Great price. Hope someone on the board gets it.

Chris, you need this GS so that you will have a matched pair. I can't figure out the grille emblem. Must be some kind or awarded plaque or something like that. The wheels would look better painted factory black. Other than that, it looks like a decent GS convertible for a great price. I live about 3 hours away from this GS. If anyone is seriously interested, for the cost of gasoline, I'll go have a look at it and send photos.

"Hey Anne, I found this white 65 GS convertible in Kansas and I want to buy it"

:BangHead:I really want another rag top some day. If it were a 4 spd, I would be on it without question.

Dan, PLEASE!!!, you're killing me.lol
I really must get a couple of other projects done first. Then I may have to enlist you and your sleuthing ability to seek one out for sure. Game?
Loren

It will be done by June for sure. If we have a normal or even early spring, I may be able to handle it before our April trip.
Then it will be car building time :blob7:

I have the same one too... It would be great to have twins, but the wife said I would be sleeping in it. So I think I will pass on this one... Did anyone notice that
there are NO GS emblems on this GS or do I need stronger glasses???? someone let me know !!
Thanks. Tony

Good catch Tony.

Tony,
How could I have missed the fact that there were no GS emblems? This is why we gotta stick together as a close knit group. I'd hate to have anyone mislead into a misrepresented high dollar purchase. It looks like it does have the correct ventiports, but that does not make it a '65 Skylark Gran Sport. It really needs to be personally inspected to be sure. If anyone is a serious buyer, I will do the inspection for you.

Copied from the ad, I've highlighted, and underlined my concerns
This is an authentic Gran Sport in every detail; 401cuid nailhead small block, drive train upgrades, ect - except for the steering wheel (walnut racing) and the air cleaner (chrome). All matching numbers, every option but a few. This auto is in excellent running order and has always been kept in such; 3 month old valve job and new bands in the 300 PowerGlide tranny. Every piece of original trim is in place, save 3 items.

And here I been mislead all this time, thinking I had a big block in my GS.lol
I counted at least 4 trim pieces, ie the emblems. Also noticed a very rusty drivers rear quarter.

Dan,
Old dog learning new tricks.lol I found out what [Ctrl +] combination does. Try it, kinda neat.
Likewise, [Ctrl-] makes it smaller.
Loren

Loren, new tricks indeed !! Neat trick.
