    Sold my 65 GS earlier this year . Now I'm sorry ...
    So I'll start my search again . Looking for darn near perfect 65 Skylark GS , hardtop or coupe , automatic , no air . Or if you should run across it a 65 or 67 GTO , again must be darn near perfect , automatic , no air .

    I just plain miss the GS and made a mistake ( but I bet some of you knew that ) , and miss coming to this site for advise . Anyway if you know of any please let me know .

    Thank you ,

    It's hard to believe just how tough it is to find a 65 GS . You can find those that are just so so but not one that is a #1 or #2 car . Do any of you remember Steve Shuman ? His wife still has 3 of the 4 65 GS Skylarks that he had . One is really sharp . Turquoise with white interior and white vinyl top . But it would need restoration . Any Buick guy's up to a restore if I would buy it ?

    65 Gran Sport

    Found a 65 Skylark GS at www.cars-on-line.com in Colorado . Seller want's $25,000.00 for the car . I thought that was way to much based on it's a single 4-barrel , automatic . Even though it checked out to be in excellent condition . Also based on what I sold mine for a few months ago and it was a dual quad car , red , black interior , and I think was in excellent condition (ask Harle) , and it fetched $20,500.00 . Then this car in Colorado shows up on Ebay . I bid on it , talked to the dealer , stopped bidding at about $18,500 . , the car hit $19,600. but did not make reserve , therefore not sold . So any of you wanting to spend big bucks for this car it's probably a good one . Since then ( please let me stay in your forum ) , I just bought a 1965 Pontiac GTO , HT , automatic , tri-power , all #'s matching and it should be delivered next week . Very nice piece . I sold my 69 Road Runner , had sold my 65 GS , and guess what , still looking for a 65 GS . So forgive me for my long post , just catching up , missed v8buick while it was down .

    65 Gs

    They bought it for $13,500 and now trying to turn it around at over $20K ? Wow , that's a really high return in that period of time , not even Barrett-Jackson makes that kind of money . He should have taken my offer at $18,500 , he would have made $5K and I would have been OK with that . But since then I have bought a 65 GTO . Still looking for another 65 GS , but not at the price their asking . I'll probably find one at some point , most are single 4-barrel cars , but I already have a dual quad set-up with chrome air cleaner waiting for my new GS when I find the right one .

    Thanks for the info ,

    George

    65 Gran Sport / GTO

    Should be interesting to see if the white 65 GS will show up on Ebay again . I sent them an offer at $17,500 . and got no response . Just for fun here's a picture of my new GTO . Now I need it's match with a 65 GS . I'm not sure if the picture will show up . If not I'll try again , and still looking for a 65 GS .

    Steve ,

    Have sent you a PM regarding the 65 GS cars in Pa .

    Saw them all about 2 years ago . She sold a red 65 GS that was not numbers matching . I think it had a 425 in it .
