According to the post, the 57-year-old American coupe is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, and its top speed is 218 km/h.
At the same time, the factory data found for the 1969 Buick Skylark Custom Sport Coupe do not confirm the 7.5-liter V8 as the standard engine for this model. For the Skylark of that year, smaller engines were listed, in particular a 5.7 L V8.
Therefore, the characteristics of the 7.5-liter engine given in the post may refer to a non-standard power unit of this particular car. The source does not specify the history of its installation.
