Hi from CA SoCal 4th week of February build out of Flint. The rims are 15s, not available in 65. The steering wheel was also replaced. 65 was the first year for the Gran Sport option on the Skylark.

[@thomasthurston6656]

@loucostabile Oh, I do. lol, I'm a Buick guy. I was looking at the reply about the dirty floor. I said maybe you could offer to wash it for him. Some things people post, I'm like, get a clue the car is over 50 years old lol.

[@edb.3313]

Very nice and again I wish mine looked that good. Thanks Lou!!

[@loucostabile]

[@loucostabile]

Hi lars senstam, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car you had in college :-) Lou

[@larryhawkins3294]

Very sweet ride and an unusual find Lou. I erroneously thought that 66 was the first year for the Gran Sport option..now I know better.."way to go".

[@loucostabile]

Hi Larry, Happy to read you're enjoying learning on the Channel with me too :-) I'm learning all the time, Lou

[@MrTrack412]

Wow, nice looking car Lou. This must be one of the first Buick Gran Sports!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jed Clampett, Glad to receive a "Wow" from you :-) You're right, this is an early one as I think 1964 is the first. Lou

[@thomasthurston6656]

65 was the first year of the GS.

[@JeffKing310]

Solid example of a special car. Great video Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeff King, Glad you think this one is "special" :-) Lou

[@HWolfeIII]

Very cool and awesome car that lasts...! Nice cream paint especially the chrome, John

[@loucostabile]

Hi John, Glad you enjoy this one and consider this one very cool and awesome :-) Lou

Yeah, you know I'm a Buick guy and Buicks are my 3rd or 4th favourite car manufacturer. Can you give me some links for more Buick videos?

[@loucostabile]

[@garbage854]

Sweet :) We had a 1977 Buick Regal coupe that color :)

Great exhaust note though it was blowing some smoke. I could almost smell the old car. Thanks for the post.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Gene Still, Yes, when there older cars sometimes you get a little smoke. You're welcome, Lou

[@kalico812]

I think I just saw this car park in the Altomonte's warminster parking lot.

[@loucostabile]

Nice :-)

[@trainroomgary]

Hi guys /. Gary here from Michigan. /. Cool ride / May have been built at Buick Town / Flint, Michigan. / Cheers 🥂

[@loucostabile]

Hi Gary, Glad you think this one's cool :-) Thank you for sharing details on Buick Town /Flint MI, Lou

[@walterwynnchok7474]

How Cool 😎!...

[@loucostabile]

Glad you think this one is cool :-) Me too.

[@marcogallo7031]

Love it

[@loucostabile]

Fantastic :-)

[@dreammerchant4442]

Just beutiful all there original in touch..reminds me more of the Malibu 65 or 66 body style..also from this 65 model you can see the SKYLARK has transformed it self from 65 to the 1972 model..When the stage 1 came around boy did they take it another level..Get that INTIERIOR cleaned to original it will be so nice.The horse shoe type shifter was not in this model but they where in the Riviera of that year.That nail head engine is so nice..could hear a valve or lifter noise as if oil doesnt as if oil is not reaching the top . but once is warmed up they will quite down..worth opening get new oil pump with a bit more modern parts..

[@loucostabile]

Hi NO NAME, Happy to read you appreciate this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou

[@w41duvernay]

Buick + convertible means from the dealer at the time it had to be super expensive when it came out.

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge.

[@thomasthurston6656]

Any Buick was expensive. They were and always will be a step bellow a Cadillac.

[@aldente2676]

I've never seen a GM console blanking out the tachometer. Perhaps, Buick didn't want their customers overrevving their old Nailheads, through visual overconfidence. Those Nailheads were actually heavier than the newer thin-casted 400-430-455 blocks

[@loucostabile]

Hi Al Dente, Thank you for viewing and sharing what you notice, and sharing your knowledge, Lou

[@thomasthurston6656]

It was an option on the GS.

[@romans828.]

Looks remarkably like a 65 Chevy Malibu.

[@loucostabile]

I can see why you'd say that.

[@ketoking9435]

This car looks like it just rolled off the assembly line,,,,I'd want to keep that cars indoor's,,,,,

[@loucostabile]

Hi Irfan Khan, Glad you enjoy the looks of this one :-) Lou

[@AndrewGraham07]

Unassuming, bluff nosed Skylark probably more fun than it looks. Nice sound.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Andrew Graham, I think you've hit the nail on the "nailhead" :-) This car is "fun". Wishing you're well, Lou

[@USNVA-yn6cp]

lifter going bad? Sharp car!!!!!!!

[@loucostabile]

Thanks for sharing a tip to look at with this "Sharp car" :-)

[@thomasthurston6656]

Buick's have a tap. It's most likely a fuel pump tap.

[@stevenbowles2068]

I have a 64 that color

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you have a cool car too.

[@briefman49]

Gran Sports plural because there was the Riviera Gran Sport also

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for viewing & sharing.

[@christopherbennett4559]

I'll buy that for a dollar. 👍👍👍

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for sharing.

[@klwthe3rd]

I absolutely love the 65 Gran Sport but you still think he could have cleaned it up a little more. I'm all about all original but the interior looked a little dirty. Mats not laying correctly, dust and dirt in all crevices and the hood chrome strip going down the center of the hood missing. If you look close in the video you can see the holes where the pins holding the chrome strip would go. And painting a bad red line on the actual rim was in my opinion very cheap. Great car, poor presentation

[@loucostabile]

Hi Kenneth White, Glad you "love" this one :-) Maybe you should buy it and give this one the TLC it deserves? Lou

[@thomasthurston6656]

Atleast he brought it out to the show. Why don't you clean it for him.

[@eaglewhitefeather0183]

Very nice.

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one :-)
