We need a 1965 ST300 variable pitch transmission for a 401 engine immediately for the Reynolds Gran Sport.
I have one, out of a 65 Skylark Gran Sport that showed about 80k miles. $350.00 picked up. I am located in southern Ohio.
Yes and it's for a great cause with this re-creation of the Reynolds Car. I would offer it up and just have him cover the shipping costs. Not sure if BuckeyeBuicks is aware of this Reynolds project. Mostly everything has been donated and all labor is being done for free. Check it out BB.
Thanks 65, there is 60k in this car plus tons of donated parts from great Buick fans and a mountain of donated labor. Come on guys, let's get this done. She's got to be in West Covina in 2 1/2 weeks for the Reynolds Buick 95th birthday open house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're all wecome to come along.
WOw only 2.5 weeks away??? By the way, where is the "Reynolds Thread"? I need to see the info. West Covina? Can't wait to see it done, I do remember seeing some pics of the body unpainted and then painted and Holy $hit!!! Looks amazing so far!!!!:TU: Edit: I found the thread and the car is giving me a chubby!!!!!
See post #3 here: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=213483 From member Big Matt - "Now if I could just find a use for the 4-5 ST-300's I have laying here."
I guess we were thinking the same thing.:laugh: :beers2: If needed, I could throw in a few bucks towards the purchase and/or shipping to get this thing done. It wouldnt be a whole lot, but it would be something.o No: I would love the chance to take some little part of the build of this car.
cool! me too. Jack, if you do make it (and you better!) which route are you taking to West Covina. Maybe we can meet up somewhere for the ride.
They are for the 300/340 BOP pattern I bet. Too bad you can't use one of the ST400 trannies I have here! Only about 6 extras.
Most (if not all) 65-66 ST400's used the short 4" tailshaft. But overall it is longer, so you'll have to move the crossmember back. I can't believe Jimmy doesn't have any extra ST300s!o No:
So is the car in CA or are you coming from out of state? I live in CA and have one out of a 65 GS but it will need a rebuild. I could hook you up with my uncle who drove for KB back in the day, and hes could rebuild the trans for you. hes been doing it for 30 years. What day is the party at Reynolds?? Doug
We been slaming putting this car back together and cleaning and polishing parts ...screws..nuts...washers...wires...switches..ect ect ect...I can't believe I dont have an extra st 300 either..!! Walt...did ya see the 66 GS's all lined up with that 65 in the GSXtra? can you say...where is the Time Machine...!!!!!!!
Jimmy, I read that article and loved the story about racing a Mustang with the '65...that picture is wicked cool too. :beer Keep up the good work- You and Larry Miller are the inspiration for my 65 Wildcat collection...
