How many post cars ?
« on: June 18, 2020, 03:05:59 PM »
Curious as to how many 1965 post cars are out there. Do you have a Gran Sport or a Skylark?

 I have a Skylark and a GS.

I have a 65 Skylark early build car, original V6-Three on Tree re-powered to 401/forged pistons/super turbine 300. its going in now for fresh paint.
Royal Blue, Factory dual quad, 3:08 Posi, 2-1/2"Stainless exhaust, front disk brakes, Saddle bucket seat interior with console tachometer and wheel well trim.

It should pass just about everything except for a gas station.

If I die don't let my wife sell the car for what I told her it cost!

So many Skylarks, so little time!

Sounds like a nice build! I'd like to see pics too.
What is Royal blue compared to a factory color? dark blue , med blue or ?
I'm working on a 66 GS vert and want to do a color change from the Cream/black int.... considering the dark '66 blue. Undecided on interior color tho. Saddle would be nice, but not avail in '66.
