Looking to buy a 65 GS. Need a little help
Hello all,
I believe that the GS model was not "stamped" anywhere to identify it as such and therefore I think you merely have to "deduce" a GS being a real GS based on certain equipment it should have.
Engine should be numbers matching and stamped LX, right?
Transmission should have a tag that says BS? How do I know if it is the original trans?
Rear end should be a limited slip? How do I indentify a posi and any way to know if it is original to the car?
Any other identifying equipment?
All of your help is certainly appreciated.

Re: Looking to buy a 65 GS. Need a little help
You can look for all the right options but that would only tell you if it was now optioned like a GS. Matching numbers of course but /dual carbs/posi rear end/wood steering wheel ... can be added to any 65.
