Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1965 Buick
Skylark GS.
HISTORY
Beginning with the 1964 model year, the dressed-up compact Skylark
trim level had enough sales to merit its own separate line.Along
with the lower-priced Special from which it was derived, the model
would move to a new 115 in (2,921 mm) wheelbase intermediate-size
chassis shared with the Oldsmobile F-85, Pontiac Tempest, and new
Chevrolet Chevelle. Both Buicks had a length of 203.5 in (5,169
mm).
The standard 215-cubic-inch-displacement, aluminum-block V8 engine
was discontinued, and the associated tooling eventually was sold to
the British manufacturer, Rover. Rover initially improved and
produced the Rover V8 engine, manufacturing several additional
versions for use in its sedans, Land Rover sport utility vehicles
and trucks until 2006.
In its place was a new 225-cubic-inch (3,690 cm3),
all-cast-iron-block V6 with a Rochester 1-barrel carburetor that
generated 155 hp (116 kW) at 4400 rpm. It was almost 30 cu. in.
larger than a prior, unrelated 196 cubic inches (3,210 cm3) V6
introduced for the 1962 model year. The 225 was basically a Buick
300 CID V8 engine, less two cylinders. The basic V8 option was a
300-cubic-inch, with cast-iron-block, aluminum-heads, and a
Rochester 2-barrel carburetor that generated 210 hp (160 kW) at
4600 rpm. A high performance version was offered with 11:1
compression and a 4-barrel carburetor, generating 250 hp (190 kW).
A long-throw, 4-speed Hurst shifter was available. For the 1965
model, cast-iron blocks and heads were used for all engines.
