GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this fine gentleman’s hot rod 1965 Buick Skylark for your consideration. This Skylark comes finished in a stunning LeMans Blue exterior over a clean White interior and is powered by a freshly rebuilt 401 cubic inch Nailhead V8 producing an impressive 375 horsepower. The engine, originally sourced from a 1963 Buick Wildcat, has received extensive performance upgrades and fresh machining, including a polished crankshaft, cylinder angle performance valve job with new guides, decked heads for slightly increased compression, new bearings, gaskets, and seals. Additional engine upgrades include a high-volume T/A Performance oil pump, a new Kenne-Bell KB Mark 2A camshaft featuring .475-inch valve lift and 270-degree duration, new pushrods and hydraulic lifters, a new Edelbrock 750 CFM carburetor, Mallory electronic ignition, new timing gears and chain, and ceramic-coated headers. Exhaust exits through a new 2.5-inch T/A Performance mandrel-bent exhaust system. Power is sent through a freshly rebuilt 2026 Muncie wide-ratio 4-speed manual transmission featuring new synchronizers and a Hurst shifter. The drivetrain is further complemented by a new Hayes clutch, hydraulic throw-out bearing, and GM hydraulic clutch master cylinder. Additional new components include the starter, water pump, alternator, wiring harness, spark plugs, ignition wires, and distributor cap. The chassis has also received extensive attention, with a completely rebuilt front end featuring new upper and lower ball joints, tie rod ends, upper and lower control arm bushings, adjustment sleeves, idler arm assembly, and new bearings. All parts were sandblasted, refinished with PPG two-stage epoxy primer, and top-coated. This Skylark also features the rare non-deluxe rear taillights, adding a unique detail to an already distinctive Buick. With extensive mechanical, performance, and cosmetic work throughout, this is an impressive example of a classic Buick with serious performance upgrades and much more.

The 1965 Buick Skylark represented an important part of Buick’s intermediate-size lineup during the height of American muscle car development. Built on GM’s intermediate A-body platform, the Skylark combined upscale Buick styling and comfort with the potential for impressive V8 performance. The 1965 model year featured updated styling, including revised front and rear styling details, while offering buyers a variety of engine and transmission combinations. Buick’s legendary Nailhead V8 engines had already established a reputation for strong low-end torque and distinctive engineering, making them a popular choice among enthusiasts. Today, the 1965 Skylark remains a desirable classic, appreciated for its combination of traditional Buick refinement, timeless styling, and the performance potential that helped define the American muscle car era.
