I thought I would offer this up to everyone here first before advertising it elsewhere. I just took apart a '65 GS that came from CA. A guy in my town bought it off Ebay several years ago and had it hauled here. It sat near the ocean in Santa Monica for many years, so the body was completely rusted out--worst I had ever seen. Fast forward to this past Fall and the guy that had it hauled here ended up out of work on disability, and his wife left him, so he sold it to me. Over the Christmas break, I disassembled the car and what I have left is a complete "kit" to build a '65 GS--all you need is a regular Skylark or Special body to put on it.
Here is what you get:
-Rolling chasis with a rock solid frame (just has surface rust). Frame still has front and rear bumper mounts on it and the rear crossmember (behind the rear bumper) is perfectly straight and un-damaged (which is very unusual).
-3.08 factory posi GS rear end
-LR code 401 engine with 101,000 miles (was stuck, but I got it un-stuck this past week and have it running now-fires up and runs perfectly, but I would go on and rebuild it if I were building a car with it)
-ST300 GS transmission
-core support with radiator, battery tray/brackets, horns, and GS grille (pitted)
-4 original '65 GS rally wheels (need to be rechromed)
-console with shifter and all the hardware
-under dash wiring harness with the branch that goes to the console
-all the GS under-hood wiring
-GS standard floor shift steering column
-GS glove box door
-All 5 GS emblems
-GS fender venti-ports
-Black bucket seats (need recovering, drivers needs new padding)
-bucket seat brackets cut out of the floor of the body (amazingly these weren't rusted)
Only thing missing to make a complete GS out of a Skylark or Special body is one piece of the trim that goes along the bottom of the roof where it meets the quarters (usually called the vinyl top trim). I have the two short pieces that go along the side, but the long one that goes around the back had holed drilled in it with screws through it, so it went to the scrap yard with the body.
All for $1800. Located in Mocksville, NC
I can do a partial delivery and meet the buyer in one of the surrounding states if that helps.
I can start it up and you can hear it run
