Title: 65 GranSport ID tags
Post by: 4076c on May 16, 2017, 10:49:14 PM
Greetings A

       Salvaged these from a junkyard in Trego WI. Anyone able to "decode" these. Not much left of the car, but I was hoping someone could tell how the car was optioned. I plan on just "wall hanging" these. I don't think it's legal for them to change hands. Greg

Coupe built the fourth week of March 1965 in Kansas City plant, number 4282 of production.  Red interior trim with bucket seats.  Flame red exterior with Black top.  Optioned with ST300 automatic transmission, long console, back-up lamps, deluxe trim/wide belt molding, remote controlled outside driver's mirror, GS trim, door edge guards, deluxe seat belts with retractors.

Nice keepsake!  Welcome to the group!

Thanx so much for quick reply and description. At the least, as these cars are found in this state, I'm happy to harvest the organs, If you will, I was surprised to find one there at all and especially with the front fender vents still in place and it provided replacements for another's project. I would be surprised if its still lying there, but they don't crush the old stuff there(years go by quickly,so?) Stuff stored outside with no cover, so typical up nort detioration. Place has been in the local Gopher monthly the Porthole, but all this old guy only remembers it starts with a K, maybe Milton Dale can help with full name, not many yards in Trego WI! Thanx again, Greg

You're welcome!  Glad to help.

If you get to any more junkyards and find a 65 or 66 GS with air conditioning, please let me know if you find one with a fan shroud still intact.  I need one to "complete" my restoration and will happily pay for one in decent shape.
