Hi from the great north

GM didn't use any until 1968. You should be able to look on the backside of the fender to find the holes for the skylark bird. The quarters had nothing in that spot. The lower rear quarters look pretty good in the pics.

Morrie ,
Welcome to 65GS home .
Are you going to put the car back to its original colors ? I love that turquoise color on those cars . Your car probably isn't any worse than mine . I,m putting a whole roof on mine .
So whatever you do don't get discouraged , these guys will help find the parts .
Glad your here

I am not sure but the roof from a 64 is the same?

[Mark Ascher]

Yes, 64 is the same.

Welcome, Morrie!  Good to add to the flock of GS enthusiasts.  Wow, I thought we had a short cruising season here in Michigan, but I bet it's even a bit shorter where you live. That GS is a great way to uniquely feed your appetite for classic Buicks!

 

Chuck  There not many competitions  up here but quite a few show and shines . Most of them are 2-4 hours away so it will have to run good.

Running good always puts a smile on your face!  Gotta love a good road car.

Yup the holes are there for the larks. The other side is worse. On the passenger side there is a 401 emblem were the lark should be. But today is the first time I looked at the picture of the front end enlarged the Gran Sport emblem WAS there NOT when I got home. Some lucky ditch(road ditch) got a emblem.

Wow, Morrie.....you jumped right into this project!  Looks like lots of "fun" ahead. Keep the pictures coming.  And I would recommend that you start a thread on your restoration so we can follow along.

Happy Thanksgiving!  I know that's a US holiday, but you might not see much of many of us here for a few days.

Dear Morrie, Mark, John, schlepcar, Chuck,  and 1965 Buick fans,

Isn't classic car restoration . . . . fun? 

and more pics, is there a better way to add photos?

Well honestly.  No.  There are ways to organize pictures such that it is a lot nicer to include photos, but the price you pay is complexity.  Unless, you have some other need to put up photos on the Internet, just keep posting as many as you can and then move on to another post.

Have a nice end of the week and weekend even if Canada doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving as late as folks in the USofA do . . .

Cheers, Edouard

Hi Morrie,

Agree with Chuck, start a thread in the Restorations & Projects section. You'll have to repost all the pictures.
Some nice pluses on your car; great color, black interior (easiest to do!) and factory manual transmission car. You should also consider entering it into the registry here.

All the 65 rust issues shown in your photos have been repaired on cars by members of the forum. Panels available are all the floors, panel between the back window and deck lid (GTO). You'll have to scrounge quarters, rear panel (tail lights) and top pieces. As John Evenson stated, he his replacing the entire top on 65 GS HT project. If Kurt still has that rear clip....
