bamainhtown,
Welcome, glad to have you aboard. Since I'm currently "the keeper" of the '65 GS Registry Archives, I tried to find out if your GS was ever previously registered. There are three other GSs in the Archival Registry from Sweden. However, they were all hardtops. Unfortunately, the Archival records did not include the VIN and contain mostly outdated owner info. I did find three entries with photos of Astro Blue convertibles with white interiors, one dating back to 1979. If you know the names of all the previous owners, that might be the only way to make a connection to your GS. To maintain confidentiality of all Registry members, and if you'd like, send me a private message and I'll see if I can find a match. BTW, I do hope that you'd include your GS convertible in the Registry. Thanks.
I find it interesting that on your car's invoice, they called the softray tinted glass "Easy Eye Glass". You're lucky to have all the paperwork with your GS and its complete history. Only four owners in the last 47 years. And to bring it back to the States again says a lot about the owner's passion for your convertible. It is a great color combo indeed, and it looks very well cared for over the years. It would appear that your ralley wheels are original as they have the gray inserts. You might want to consider keeping them as is. It's impossible to exactly match that color of gray. I've tried every available gray paint on the market and nothing comes close. That's why I decided that it's best to keep mine as is for posterity.
Again, glad to have you aboard.
John Egel
