Back in the saddle again

Happy Saturday Buick brothers!
As many of you are aware I've been looking for a 65 Special or thin pillar GS off and on for a few years. I had a pretty rare version 10 years ago and sold it. That car ended up on the east coast a a couple different 65GS.com group members owned it. John the latest owner sold it back to me this week. I'm totally tickled. I'm not selling the 66 Special project so I now have two projects. I'll be looking for 65 parts here soon.

I hope to be parting out a sedan in Northern California soon, daughter lives in Oregon, so drop off may be possible if I have something you need.

Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to driving it again. I've already been buying parts for it and it isn't even here yet.

Plans for the car include installing my dual quad setup. A limited slip carrier and making sure all mechanical systems are in good working order. I have a 65 GS 4 speed transmission but frankly the 3 speed will suit me just fine. I bought a large cache of 65 parts from a local Buick restorer that is retiring and the car isn't even here yet. I have a complete 65 GS 4 speed conversion that I won't be using so I may post that up for sale soon.
