1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport .  This car was restored in 1991 by a BCA ( Buick Club of America ) member in Wisconsin .  At that time he rebuilt the engine and transmission , put patch panels in body , floor and trunk pans , replated the bumpers , replaced the interior with NOS parts and added the engine dress-up package .  The car came from the factory with undercoating and after he added the patch panels he added the necessary undercoating to match .  It was then painted it's original color Burgundy Mist Base Coat / Clear Coat . This work was done by a person that knew Buick's and his work is excellent .  The car was then sold to another BCA member in Wisconsin who showed the car a few times and then stored the car in his barn for about 7 years due to other Buick projects .  While in storage it was parked in a insulated , concrete floor barn and covered .  Due to health problems he sold the car to the current owner in 2006 .

The current owner in 2006 replaced the entire brake system and booster , heater core , tires on 14" wheels , all belts and hoses , rebuilt the carburetor and distributor ( added Pertronix ) , new trunk and floor mats , added a rear sway bay , replaced the cracked steering wheel ( it seems all '65 Buicks had cracked steering wheels ) with a original type reproduction , and installed a Magnaflow exhaust system .  The cars shows about 8565 miles which is then unknown mileage .  We think when the car was restored the mileage was then set back .

The car was then buffed out to clean-up the storage dirt and now shows very well .  The paint is not perfect and shows some signs of it being painted many years ago .  It still shows well at local car shows and would be considerd a high 3 car but if your going to show it at Autorama or expect to get Barrett-Jackson dollars it would need to be painted .

This is a true 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport that is all numbers matching with power steering , power brakes , Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission , tinted windows , back-up lights , tach in console , am radio , 3:08 open rear end with original NN Burgundy Mist paint and black bucket seat interior .

Built the 3rd. week of June in Flint , Michigan .  As you might know there were only 7,670 Gran Sport Hardtops built with the automatic transmission of 15,780 total Gran Sports built in 1965 .  This is a very well maintained car and at this price it's a true value .
