General Discussion / Secret fisher body decoder!

« Last post by gssizzler on Today at 07:29:04 PM »

So sometimes people that pass on leave ya really cool and more valuable then cash items! So my buddy
Gil left a really neat historical piece to help with the documentation of our special cars! I would try and talk to him every week . in one of our conversations he said that he had a very unique piece that when I got to  visit him out west he wanted me to have. I had kind of forgotten about this , imagine my surprise
when I found this on a recent trip!! Loren will help post it and hopefully also in the gallery under literature!? Might be a minute as there a few technical items with the sight! Stay tuned and be safe!

When my dad graduated from college he bought a brand-new 65 Olds Cutlass.
He didn?t even have a job yet.
Ultra high-compression 330 and an M-21.
It was dark green with a white interior and tach on the console.
My Mom used to drive us in it when i was a tot.

Another friend had a 65 GTO convertible in the 90s
389 4-barrel and another M-21 - no console.
We used to rail along the freeways in Phoenix at night with the top down.

Something about 65 A-bodies is indeed the best of the best.
Styling sussed out, true muscle, and not yet bigger and bloated.
Luckily for all of us not everyone knows which cars are the best.

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.
