Its time to sell one of my ’65 Gran Sports
- a loaded hardtop. Bought it a bit over a year ago from Mister T (thanks Tom) with intentions to refurbish and use as a ‘driver’. While it has been entirely gone through, have decided my days of long road trips in old cars are behind me.
Originally a California car, built in Fremont (have a partial build sheet – or what passes for one in a Fremont car), the car came to the Midwest about 10 years ago. Original colors are Bamboo Cream and Saddle. The interior has been changed to black with Procar bucket seats and all new other components. It has all its original body panels, no rust and never off the frame.
Options as it came from the factory are power steering (converted to a fast ratio box), power drum brakes, tilt wheel, air conditioning (new hoses, drier and POA valve), power driver’s seat, power windows, automatic transmission (just rebuilt), 3.08 posi-traction rear axle, convenience group (day/night mirror, clock and trunk light), deluxe seat belts, remote mirror, radio with front and rear speakers (now USA-630 with iPod cable), tinted windows, custom bright exterior moldings (wheel well and reveal), two speed wipers and backup lights. Loaded.
The engine is the original numbers matching 325 HP 401 with 107K miles. The heads have been rebuilt with hardened seats. A compression check shows 180 pounds on all cylinders. The intake is from a ’66 and has a newly built 800cfm quadrajet on it. Pertronix ignition. Chrome valve covers and air cleaner complete the engine compartment.
New coils and shocks, new Waldron aluminized exhaust and a rear sway bar were added. The wheels are new 17” American Racing TT2’s with new Michelin tires.
As you might expect it drives very well and is a tight/solid car with no rattles. 70 mph is 2900 rpm and the steering wheel has absolutely no vibration.
Way better than driver quality. Asking $26,500. Email me at 3spencer2@gmail.com or send a PM for more information or pictures. Car is located in Green Bay, WI.
