Nice '65 Gran Sport on CL

[68RIVGS]

Nice looking '65 Gran Sport reference posted on v8buick - looks pretty original, and the price seems reasonable.

Here's the CL link:

Oh I see the owner finally listed a price. The ad was up earlier in the week but without a price. It just said call or email and make an offer.

Looks like a great car. Why would they post pics on a trailer?? That makes it seem like less of a car.

I agree completely. Says it has been garaged all it's life, but you post pics outside on a trailer with straps across the painted areas? This guy did more damage to the car in a few weeks than the PO did in a few years. Still looks like a nice car. It is interesting for a car that was garaged all it's life to have the wood accents so faded and weathered. Hmmm.

I saw that only serious buyers are invited to inquire. The comments above appear non-serious, so - unqualified.

The link appears to have been taken down by its author. Perhaps the seller wasn't serious. :-)

Or it's already been sold. Some CL sellers are actually conscientious enough to remove their ads once the item has been sold.

Did anyone actually see this car? What was your opinion?

Paul,

I dont generally comment on cars for sale but since the listing has been removed it`s not likely any comments will affect the sale....the mileage was posted as 20K ish and the description implied the car was very original so it is not a stretch for a potential buyer to assume the mileage was accurate. But, I dont think so. Although most of the components appeared to be the original style it was obvious all seating surfaces had been re-upholstered and the interior had seen a substantial degree of weathering. Among other things I noticed the rear trunk lock cover was missing, etc...maybe 120K?? If the original exterior color is black this was a very unusual combination. I dont think I have ever seen an original black car with a Fawn cloth interior. Seems like that might have been a frequent color combo a buyer would have chosen back in the day but I dont recall ever seeing one I knew to be original.

I was thinking about driving over to see it. Because it was only like 60miles or so from me. But I decided not to make the drive, just certain things about the interior that didn't add up too me.

I spoke to the owner he said someone called himself Richard "President of ROA" from Colorado purchased the car for $25k,

He showed him that the engine was not the numbers matching original engine but it was a 425 did not say LX or not.

Didn't all add up with 22k miles? anyway it is gone, I believe. Paul
