1965 Buick Gran Sport Gasser

[Psalm65]

Lol.

I got some info from someone he said "Here's what I found. It was an A/FX based on a 1965 Skylark coupe built by Dick?s Speed Center of Yreka, California. The rear axle and wheel openings moved forward a foot. The front fenders were unmodified but the stock coil-spring independent front suspension was replaced by a straight axle and leaf springs and pushed forward several inches and lifted 6". Your photo must be an older photo because it was mentioned it had a Hilborn-injected Nailhead with ram tubes sticking out of a Ford Thunderbolt hood blister. "

Well, I found the above comments about the A/FX GS in a Google search. There are a bunch of other Buick tidbits of interest. Take a look:

That was a good read

This car is major cool! Would be so neat to have it now and take it to the nostalgia drags! I have been going to the nostalgia melt down drags at Byron IL for the last 3 ! Which has been open since 1964! Two of my friends where there for the very first opening drags and they use to run 4 cars at once! Never seen a glass front end for a 65!? I think glasstek or one of the vendors made hoods,deck lids, bumpers in the 90's for our 65's! There was a 67 GS fiberglass bodied funny car with a blown hemi? back in the day! Only have seen a few pictures of it!

That thing is cool looking . It reminds me of the art work on the shirts we had made up , just needs to have a blown nailhead in it .
Once my restoration is done that i,m working on now i,d love to build one like that .
NOSTALGIA 65 GS GASSER !!!

  Should we have another batch of shirts done?
