Guest Rob J Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm interested in figuring out the age demographic of us fellow Riv addicts. List your age, and what cars you own...Currently I'm 43, and have 2 1965 Riv's. One a base 401 car, the other a 1965 GS. I also own an all original, survivor, mint condition 1987 Buick Grand National with only 16k miles on the clock.Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweepspear Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'll be 52 this coming April, and own a '70 Riviera. Other Rivieras I've owned in the past are listed in my signature below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I am 53. I have a fairly loaded 63 Riviera, a 55 Chevy Bel Air sport coupe, a 56 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe, a 57 Chevy Bel Air Sport Sedan, and a 58 Chevy Apache big window short wide. Only one Buick. Not quite the purist you other guys are. Sold all my Camaros, Chevelles and Impalas, but still have too many projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm 64, bought the Riviera when I was 30. I liked the idea that Buick had built a small personal car, by my standards, anyway. The weather is still nice here, not getting snowed like Albany (there is a lot of that going on there) so we are taking the Impala SS over to the next town for lunch. Interesting that the '94 Impala was 14 years old when I bought it, just like the Riviera.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomuchvinyl Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm 56 and have a '64 Riv. I remember walking by a neighbors home on the way to school and they had a new silver '63. I fell in love with them on the spot and managed to get mine in 2007. Nice 70 K original with most options except autotronic eye and like most Pacific Northwest cars, no A/C.

petelempert Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I just turned 50. My Riv is a 63...same year as me. When I was a boy, a neighbor had a black 63 that I worshipped. When complete, my 63 will be silver with a black interior.I have a 1968 Shelby GT-350 that I bought in 1979. Acapulco blue with a tan interior. It is simple and brutal. It was my first car. Still have it.I have a 1972 442 convertible that is one of the sweetest driving cars I've every owned. It is copper bronze with a white interior. Driving it with the top down is sublime.My daily driver is an 07 GT Mustang with some slight modifications. It is black on black. It's....very responsive.

Guest REX STALLION Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I`m 56 , I had a `64 when I was 28. It was the right car at the wrong time, the kids were little and it was a drain on the family budget...sold. I waited until I was 50 and got another `64,this one stays. Back in the `70s I swapped my `67 Camero for a `63 Riv for a night...I didn`t want to give it back ! Been hooked ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lasse Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Turning 37 this summer, and my Princess is a -63. She's my first American ride and we ended up together 2 years ago because of my raging age-, identity- & whatnot crisis.It got to the point where I told my wife that this crisis will now be resolved with one of the following:A) I get a mistress I get a nice heroine addictionC) I buy an American project carI don't know if this was the cheapest or wisest choice but I'm happy!

Guest brivi65 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thanks Gseago, it is a true barn find, well a behind a barn find, I saw it and couldn't let it rot away, so I popped down $500 and took it out of the hole it was in, after a battery and hooking up a gas can she fired right up and I drove it to the backyard, after pulling the vinyl top off I have found some unwelcome rust, but thats all, everything else is solid. It's a high comperession 425 with 82,000 one owner miles, she a tank! Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrlforfun Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 OK Riviera People: I'm 61. I had my first 63 Riv in 1970 at the age of 18. Since then there have been maybe a few years in the 70's I have not owned one. Currently I have 22 examples. 7 63's, 9 64's and 6 65's. A few are nice, most are running beaters and believe it or not, not that many parts cars. Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrlforfun Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 OK Rob: You may or not know that the First-Gen Riv is not my main squeeze. The 1960 Buick is. I have 60 examples of the 1960 Buick. I really didn't have but 3 First Gen Rivs in 2004. Had I started earlier with the Riviera collecting I'm sure I would be over 100 by now. "Padiction"...half passion, half addiction. I may be full of what ever you may want to call it but there's one thing anyone can take to the bank with me and that is this....when I say having all thise heaps is fun....it's fun! Mitch.
