     Hi Mike
  Nice to see the project started, and from the photos that you posted this GS is being restored to better than new condition. I tried to buy that GS when it was in Speedway Automotive in Arizona back in 1989 but the owner said it was not for sale ! I may still have the photos of it sitting next to a pile of other Buicks, If I do I will send it to You.
   I looked at the list of parts that you need and yes I can help with the project, this is what I have...
   
        65 Dated LR engine and air cleaner.
       Posi rear.
       Front & Rear bumper.
       Grille.
       Radio & speeker bezel.
       Tailights.
       Wheelwell mouldings.
       and many other parts, if you can send me a list I can go thru my parts and check off what I can donate.
   Sorry I do not have any NOS parts, just used stuff from many years of parting out Specials & Skylarks.. so keep posting those restoration photos, they look great !!
