« on: July 20, 2012, 04:58:55 PM »
Hi all,

The 3 speed got itself into Muscle Car Review Rare Finds section August issue

Maybe the sadist looking 65 Buick Gran Sport to ever get into a magazine.

Got a call last night from Jonnesy who saw the article.

Can hardly believe the ran the article not to mention its the second Buick Rare Find article in a row (July had a
69 Stage 1 GS)

Regards
Jim

That's a great article (other than the repeated references to the 64 GTO and 442).   It is written like the really recognize the "specialness"of the 65 gran sport.  Nice job.

Had to be fate that I drove one of my cars to a local pharmacy to get some prescriptions filled. While waiting for them, I usually peruse the magazine rack. The pharmacist is an old Mopar guy and always has those magazines around.

First time I ever saw MCR on the rack and it had to be this issue.  :icon_biggrin: Of course I had to show it to him, plus tell him about both my cars.  :angel4: :occasion14:

Nice article!  :thumbsup:
