about to PART OUT 1965 4 door !!!!

[wheelz]

Well guys...the foedoe is home now. It has quite a bit of nice used parts.  Some parts like the VERY NICE door emblems...hood ornament and taillight center emblem,  he decided to keep.    arrrgh.   Still, this car sports good stuff. I will be posting pix of stuff you guys are in line for, over the next few days. 
I am planning to move fairly fast on parting this car out, so I say in advance, list your wants/needs and Thanx for your continued interest.

First group of pix: BRAKE BOOSTER for CHUCK...its not real good, pitted and NO Delco Morraine stamping. May be a replacement. sorry.

Thanks Dennis.  Yeah, that one looks just about like the one I have.  Sorry, I'll have to pass.

By the way, my restorer, who has done a ton of Pontiacs with these boosters tells me that the factory original boosters from Delco Moraine did not have it stamped into the face of the booster.  Only the service parts were stamped.  So I'm quite sure this one is original to the car.

Thanks again and good luck with your part sales!

This Group of A/C pix for Kevin Rollaround:  It appears everyting is intact with the exception fo the compressor and brackets... dash vents, center dash vent, heater box and plastic directive manifold, blower box, fan, hoses, condensor and original mounting brackets, muffler, receiver/dryer, all under hood lines, connectors, relay, cables and dash control ( not shown but in a box with other parts)  it certainly looks like its all there! EXCELLENT for someone wanting all original 65 GS A/C parts under their hood!!!


I was just informed:  Dennis, Just in case you are not aware, the condenser mounting brackets and the A/C hoses that attach to the compressor are different between a Skylark and a GS.    Loren

ThanX!  No. I did not know that... something to consider all you a/c guys...

Thanks Wheelz! I think I will take the brake pedal pad and the parking brake pad if they are the original ones (and if they're cheap :) ) I will put them on my survivor.

Be veryyyyyy careful removing the turn signal buckets - the studs will snap easily.

Keep me posted. Thanks!

[wheelz]

Dan and all you guys. . , ThanX for your interest in parts.
My wife and I have been fighting that dern flu thing goin round since last wednesday, walked off the Praise team platform just after completing our 8 song set sunday morning, a ball of sweat, cold and trembling...went right home and crashed....found out Pastor requested an alter call and The Team played 2 more songs WITHOUT A DRUMMER....  ugh.   Can you say Worhsip Music UNPLUGGED?
I finally got to see the Doc noon today and was subscribed me ZPAK...Keep ya posted on my recovery!

I am familiar with the studs twisting off on the sig turnal buckets...because of that, I gathered some energy today and went out sprayed PBBlaster on them along with bumper bolts, core support bolts, hood hinges..etc...

LET THE DISMANTLIBNG BEGIN!!!

I can check that in a Buick parts book for you.

[wheelz]

Checked my Buick parts book

Listing shows : Hood hinge  64-65  Special    1366260 -R   261 -L

So there is only one style, used in 1964 and 1965. Part number ending 260 is for the right side, part number 261 is for the left side.
It is listed as " Special ", because that is the base model of the Skylark and Gran Sport.

Parts book also lists the hood springs as applicable 1963- 1967. Was surprised by that one.

Original finish was a dark grey phosphate finish.  Happen to have a pair of NOS hinges here [not for sale] , so I could post pictures if anyone is interested.
