65 GS CONVERTIBLE PROJECT MICHIGAN
« on: June 25, 2019, 08:24:22 PM »
Car has been sitting since the 80?s and will need a frame if restored. Cream with buckskin interior,all original driveline with positraction. Motor is likely froze from sitting in damp building and everything appears to be complete. It was in need of a heater core and disassembled,parked,and never touched again. I was asked to give a price on restoring it,but I backed out when I saw the frame. The tub is better than it should be and car has never been wrecked other than the driver quarter damage from someone backing another car into it. There will be no parts sold off individually,but I can load it on a trailer and get you the original title from 1966 from the original owner. $2800     If interested PM me your email and I can send pics easier.

Update....
The 65 convertible sold on eBay,but the guy was a ?no show? and it is still here in Michigan. This is as complete as they get and still has the OEM 13/16 lug nuts,engine,trans,posi,console tach,etc....very original rusty car. It could be restored if someone had a nice frame. I DO NOT want to take ANY parts from it,but if someone  is interested in whole car $2800. Best to PM message with email if you did not see the original pics.Dan

Dan and others,

If anyone is interested in this car, but concerned about the frame, we still have the rolling chassis from our GS parts car available.  Here in Michigan also. 

So, Dan, might this change your mind about doing the restoration?   :headbang:

PM me if interested.  This could make for a complete restoration package.

Cheers!

I have quite a few pics of the car but they are large format and take up too much space to post here. It is a single carb original 401 that is in complete rusted condition. It is easier to send pics via email if interested. Chuck......what kind of shape is that frame in? Dan

The frame has surface rust and pitting, but is very solid.  I'll send some pictures.
