Nice car. I'm surprised to see there's no reserve on it!
Not many eBay cars break the 15k barrier.....curious to see what this one sells for.

Yes it is. Aftermarket AC added as the vents are under the center of the dash. Seems to be quite a few other non-stock parts - dual master cylinder for example - but if its a real GS ......

There was a "P&A product information" bulletin sent out dated February 4, 1965.
It was bulletin #3 and it stated :
"Due to the engine differences between the Special, Skylark and Gran Sport model, the 980880
custom A/C cannot be adapted to the Skylark GranSport.
Air Conditioning will be available on the Gran Sport as a factory option only and a dealer installed package will not be offered."

Kinda sums it up .

That is amazing Walt. Mike must have very good recall. Also for sale on Craigslist for $17,500.

Seller put a $16,500 Buy It Now on the car and it sold. In response to a question the seller said 'the car was bought at barrett jacksons auction in 2008 and the buyer has not used. his wife said sell'.
