A classic Buick is about buying style and power. And with this 1965 Buick Special Convertible, you get all of that great vintage attitude and an affordable price. While the Special shared its A-body platform with cars like the Chevrolet Chevelle, the more expensive Buicks seemed to instantly showcase its premium attitude with a few more curves in its sheet metal. You see it in the profile with the artful wheel wells, and the trim line that starts at the... front fender and runs like an unbroken line until tapers off into the rear end-cap. Plus, this premium feeling is heightened by the factory-correct Champagne Mist paint that has an upper class name and a golden hue. As you look at the details, there's plenty of evidence this has led a well-respected life. You see it how nicely many of the signature pieces fit like the long hood, curved deck lid, and those big chrome bumpers. Even the details are right, like the portholes in the fender trim and the iconic Rallye wheels. A classic convertible needs an interior this distinctive. The tri-tone earth-tones on both rows of seats are sure to catch some eyes. Like any good '60s American car, there's plenty of room for family and friends. So there will always be someone to share this unique interior. More than just the seats, the door panels, carpeting, and dash all coordinate nicely, and they all have the vintage look that's part of this convertible's overall period-correct attitude. During this era of cruisers, the driver was king. That's why the instruments take up nearly the whole dash. They include everything from the ultra-wide speedometer, to the provisions for air conditioning. And that power convertible switch means it's easy to share all of this with the world. Under the hood is Buick's 300 cubic-inch V8. This is the correct motor for this 400-series Special, and it makes a nice tone out of the dual exhaust. It looks clean and runs smooth, which is everything you want in a Buick. Combine this with power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission, and this Super is a true all-day cruiser. This is an affordable classic that you get to revel in its vintage style and even its rarity (only 3,365 V8 Special drop tops were made in '65.) So don't let something this unique and affordable slip away. Call now!
