Looking for the actual bakelite horn relay! Yes the part.

There are also reproductions that aren't quite correct

The reproduction one posted above is actually correct for the older full size cars 61-63, but as pointed out, will fit and function perfectly in place of the on on your 65GS.  The horn relay from a 64 Skylark is also the same as the one on a 65GS.

Mine quit working so I removed the cover and cleaned the contacts. Works well now. I picked up a spare in a wrecking yard from a 65 Cutlass. Got the entire unit with the bakelite mount. Same as the 65 GS.
