I have a complete 1965 Skylark GS, correct four-speed, 401 (correct engine), all linkage, etc. Vehicle runs and drives nice with the exception of some vibration at 55 mph, that I will fix. Problem is it is under a 1965 El Camino Body. Solution, I find a 1965 GS that has been abused by installing a Chebby engine and tranny, preferrably a 350 with an overdrive automatic. I reunite the Buick parts by dropping the GS body on my existing frame and put the Chevy engine in another frame I have with the Elky body and I'll have two cool vehicles and sell one, the Chebby! So if you know of a raped GS that needs a transplant, let me know.
Find a ruff Skylark convertible has same frame and good luck . I think there's one on LA Craigslist .
I'm not in a hurry, so I can wait until the right car comes along. I could see removing a 455 and putting it in the elky. :Brow: Kurt
Hi Kurt...IF..for any reason you sidestep your original dream and decide to sell the 65 Buick 4 speed drivetrain setup..LOOK NO FURTHER for a more-than-honest cash buyer. I have a 65 GS 4 speed convertible in need of serious restoration... however, some of the original 4 speed parts are missing in action and the parts/pieces I have, are not in the best of shape. SO a complete 4 speed setup would be awesome! Please keep me in mind! :TU: and GOOD LUCK on your search! ray: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Joe, no problem! Kurt, as Joe stated, it's karma! Check this car out. The car looks like it's all there sans engine/trans. Mark
I will call him tomorrow. Car is half way across the county..... Of course, my elky came from Utah, which isn't much closer. Thanks guys for looking out for me. Kurt
