A LITTLE SURFACE RUST IN THE TRUNK BUT ABSOLUTELY NO MORE RUST. HEADLIGHT MOTOR IS GONE. THE BODY IS OUTSTANDING. TWO SMALL DINGS ON ONE DOORSKIN IS ABOUT ALL. CHROME IS EXCELLENT. THE CHROME PIECE BEHIND THE PASS SIDE REAR TIRE IS MISSING. HAS EXCELLENT BUICK RALLEY RIMS WITH ALL CENTER CAPS. A COUPLE OF THE GLASS PIECES IN THE CAPS ARE BROKEN BUT CAPS ARE ALL GOOD. ONE LITTLE SCRATH ON THE REAR BUMPER. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK,INTERIOR IS 100% DONE EXCEPT IT NEEDS A NEW WOOD KIT. SEATS,NOS SILVER HEADLINER,CARPET,DASHBOARDS,DOOR PANELS,CONSOLE,DASH AND COLUMN IS PERFECT. STEERING WHEEL HAS A COUPLE CRACKS. OVER $2200 SPENT ON INTERIOR. OPTIONS INCLUDE FACTORY CRUISE CONTROL,A/C, P/W, P/VENTS,P/ANT,P/TRUNK RELEASE, P/SEAT,REAR ARM REST,TILT,CHROME INTERIOR TRIM, THE P/ ANTENNA DOES NOT WORK AND I AM WORKING ON THE CRUISE RIGHT NOW. THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN PERFECT BUT THE SWITCHES ARE INTERMITTENT. NEEDS A TRUNK RUBBER SEAL AND DOOR WEATHERSTRIPPING. CAR HAS A 66 401 THAT WAS REBUILT 6 YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS PAINTED AND I JUST HAD THE CARTER CARB REBUILT.I PUT A ELECTRONIC IGNITION MODULE IN THE ORIGINAL DIST, YOU CAN'T TELL ITS DIFFERENT THAN POINTS/CONDENSOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE CAR GETS ALMOST 15 MPG. A/C WORKS AND I AM ABOUT TO RECHARGE IT. HEATER WORKS BUT THE CORE LEAKS A LITTLE SO I BYPASSED IT. RADIO DOES NOT WORK BUT IT IS ALL THERE. NO BROKEN CHROME. THE CAR COMES WITH A 65 GS PARTS CAR THAT IS MISSING SOME INTERIOR PARTS. I HAVE THE LX MOTOR WITH THE 2X4 SET UP WITH NOS AIR CLEANER AND 3 NEW AIR CLEANER ELEMENTS. THE BLOCK IS BORED 30 OVER AND IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC. HAVE ALL THE PARTS TO THE MOTOR AND THE CAR STILL HAS THE 355 POSI. IT ALSO HAS ALL NEW BRASS SLEEVED WHEEL CYLINDERS AND NEW PADS ECT. THE DRUMS ARE ALL TURNED ALSO. ALSO HAS THE BUICK RALLEY RIMS. ONLY THE DRIVERS GLASS IS BROKE. ALL OTHER GLASS IS GOOD. HAS NO A/C AND NO DELUXE MODEL AND HAS P/ ANT AND P/W. NO P/VENTS OR CRUISE. BODY IS REALLY ROUGH AND IT IS MISSING REAR BUMPER AND A LOT OF CHROME. HAS QUITE A BIT OF RUST TOO. I WAS GOING TO KAKE MY GOOD 65 INTO A 65 GS BY USING THE PARTS CAR AND MOTOR. I ALREADY PUT THE GS GLOVE BOX DOOR IN. I JUST WON FIRST PLACE IN THE 17TH ANNUAL ALBUQUERQUE NM MUSEUM CAR SHOW WITH MY SILVER 65. I BEAT ABOUT 35 RESTORED CHEVY AND MOPAR CARS. THE SILVER CAR NEEDS SHOCKS BUT THE FRONT END WAS REDONE WHEN THE MOTOR WAS REBUILT. I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT SPENDING THE TIME MONEY TO PUT THE GS STUFF ON THE SILVER CAR AND PAINT IT. I REALLY WANT A FASTER (12 SEC) A BODY CAR WITH A 455. SORRY THIS IS SO LONG WINDED BUT CALL ME AT 505-266-5049 AND MAKE AN OFFER.
