Unfortunately, no.

For some reason, '65 Skylark front bumpers are hard to come by. Even a decent core is tough.

I have a couple of front bumpers for the '65 Special model.  The difference is that the parking light opening is smaller then a Skylark's.

When done, you'd have a bumper that you had somewhere around 9-1000 bones invested.
I'm tempted though, that one looks pretty good.

I agree Mark.  There just isn't a lot of '65 Skylark front bumpers out there. And like when was the last time you saw an NOS one? lol
