1965 BUICK SKYLARK GRAN SPORT , 401 NAILHEAD , BURGANDY MIST

1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport .   This car was restored in 1991 by a BCA ( Buick Club of America ) member in Wisconsin .   At that time he rebuilt the engine and transmission . put patch panels in body . floor and trunk pans . replated the bumpers . replaced the interior with NOS parts and added the engine dress-up package .   The car came from the factory with undercoating and after he added the patch panels he added the necessary undercoating to match .   It was then painted it's original color NN Burgandy Mist with Base Coat / Clear Coat . This work was done by a person that knew Buick's and his work is excellent .   The car was then sold to another BCA member in Wisconsin who showed the car a few times and then stored the car in his barn for about 7 years due to other Buick projects .   While in storage it was parked in a insulated . concrete floor barn and covered .   Due to health problems he sold the car to the current owner in 2006 .

The current owner in 2006 replaced the entire brake system and booster . heater core . tires on 14" wheels . all belts and hoses . rebuilt the carburetor and distributor ( added Pertronix ) . new trunk and floor mats . added a rear sway bay . replaced the cracked steering wheel ( it seems all '65 Buicks had cracked steering wheels ) with a original type reproduction . and installed a Magnaflow exhaust system .   The cars shows about 8565 miles which is then unknown mileage .   We think when the car was restored the mileage was then set back .

The car was then buffed out to clean-up the storage dirt and now shows very well .   The paint is not perfect and shows some signs of it being painted many years ago .   It still shows well at local car shows and would be considerd a high 3 car but if your going to show it at Autorama or expect to get Barrett-Jackson dollars it would need to be painted .
