We have chewed a lot of the same grass.
Grew up in the early drag racing scene in SoCal, all my family on both sides were machinists, engineers, mechanics, racers, in planes, trains and automobiles.
Drove Harleys for may years, USAF Crew Chief, and flying aircrew member, retired and then 27 years IT as Director of IT for several corporations in four states in the south east.
(Owned a 1975 Karman Ghia autostick, 1968 Type 3 1600 (U.S.) Square Back, 1973 German Type 3 Square Back and a 1970 Bug while in West Germany in the early 80s, and had a lifelong friend that was a big Hot Rod VW Bug guy in the 70s (had a wild bug with a 1600).
The Nailhead, and me being nearly the same age, just have a relationship that is hard to describe. I trust it to get me anywhere I want to go without giving it any thought.
But none of them impressed me as much as Buicks with the bottom end torque.
Nailheads, and (older) Harley's are cousins.
The 65 GS is a challenge, as specific parts are sometimes hard to come by, but for those that love the, it is worth the journey.
I am partial the the '64 Special and Skylark. (but could not help myself adding a nailhead because, why not?)
There is just something about the 64/65 GM A-Bodys that have a siren's call, and I cannot resist.
