Yeah, gotta love that 'Matching numbers Borg-Warner T10 4-speed'.  Had a steering wheel with no cracks though.  Will be interested in seeing what the red post car brings. Check back tomorrow.

...glad that a 65GS finally brought some decent money...
...I'm glad it got that to that level as well...

Nooo!  I don't have mine yet. Serves me right.  Should act faster.

I think the post'll go higher still.

The red post car - frame off, auto, dual quads - just crossed the block. Same result as yesterday. Sold for $34,100 including the buyers 10% premium. Nice results.

It's good to see the value on our Buicks catching up to the Chevys, Fords and Mopars. Those two GSs looked very nice and speak well for the '65s. Does this mean that I should also put dual quads on my silver convertible. Engine eye candy!

Wow!! Nice numbers indeed for those cars. I'm more partial to the Bamboo Cream one though....

If you can afford the convertible, you can afford the dual quad setup.

You make a good point, you know we could just swap cars, then you would have a Red set of "his" and "hers".

I bought the white hardtop on the premise that it was "hers". Although she's liking how the silver convertible is slowly coming together, that may be her new car.  Sorry, you have to convince her first to a trade. Are you looking to buying a hardtop? Two '65 GSs is twice the fun!

Whats with the door panels on that one ? Is that a "base" coupe interior ?

DL

DL,

Thin Pillar Coupes, aka post cars, use the interior pieces from the Special instead of the Skylark.

Dan,

Actually post GS/Skylarks used one type door panel, the Specials are a little "cheaper", with a embossed foil emblem in them and the vinyl embosing goes horizontial unlike the post Skylark/GS style

Also just a FYI: I have seen hardtop panels mounted in a Post car, though to do this and make it work out, you would need to use a hardtop back seat and filler panels as well

It kinda works, a previous owner did that in a Skylark I have. Along with seats from a mid to late '70s GM.
Was entertaining to say the least.
