Restored Weber 1200 Skyline for sale


 
One of the photos in the add is not a skyline....hahaha In fact it is a Silver B. I don't think the Skylines were made except for a couple years in the later 90's.

It is kind of funny though that the Silver B photo has the igniter button missing just like on the Skyline. haha

Interesting, seems to be a pattern developing there. I did come across an ad for a Skyline last year that had a serial # from 2000. I thought that was pretty unusual though. Most of the ones I have seen were made between 97 and 99.
 
I have a DD date code Silver B and have had it since new.

I wonder if weber had a special run of skyline 1200s also with DD date code to use up x000 inventory of parts in the same time frame as the silver B was being introduced.
 
Frankengrill?
I fear there is an aroma emanating from this one and it’s not BAD just slightly “off” also, I would say cleaned up, not restored.
just my skeptical nature.

Yeah, good thought. That would be my guess as well. I can't see them making new 1000 parts while ramping up a completely new grill design. To that point, I have seen a few Skyline grills with the tank scale from a Silver B that looked the same age as the grill, not added later. That's not definitive proof of anything, just a semi educated guess. The pictures of the DD code Skyline I saw matched up with my guess.

I probably wouldn't say it's a Frankengrill, it appears to have all the correct parts except the igniter switch. You could definitely question the level of the restoration that was done.
 
Richard, I apologize for forgetting you gave the igniter switch to a buddy to try and make a 3D printed copy of it.
 
The original post had a picture of my silver b. I removed it from the post. Yes the ignitor button is not yet in place but I should get that tomorrow. I will see if I can get the date code off it and see if that matches up and actually get a date of manufacture.
