Hello
THank You everybody !!!
Yes, I have hear that my GS is one of fastest 401nailhead original body/frame car.
I think ex owner, Jerry, has race 12.74 ET
I have bought extra pair vision alum. wheels (15x8") and Mickey Thompson ET Radial DOT tires (275/60-15").
We have racetrack is near here middle of Finland, so I really will go there and test car after made basic maintenance and check all (leakdown test, oil change....)
There is 4.11:1 R&P. I was drive car from Helsinki up to Seinajoki (350km)..... rather high RPM....
There was was some stuff with car. Original power steering system (all), original rear suspension arms, 3.55:1 Richmond R&P, original front swaybar,....
I have ordered from CARS Headliner, which has arrived to Finland, and mechanical fuel pump + door seals. Never seen those. CARS Buick parts company is not answer my +10 email. Im tired to ask where parts are now....
Ex owner in USA has invest very much. I like that style to built this kind of original muscle car. Not 100% original but near.... good stuff, nice hi-perf extra.
Carmen Fasco has done good job, Nice tranny (manual valvebody), Greg Gessler has made heads + intake.... Very good, I give 100points !
With car come all later paperworks. Also most important stuff like :
- original tittle
- Original order sheet
- Original protect-0-plate
- Original service manual
- Original owners manual,...
This 2nd Covid summer I just keep car on the road. After summer I fix hood and few other paint problems, change headliner, seals,...
Already fixed before winter (car arrived on October) engineroom wirings. After that they inspected car and now I have historical vehicle status in it.
My Friend owns 65GS convertible, he already has GS-401 lic.plate, I need to think if I pay GS -lic.plate too (750euro, 800usd).
In Finland we have maybe 6-10 1965 GS. Less cabriolet and thin pillar, maybe half are 2dht.
I was racing 25years less or more. After that I keep 9y break and now I have street nova (9sec).
This GS is more for driving on the highway.
Hot Rods are my main thing, just building 1932 roadster which will be ready 6/2021.
I just ordered GS stickers from my friends company. 3" long small window sticker. We do not want to establish real association, but have
"unofficial" original GS owners club Finland
