    1965 Buick Gran Sport (GS)

    This is another from the warehouse of collector cars.

    Taken as a trade, unfortunately, not a lot is known of the history of the car.

    However, she is super clean, rust/rot free, has a newly rebuilt 455 big block under the hood with headers and 3" exhaust. It still has the ST300 two speed auto transmission bolted to it (which is pretty good for use on the strip) and that runs out to a 10 bolt GM rear diff and puts the power to the street with a set of BFG Drag Radials. The odometer reads only 67,000 miles.

    Exhaust and shocks are recent as are the power brakes. All four are finned/vented drums. (Not AlFins)

    We do know that the car was built in Fremont CA and is coded as a 2 door hardtop coupe, originally in beige over a black vinyl interior.

    It has just been repainted by the current owner in a color very close to the Buick Astro Blue metallic and the seats and headliner were reupholstered in a very nice ivory that matches the vinyl top, which was redone when the paint was done.

    This car is an animal and rumbles and barks like one.

    She is FAST!

    Asking price is only $20,000 obo and that would be very hard to match even if you did all the work yourself.

    Any questions, to schedule a time to see her, for many more photos and video or to make an offer, please don't hesitate to contact me.

    Thank you for the interest.

    Hi,

    Must be using a sbb st300 doesn't sound like a good idea in front of a 455

    Had one behind a 73 455 in a 71 skylark I thought it was a turbo 350 when I Installed it they look the same was great for racing used to shift at 65 miles an hour in to Second gear.

    I hope that has some really low gear ratio for that 1- 2 shift.

    You know it's quality when the sides of the exhaust tips are painted body color.
