Dynaflash8 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 On 10/19/2016 at 8:35 AM, RivNut said: I've found that you can usually find a competent upholster in most cities that can easily replicate any interior if they have something from which to work. If there's anything left of the original, then they can reproduce what you need. I've found it easier / less expensive to sometimes just have the panels that are worn replaced rather than going for a complete re-po kit. On my '65, only the "seat buns" are worn. I got a quote to replace only those panels and use the backs and sides from the originals and it was much cheaper than buying a complete kit. If you are in Florida anywhere south of I-10 there is an upholstery restoration shop that can do it. They do great work at a decent price. Been in business since 1954. Located in Sarasota.

NC1968Riviera Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) On Bring a Trailer: 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport The Verde Green looks great on this car! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-buick-riviera-8/ This 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport is finished in Verde Green over a green interior and powered by numbers-matching 425ci Super Wildcat V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Factory equipment also includes a dual-quad intake, air conditioning, power steering, and 4-wheel finned aluminum drum brakes. This example was reportedly registered in California between 1965 and 1998. The seller has added only a handful of miles since purchasing the car in 2015, and a service performed earlier this year addressed the brake, fuel, and ignition systems as outlined below. This Riviera GS is now being offered with an original Protect-O-Plate, manuals, and a clear Virginia title.

surfgeek Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Mitch, I think that was a different car, although very similar to this one. I remember it popping up on Craigslist in multiple cities. Somebody on one of the facebook groups even came forward and said they knew the real owner of the car and that it was definitely NOT for sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
