1965 Gran Sport with the old 401ci "nailhead" V-8. Almost bought one many yrs go to rebuild, with a bad motor.
That is one gorgeous automobile.

I was 10 years old when my dad bought a 1965 Buick Wildcat.
Oh my. It also has the 401 motor.
I own a 64 Skylark convertible... was my first car and my daily driver from 1989 to about 1994 or so... then I took it off the road... it’s been sitting get in a barn... I want to do something with it... but unlike a stupid 57 Chevy... or a Chevelle, you can’t really find decent rear quarterpanels... I was pretty lucky in that a big Buick restoration parts seller was near my in Neshaminy Station, NJ.
My uncle used to own a ‘65 Wildcat 2-door. It had a 401 under the hood, though he swore up and down it was a “445.”
I guess he didn’t know that the number on the air cleaner referred to the engine’s torque output rather than its displacement.
And if I had to have a Buick, I’d want a ‘63 Riviera myself.
