Hello from Houston. Newbie to car/truck restoration (41 yrs old) as I purcahsed a 68 F250 CS (Camper Special) in Sept 2011. Truck is not even close to being complete but I guess I have caught the bug, much to my wife's chagrin. Was viewing the KC Mecum auction and briefly saw a 65GS (I think) and I was hooked. I looked on the Mecum website but all I saw listed was a 66 GS but no pictures. After some research, I knew a 65GS was the next car for me. Never owned a Buick but was driven to high school in a neighbor girl's 85/86 Skylark. Far cry, we won't go there, right ? Anyways, you never know what will happen next and I may find myself working on two cars at once. I like them all, the pillars, the hardtops and the verts. I will continue to read and learn the intracacies and appreciate the great info posted on this board. I know the pain, the fun, and the cost of restoring a "classic" so I am torn between restoring a 65GS and possibly purchasing a restored 65GS. Time will tell.
Any board members in the Houston area ? Most seem to be in the midwest. Would love to meet someone close by.
One other question, what is the difference between a special and a regular Skylark?
Thanks again for a great website/forum and look forward to learing a lot.
