'65 Skylark Gran Sport, Factory 401/3-sp Stick, One of 604, Stored Away for Years

**scuncio** · #1 08-03-2019, 03:03 AM

Rare car with the 3-speed manual. I had a 4-speed '66 convertible which was pretty tough to find parts for...I remember finally locating the discontinued throwout bearing I needed in some NOS stock and ended up buying a few handfuls to supply other GS folks.

This one will need everything, and frankly, it's probably going to end up a parts car for a better one. The '65-66 401 cars are great IMO but they don't bring the big money to justify a good resto.

Hmm. Does the 65 Skylark frame interchange with 65 Chevelle?

GS had a convertible frame but I’m guessing it’s the same.

no, it doesnt interchange..chevelles are shorter behind the rear wheels than skylark/gto/cutlass

"probably going to end up a parts car..."

That would be a shame, but I know there are more old cars out there then will ever be restored, or even made road worthy.

I know it...it's a shame...I hope I'm wrong.

Relisted in the link below at a lower price....$4000 buy-it-now but the reserve may be less than that.
