Welcome Armando,

You have joined the right website for info and help with your '65 and '64 Skylarks. A number of the website's members have restored '65 Skylarks and Gran Sports. There's no substitute for experience. There are also members who have parted out cars and may have parts to sell or donate. Post your questions and parts wish list and you will find the answers on this site.

I recall seeing a red 65 GS for sale in Texas online a few years ago. Is that the same car?  Didn't it have a chev 454 in it at one time?

This one had no motor in it when i found it. Maybe had a chev motor has a big norwood hood scoop on it.did you see it in hemmings?
online. It is kind of red very flat dull one repaint was originally red with white interior.I think it had a counsole there is some screw hole's where it would have been. my first gs did not have one so i have never seen one in person just pics. there was a wire that came off the factory harness that looked like it was for a tach or light.
