Met a local here with 3 65 Gran Sports!
« on: January 27, 2017, 08:13:23 AM »
Over on the V8 Buick site a guy close by was looking for a 65 GS clutch fork.  I responded and he came by with the bellhousing etc... turns out he has a Post Sedan (red 4-speed) a Coupe (red 4-speed) and a Burgundy Mist Convertible (automatic)...also a 65 Special post sedan.  He bought my parts and was off,  lives about an hour away.  He showed me pictures and they look like great cars.  He said the one he bought in Cincinnati in the 70's.  Nice to know there are more out there and not everybody is glued to our conputer screen (guilty!)
I will try however to introduce him to the site here.
Cheers,
Ted

Great find Ted!  It would be great to add another fan to the family and some nice cars to the registry!

Ted,

Met a guy at the local All GM show last June that also had 3 65 Gran Sports - forgot about him until you posted this.
Told him about our clubhouse here, but he is not a "computer guy." He handed me his card, he works at a Chev dealer
in Duluth, MN. I'll contact him this weekend.
