  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    George,

    Do you mean original type-stuff, or what's available? I'm not an expert, but know some of the ins-outs-etc. The guy you SHOULD call is Carmen Faso in North Tonawanda.

    716-695-7144

    He's an encyclopedia on the nailhead.

    George,
    Welcome to the V8 Buick bunch. You will find these folks here are a wonderful bunch of people. I have been in prosess of restoring a 65 GS myself for the past 15 months or so. I can tell you I would have been lost without the advise and directions I have received from this great bunch of folks. My GS is a 2 door hardtop matching numbers 401 with ST 300 auto trans, tilt steering wheel, remote drivers side mirror and factory air conditioning. The parts for this car I have found have been somewhat hard to come by. My car had been wrecked in the front end I have it back together and I am still trying to find some parts for it. I have been driving it to work every day, and I am loving the feel of the horsepower and ride. I still have to do the body, interior and finish the A/C. If you have time I would like to know a little about your 65 GS. Take care and let us know how you are doing.
