 in³ Buick V8. This engine was actually 401 in³ but called a "400" by Buick because that was the maximum engine size limit set by General Motors for the intermediate body cars. This engine produced 325 hp that same year along with a new "400" engine quite different from the notoriously reliable but growingly obsolete nailhead engine design that was first introduced in 1953. Sales fell somewhat in the face of increasingly more hot and popular muscle cars  from other marques when compared to those from the more stodgy and expensive Buick.  Buick, however stepped it up a notch when introducing the Stage 1 option in 1969. This limited (less than 1,500 cars in 1969) version produced 360 hp.

Gran Sport 455

The 400 was replaced for 1970 with the 455 in³ Buick V8, used in the GS 455. The base model V8 produced 350 hp at 2600 rpm. In the optional Stage1 trim it produced an underrated 360 hp at a low 2800 RPMs. The real number was more accurately 415 hp (309 kW) to 425 hp due to the Stage 1 engine using a more aggressive cam and the standard heads were machined for larger valves to produce more power. The Stage 1 option, when paired with an automatic, included a firmer shifting Turbohydromatic 400, and a standard 3.42:1 posi-traction rear differential. A 3.64:1 rear ratio was standard when delivered with a Stage 1 and manual transmission with optional gears available to at least a 4.33:1 ratio.
