Interesting Autoevolution Article
« on: June 07, 2024, 01:03:02 PM »
This was published in February, but I just saw it today. Very interesting article which discusses the lack of recognition of the 65 GS in the market. A lament that we've all shared. Nevertheless, an enjoyable read.

A good weekend to all!!

It's there, just hard to see. I had to zoom one of the pictures to see it...

Good article. Kind of applies to the 66 also and the 68-69 models too.

Thanks for posting the article Chuck, I also watched the video at the end. Don't know the person, but he has a very nice GS. It also linked me to a video from BobbyBuick, Very much like my coupe restoration, but I did not have the room to remove the body from my chassis.
