This is my '65 Riviera. I originally bought her for myself when I turned 30. A year to the day later, she burned up (on my birthday) due to a wire loom shorting out in the trunk. As I had already rebuilt the front end, I decided to keep the chasis and replace the body. I found a suitable donor and in five weeks did a body off restoration. She looks okay, but is far from done. I need chrome work, interior work and eventually body work and paint. The nailhead was rebuilt in 2004. (Very costly rebuilding a nailhead) and I obtained a conversion kit to mount up a 700R4 Bowtie transmission. I enjoy having the extra gear on the freeway, but have no need for it in town.
If anybody needs Buick parts or suppliers, I know quite a few of them. I would also be willing to trade commercial printing for interior work in the Southern Oregon area. See you out there!
All cleaned up for a Sunday drive. The paint is a Midnight blue metallic. Looks black till it's in the light.
17" Torque Thrust IIs wrapped in Kumo tires. I know the Torque Thrusts are used a lot, but I feel for good reason. They made a huge difference .
