Title: ran across this 65 GS in a local wrecking yard
Post by: GranSportSedan on May 08, 2015, 08:55:37 AM: walking through a local wrecking yard yesterday and spotted this 65. looked like the transmission exploded and blew a big hole in the floor pan. I wasn't sure it was a GS until I got close enough to see the trim had been added. still has boxed frame and big block steering column. the car is pretty much just a shell and not worth restoring as far as I can tell.

PM RobK. He could help in getting it to MN if it could be bought.

Post by: Mark Ascher on May 08, 2015, 03:06:01 PM: The rear bumper looks savable from that view too. It still fits the body nice & tight. GS roof trim still there too.
Also a late car - 4th week of July build.

Funny how these cars are popping up all of a sudden .

Post by: GranSportSedan on May 08, 2015, 08:26:16 PM: I think they want to sell it whole and not part it out.. that's funny because most of the good stuff has already been removed.

I will get the V.I.N next week when I go back out there. the car is in Western Oregon

Post by: GranSportSedan on March 24, 2016, 07:09:31 PM: Stopped back by this place and asked about the 65 since it wasn't sitting in plain sight anymore. he said they decided to make a drifting car out of it.
