Not mine.
Some of you are out that way, might be worth a look! Claimed to be an original 4 speed car, but engine/trans is gone.

Jim,

1965 Buick Gran Sport ( GS ) convertible - $1400 (Stillwater)

1965 Buick Gran Sport GS convertible title status : clean
1965 Buick GS convertible. Factory 401 4 speed car. Very rare car. It is a parts car with good tags and clear title. I bought it for the frame for another project I am doing. The car is apart. It comes with bucket seats, floor console, good fenders, trunk lid, hood, and fixable doors. It also has the convertible top assembly still in the car. This would be a perfect car to use if you have a hardtop version to get parts from.

I looked at the one for the Blair , WI craigslist. Not restorable !
 The remains have been apart for a long time by the looks of it. The front suspension is apart and I didn't see all the pieces. The doors are beyond saving as are the quarters, tail panel and trunk floor Major repairs needed to the floors and braces. I couldn't find a posi tag on the rear end, most likely an open differential.
The dash, tail lights are out and sitting on the dirt floor. All pitted as well.
Both front fenders have rust holes in the bottoms. Could only find one rocker molding and no pinch weld trim for where the body and top meet .
The frame seemed to be good, but the body is nothing more ten scrap. Unless all the good parts are some place else, it is too much $$$$.
With the exception of the doors and trunk lid, this has been totally taken apart.
The present owner says he has had it fro 30 years.

Loren,

That turns out to be the same car I linked to. The guy that bought it is in the Minneapolis area and wanted just the frame for a GTO project he is doing. Now has someone looking at the remainder for parts.
