Hi and welcome Mike. I would check the electronic garage on the main page. I believe all the manuals are there.

Hi Thanks for the warm welcome. The assembly manual was usually an assembly line only manual. I have never seen one for 65.

I checked the e-garage and no assembly manual.

I'd love to find one, I have seen an original 66 assembly manual.

Mike, I don't know of anyone with a 65 Assembly manual. I do have one for 66
Did I meet you at Jim Shiels Buick picnic last July? I had my red/black 66 Special.

Wow, small world Mike!
Were you able to contact the guy that Jimmy got his 66 manual from? Think he bought it at one of the Buick meets in Flint. Jimmy seems to know everybody!

Someone on V8 had contacted the Sloan Museum about assembly manuals. Word is that repos are a possibility.

My Silver 66 4spd project stalled. Decided to spend some time getting the red 66 together and make a nice driver.

I would be interested in a 65 Assembly manual when they become available 8)
