1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport
VIN: 444375Z116220
When Buick Management authorized engines up to 400 cid in its intermediate cars, Buick seized the chance to create its first muscle car...The 1965 Buick Skylark Gran Sport! The divisions big block V-8, better known as the nailhead, actually displaced 401cid. Buick simply renamed it the "400". Teamed with a heavy duty radiator, four-barrel carburetor, 10.25:1 compression, hydraulic lifters and dual exhaust, the Nailhead was rated at 325bhp! The "Wildcat 455" on the air cleaner referred to the engine's massive torque rating.
To Buick's credit, the Gran Sport received more than just an engine transplant. All 1965 Buick Gran Sports were built on the convertible beefed-up frame for better rigidity, special valved shocks and heavy duty springs. Buick added a thick anti-roll bar up front and enhanced the rear suspension with added links to fight axle windup and differential twist. Braking was improved with enlarged front wheel cylinders.
