Need Frame 1965 Buick Grand Sport

401nailhead
I own a 1965 Grand Sport 401 Nail-head 3 Speed Car. The frame is bad and I want to put another frame under it. What years are interchangeable? Is a convertible frame different?

Yes, that could be a nice car, pending on amount of time and money wanting to spend. https://lunnysauto.com/detail/1965-B...276079891.html Here's one up to par with more money invested than asking price. Lines remind me of the SS Chevelles which would probably be a more realistic frame to look for, meaning more plentiful. Does it have motor? Again the Chevy 396 CID seems could fit with minimum fuss.

If the body could be rotary restored- may pay to buy a complete Chevelle for frame/parts? https://forums.aaca.org/topic/2427-s...-similarities/

I am sure the Buick specials of those years will work. some people would like you to believe that the convertiables had different frames but they didn't really.

By the way thisn't the buick site you want to be a part of.
