Hi,

Nice looking, but no real interior pictures, also incorrect drivers side mirror.

Regards,
Jim

This car would look great paired with a Verde Green 65 convertible.

Sure looks great in Verde Green!!
Described as being in mostly original condition (not restored) and only 56k miles, it's a nice find.
There are a lot more pictures on their website:

The '64-'65 Buick A-bodies wear that "Green Green" very well. It is one of my favorite colors for those years.

The first 60 years were spent on surviving. The second 60 are gonna be spent on fun!

I agree John. It's always more cost effective to buy a finished restoration. But what fun is that? Miss all the agony and frustration?  :BangHead: :laughing7:

No factory away bars for Buick till like 67! The F41 is listed 68-72 in the Skylark line! The Oldsmobile 442 and Z16 Chevelle did have swat bars in 1965 though! So if you were knowledgeable a person could have got correct parts and put them on! For a cheap up grade to handling and suspension adding better and bigger sway bars,quick ratio steering is the way to go if your not concerned about 100% stock!
