  1. This 1965 Riviera just sold for $302,500 @ the Mecum Auction on Saturday Jan 13. I was there - it was a very nice car. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1098440/1965-buick-riviera-gs/?aa_id=515497-0 This 65 Riviera Custom sold for $77,000 - I didn't think it was that great - some flaws - IMO https://www.mecum.com/lots/1107439/1965-buick-riviera-custom/?aa_id=524115-0 This one sold for $38,000 - I did not see this one https://www.mecum.com/lots/1102788/1965-buick-riviera-gs/?aa_id=511456-0 There were also 4 1963 Rivieras which sold for between $8,000 and $51,700 Cheers all!
  2. 65 Riviera fuel pump on Craigslist https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/pts/d/akron-buick-401-nailhead-fuel-pump/7698046120.html
  3. I think you're right... it may be a questionable site.... geez... sorry gents! Lots of cars or at least photos of cars... The link dies after the auction on that vehicle ends. This one - auction ends tomorrow... is it legitimate? I'm not sure. I tried calling a few times... voice mail.. But it doesn't answer with a business name... just not available... so quite possibly, it's a scam site. https://repovault.us/product/1977-ford-bronco/
  4. Not sure but I found this on their web site.. https://repovault.us/ Contact 40 Barrett Road W Pinehurst, NC 28374 support@repovault.us +1 (910) 249-9523
  5. Jim is right on (again!) I have the original dealer invoice from Peacock Buick Inc. in Alexandria, VA. It shows: Radio @ $90.30 AC @ $430.00 w/w tires @ $43.32 Custom Seat belts & retainer @ $7.53 Tinted glass @ $43.00 O/S Mirror @ $37.63 Undercoat & Glaze @ $50.00 $713.71 in accessories.
  6. The first auction ended - I don't know how much it sold for. But there is another 65 - auction ends Dec 12/2023 @ 9:00am EST https://repovault.us/product/1965-buick-riviera-gran-sport/

  8. I don't know who's car this is but just noticed it at this auction site https://repovault.us/product/1965-buick-riviera-gran-sport-2/
  9. Thanks for the tips... much appreciated. I have the shop manual, so I'll have a look. Tom, after I removed the pump.. I put it back in to see if it would resist... It went back in easily.. so I'm hoping I won;t have to rotate the engine or anything We'll see...it likely won't be until December before I get the rebuild done.. just in time for skinned (cold) knuckles! Dad got this car from his Aunt in 1977. I'm pretty sure this fuel pump has never been touched...
  10. Update, fuel pump is out... as someone posted, major pita! But,I worked from under the car without jacking it up.. argh! Removed that bracket.... hoses... hose from tank started to leak.... pretty much non-stop so I put a bolt with a clamp around it. That hose will need replacing... Do I need to drain the tank? Will it leak non-stop? So much to learn! Some photos... 2nd is the pump cleaned up - looks pretty good and the bolts still have a lot of green paint on them. Now I need the kit and rebuild it... I think I should have worn rubber gloves!! Oh well.....
  11. A friend is a retired GM mechanic. He's offered to rebuild my existing pump. But he lives 100 miles away. So I'm not sure when I'll be able to remove the old one, get it to him, along with the rebuild kit. If he lived closer he would likely remove/install it for me. John (in this thread) is sourcing a rebuild kit for me and has offered his advice - and I appreciate it. Then I'll need to re-install it. I've heard that it can be a bit of a challenge getting back in place, so I hope to do it once with the original one. I appreciate all the input. I've been lucky with this car... so far only minor issues... but since I'm not mechanically astute, my hair catches fires easily! I've tossed around the idea of selling it a few times... but not sure. I have the original Bill of Sale from my Great Aunt in April 1965. It's an amazing car. There are not many in my part of the world... not like this one.
  12. Late to this but I bought the Hankook Kinergy in 2022... from the USA... I'm very happy with them.
  13. John I appreciate this... but the rebuild looks far beyond my capabilities - lol
  14. I appreciate your help!! I just looked underneath.. it has screws on it so is it original? Can it be rebuilt? I'd rather do that...
  15. I think mine is the original OEM factory pump. I may have found one at O'Reilly's and at Napa in Canada... although the US prices are much less! I need to take a good look at the one I currently have... Napa offers a few..... https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/precision-fuel-pumps/fuel-delivery/fuel-pumps---tanks/fuel-pump/fuel-pump/83db8e3f0135/precision-fuel-pump/pfp0/m23040/v/a/13725/automotive-car-1965-buick-riviera?q=fuel+pump&pos=0 or https://www.napacanada.com/en/p/DFPMF0148
