This rare example also is #s matching and has great features. What really separates it from most other muscle cars whether it's a 65 GTO or Chevelle is the quality! EXTERIOR: The fit and finish on this Buick is truly among the best you'll find anywhere. The body is absolutely laser straight with precise fitting panels and no rust, damage, or issues. Repainted its original Flame Red color, the finish is polished to a glass like shine and arguably looks better than it did when it left the factory in 1965. All of the chrome and trim is exceptional. The bumpers are show quality, the stainless trim is polished bright, and it features dual Tri-Shield mirrors. The weatherstrips and seals have been replaced, along with the windshield. The black power convertible top is in excellent condition and fits beautifully. Completing the look is a set of 15-inch Buick chrome wheels wrapped in radial redline tires, giving the car a proud, muscular stance. INTERIOR: It is every bit as impressive as the exterior. The upholstery fits beautifully without a wrinkle, the cushions are firm, and the seats have been professionally reupholstered. The door panels, armrests, and interior trim are all fresh and in excellent condition. A rare center console separates the bucket seats and down on the floor is the optional consolette with the 4-speed shifter, complemented by a tachometer and gauges. The carpets have been replaced and are protected by GS floor mats. The dash area is exceptionally well preserved, featuring a padded dash, factory AM radio, tilt column, and a handsome walnut steering wheel. Power windows add convenience, and all the interior lights are functioning properly. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Power comes from the original numbers matching 401 Nailhead V8, factory rated at 325 horsepower and an impressive 445 lb-ft of torque. The engine compartment is exceptionally well detailed and presents beautifully. It is equipped with the correct air cleaner, valve covers, and factory style components right down to the cloth wrapped choke tube. For improved drivability and safety, it features power steering and an upgraded dual reservoir power brake system. The cooling system is fresh and proper, including the correct radiator, shroud, and fan assembly. The entire compartment is extremely tidy, with smooth, painted metal surfaces throughout. The original trim tag remains attached, and the battery is properly secured and fitted with a disconnect switch. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is finished to the same high standards as the rest of the car. Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, the Flame Red paint is polished smooth and glossy. Inside, the metal is clean and protected with a neatly applied spatter finish. The weatherstrip has been replaced, and the trunk is equipped with a reproduction mat and tire cover. It is complete with the spare tire and jack assembly, and it also includes the optional Buick rubber trunk mat, a seldom seen feature. UNDERSIDE: The body off frame restoration was done to a very high standard, and the underside has the appearance of a freshly restored new car. The floors are absolutely spotless, clean metal, while the frame and chassis components are beautifully detailed in a semi-gloss black finish. It is equipped with the GS suspension package, including stiffer springs, boxed rear control arms, and front and rear sway bars. The steering and suspension systems have been completely gone through, and the brake system has been serviced and upgraded with front disc brakes. The emergency brake assembly is complete and hooked up. The fuel system has been replaced, including the gas tank, and a great sounding dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers runs neatly from front to back. Looking up at the drivetrain, everything is exceptionally clean. The original date correct T10 4-speed manual transmission presents fresh, along with a restored driveshaft leading back to the 10-bolt rear end equipped with 3.23 posi gears. Everywhere you look, the workmanship and attention to detail are evident, making this an underside you'll be proud to show off on any lift. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale. CONCLUSION: You can search the country and even if you were to find another 1965 Gran Sport convertible with a 4-speed, but finding one restored and presented to this standard is another matter entirely. In today's market, it could easily cost two times our asking price to purchase and restore a collector car to this level. This Buick is far more than a rare muscle car- it's an opportunity to own one of the finest examples available anywhere. Vehicles are displayed in a museum setting. Admission applies without an appointment and is refunded with purchase, including a one-year museum membership. 815-385-3644 (9–5 Central) Sales@VoloCars.com - Prompt responses Power steering Power disc brakes 3.23 posi Power windows Bucket seats Console Tilt wheel GS floormats Clock Seatbelts Power top GS mags Radial redlines https://www.volocars.com/vehicles/19220/1965-buick-skylark-gs 1965 Buick Skylark https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/buick/skylark/1965/listing/243969 1965 Buick Skylark Custom This California car is rust free without dents or real problem areas. Runs and drives, has AC, powered steering, powered windows, and powered brakes. The engine is a v8 6.6L pushing around 325 BHP while only weighing 3 thousand pounds, pretty good for a classic in my opinion. This car is almost complete itself. It just needs a little time from someone. It has all parts needed to complete, and has original parts as well. The only thing that you would have to buy is a new paint job and brake pads. The parts purchased for it: New procar seats because the original ones were completely used through. Has mounts with it and are ready to install. JEG Sport Star rims with spacers that, with the right tires, will fill out the wheel well without rubbing. Currently has brand new tires (not even broken in, driven for ten miles) on older aftermarket rims. Smart rearview mirror with backup camera and dashcam that just needs to be wired, comes with a small kit that bypasses having to plug it into the cigarette lighter. Sound dampening pads have been applied as well as insulating pads, so it does not sound like a tin can anymore. Has new interior trim pieces and new headliner (trim pieces installed, headliner is not) Edlebrock carb with adjusted jets to fit Utah air, has a spacer as well. New spark plugs and retubed fuel line (original was very close to fan) New battery (dont remember which one, just bought a few weeks ago, not low end, but just under high end) New weather stripping for between windows. Now the rest of the description; Current wheel rubs so I would probably just use the JEG rims with new tires and sell the current ones. There is also a very slight coolant leak, I think, it had a leak for a week after some engine work was done, then stopped, there is still coolant in the system. I would probably have someone look at electrical work, the Odometer works but not gas. The brake pads should be replaced. UPDATE , it has been converted to disc brakes, interior is pretty much finished except the roof liner new wheels and tires, new radiator and electric fan, new alternator and wire upgrade, and some other odds and end 1965 Buick Skylark https://www.hotrodhotline.com/forsale/vehicles/buick/skylark/1965/listing/241783 1965 Buick Skylark Convertible – 300 V8 – Many New Parts Beautiful 1965 Buick Skylark Convertible powered by a 300ci V8.
