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.

Isn't that a non AC shrould on a AC car?

[dsags]

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 .

Scroll down to lot 335 and 335.1 for the GS's

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'.
