BEAUTIFUL 1965 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT TRIBUTE WITH DUAL QUADS & ALUMINUM FINNED VALVE COVERS. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2011. I SAVED IT FROM A VERY LONG STORAGE IN A MICHIGAN BARN. IT HADN'T BEEN REGISTERED SINCE 1982. BUT TO THE OWNERS CREDIT. HE DID START IT AND YARD DRIVE IT PERIODICALLY. HE WAS THE 2ND OWNER OF THE CAR & CLAIMED THE MILAGE WAS CORRECT. BUT SHOWED NO PROOF OF IT. THE PAINT WAS VERY DULL. BUT IT ONLY HAD SOME MINOR RUST IN THE LOWER REAR 1/4'S. WHICH I HAD PROPERLY REPAIRED PRIOR TO PAINT. THE LT CODE 401ci NAILHEAD RUNS STRONG! MILD CAM, ALUMINUM VALVE COVERS & DUAL QUADS (WITH RECHROMED AIR CLEANER) WERE INSTALLED IN 2012. NO LEAKS. NO ISSUES. 4 NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, ALL 4 DRUMS TURNED & NEW FRONT BRAKE HOSES IN 2014. REPAINTED IN 2013. PPG BASE COAT CLEAR COAT WAS USED. IT CAME OUT VERY NICE! IT IS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW & HAS A MIRROR LIKE FINISH. BOTH BUMPERS WERE RECHROMED AT THAT TIME. IN 2014 I INSTALLED A NEW HEADLINER, SAIL PANELS, REAR SHELF PANEL & FRONT SEATS WERE REUPHOLSETERD. I PLANNED TO KEEP THIS CAR FOR A WHILE. SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MYSELF A MILD CUSTOM GRAN SPORT THE WAY I WANTED IT. SINCE I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF WOODGRAIN. I CHOSE TO CHANGE THE INTERIOR WOODGRAIN TO CARBON FIBER. THE CAR STARTS UP EASILY, RUNS GREAT & DRIVES STRAIGHT! THE REAR MUFFLER WAS REMOVED & IS RUNNING ON THE TWO SMALLER RESONATOR MUFFLERS. I DID THIS TO GIVE IT A DEEPER THROATY TONE. I THINK IT SOUNDS GREAT! ITEMS THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION. THE HEADLAMP MOTOR HAS BEEN PULLED & NEEDS TO BE REBUILT (OR CONVERTED TO NEWER STYLE MOTORS TO OPEN THE HEADLAMP DOORS). THE CLAMSHELLS OPEN & CLOSE MANUALLY VERY EASILY. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT CANCEL. SO YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY CANCEL IT. THE POWER DRIVER SEAT STOPPED WORKING EARLIER THIS YEAR. ALL 4 POWER WINDOW MOTORS WORK. BUT THE RIGHT REAR NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED. SEEMS TO HAVE GONE OFF TRACK. BUT IS SITTING IN THE CLOSED POSITION WITH NO ISSUE. THE A/C COMPRESSOR & CONDENSER WERE REMOVED. BUT WILL BE INCLUED IN THE SALE. I KEPT THE COMPRESSOR OFF BECAUSE IT BLOCKED THE VALVE COVERS. I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS BETTER WITHOUT IT. ORIGINAL RADIO WORKS BUT NEEDS NEW SPEAKERS. I PLANNED TO UPDATE THE AUDIO SYSTEM BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. SO THAT WILL BE LEFT UP TO THE NEW OWNER. YES, THIS CAR COULD USE A FEW THINGS. BUT NOTHING THAT TAKES AWAY FROM IT'S BEAUTY. IT'S NOT A #1 SHOW CAR. BUT IT IS A GREAT CAR THAT YOU CAN GET IN & DRIVE TO LOCAL CRUISE NIGHTS PROUDLY. SO WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I BELIEVE I HAVE PRICED IT QUITE FAIRLY. MORE PHOTOS & 2 VIDEOS OF IT RUNNING & DRIVING ARE AVAILABLE. ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS PLEASE. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ALL SERIOUS QUESTIONS. I CAN ASSIST WITH ANY INSPECTIONS & SHIPPING AT THE BUYERS EXPENSE. I CAN ALSO RECOMMEND A TRANSPORT BROKER THAT I'VE USED IN THE PAST. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS & HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE AN OFFER UNLESS YOU ARE READY TO MAKE THIS PURCHASE. THANK YOU FOR VIEWING.
