I've been looking at your site as a guest, I am restoring a 65 skylark GS, and have found a lot of useful information so far, I finally found time to sign up today. I have had a lot of buicks over the years and decided I like the 65's the best, I currently have the skylark GS, a 65 Riviera GS and a 65 custom sportwagon, and just recently sold a 65 buick wildcat convt. I am looking forward to dealing with others sharing my interest in buicks.

Dear Tom, Loren, Jim, John, and fans of 1965 Buicks, . . .

First things first, . . . welcome to 65GS.com!

I've been looking at your site as a guest, I am restoring a 65 skylark GS.
. . . .
I currently have the . . . and a 65 custom sportwagon, . . .


. . . Yeah, but I don't get it . . . . . . You say you have a 1965 Buick custom Sportwagon and you are restoring the 1965 GS?

Oh, I get it now!  You are saving the best for last!! . . .

Seriously, welcome aboard, but don't wait too long before getting around to restoring that wagon!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Welcome Tom!  Glad you joined us.  It will be fun to see your pictures and follow your restoration thread.  You are going to start one, right?  Please do as we all learn from those together!

Nice stable of 65 Buicks.  I second Loren's comment.....a wagon would be fun!

Tom,

Welcome to our little club house. I thought that I was the only one in Kansas with a '65 Skylark GS. Where are you located in KS. I live in Overland Park.

Well,you do have a fairly legitimate excuse. Let's welcome the new project and maybe he will get us both back in motivation mode.

Welcome and try to post some pics of the GS......or the wagon for the guys who just have to be different...

thought I would share a few pictures with you guys, cars are put up for winter, so good shots are hard, skylark GS is in primer ready for paint. also shown is 65 Riviera GS and 65 sportwagon. I also thought you guys would appreciate sign I had made, had an original GS ad blown up for lighted sign.
