Bought my first 65 Gran Sport convertible, 3spd. stick in 1969, used in Chicago. Fixed it up, got totaled. Moved to Arizona, 1973 bought another 65 Gran Sport hardtop, automatic from original owner, on my second restore. Been a member of GSCA since the early 70's. Glad to have found this forum while looking for parts. Happy to see others are very interested in the first year. Have owned other GS,s. 1971 GSX, 1967 Rivera GS both sold now. Still own my 1969 California which I will restore when the 65 is complete. The 65 though is my favorite, as you have already figured. Not real computer lit., but bear with me.
