1965 Buick Special Convertible

Introducing a classic 1965 Buick Special Convertible, a remarkable piece of automotive history. This two-owner vehicle has been a Pennsylvania gem its entire life, consistently preserved in excellent condition with consistent garage storage. The car boasts a clean title and has never been involved in an accident. It features a single repaint in the original Silver Cloud hue, capturing the vintage charm of its era.

Exterior

The vehicle’s exterior is in impressive condition, devoid of significant dents or dings, and still retains a majority of its classic appeal. The iconic Buick front quarter venting, dressed in chrome, complements the stainless steel polished trim that extends to the rear. Notable features include the pristine grille, dual headlights, Skylark front fender badges, and a black canvas top. The canvas top remains in admirable condition with operational electrical mechanisms for raising and lowering. Turbine-style wheel covers are paired with thin whitewall tires, and the blemish-free front and rear bumpers complete this classic exterior look.

Interior

Inside, the Buick showcases a factory-original red vinyl interior that reflects its careful maintenance over the decades. The split bench front seats and the rear bench seat feature red ribbing with maroon highlights. The driver’s seat shows minor wear, including a seam separation and a tear, which are typical of its age. The dash chrome and trim remain in good condition, with all gauges and knobs functioning properly. The car’s interior is rounded off with red carpet floors and black rubber mats adorned with Buick tri-shield badges.

Drivetrain

Under the hood sits a unique component for mid-60s American automobiles: a 225ci V6 Buick engine adorned with its original turquoise coating and a distinctive black “Fireball V6” air cleaner assembly. The engine is coupled with a 2-speed ST300 automatic transmission and a 10 bolt 3.08 rear axle, offering a smooth and powerful driving experience.

Undercarriage

The vehicle’s undercarriage demonstrates its structural integrity, with minor rust typical of its era but generally clean and solid thanks to extensive factory-applied undercoating. Equipped with power drum brakes on all four corners, the car guarantees a safe and reliable drive. The front independent coil spring suspension and the rear 4-link coil spring arrangement enhance the ride quality.
