I have a 65 Buick special Convertible its complete but will need restoration , does run well , has 300 v/8 engine with 2barrel carb ,automatic trans , bucket seats shift on floor with console, am radio , top frame is there , no skin ,stock hub caps great car for project, floors are good however the trunk tray will need to be replaced ,due to it having sat around for years i'm sure it would be best to spend time going thru it ,can be a great car with some effort , would like to sell it locally but am open to far away buyers that can handle getting their own transport needs taken care of . price is 5.000 or best offer give me a call for any questions you may have Great deal !!!!!!!@#$%^&*eek2:
Looks like a '64 to me o No: from the front, and '65 dash and console. Did Buick carry over the front to some of the '65 cars?
64 grille, bumper & fenders look like 64 driver side, while passenger side appears to be a 65..(look at bumper stamped out location).....very strange location for a hood ornament? 65-66 floor console... 65 dash?... WHAT does the title say?? ..and knowing WHERE this car is would be a big help too... Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Good Eye Dennis. I've had my Convert for 11 Years and still cant tell the little bits and pieces between the Two Years. I Did however notice the Seats are in poor condition. PONCH
You see it a lot where people swap fenders on 64 and 65, thinking they are the same. But as you said, the bumper recess is different. 64 is higher up towards the belt trim. Agreed, the hood ornament location seems to be odd. The front buckets appear to be possibly 65 GTO pattern.
...thats not a BUICK hood ornament.... ou: and possibly a 62-63 Galaxy 500 right top of fender wing type thing??? o No: either way, he still hasnt responded to any of this chatter...:Brow:
The title says 1965 , & I sure its not the correct hood ornament,this is what was on it when i got it it does run floors are solid trunk tray however will need to be replaced (no holes yet) those bucket seats i sure are out of a Pontiac but due to them being exposed they will need to be updated,the wing on fender i'm not sure of but do have both. this car is in Los Angeles calif
Hi there KW, FWIW, comments about your car aren't meant in a mean way! Just observation. Good luck with your sale. 65 verts are cool cars. :TU:
...would be a consideration if it were'nt for the fact that this car is ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!! :Brow: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
