  1. fuel injection, disc brakes, quick ratio steering, and bilstein shocks are certainly the way to go if one wants to do worthwhile modifications for better driving and performance and handling
  2. I have always been looking for a perfect 64 console, even if I have to dye it. black
  3. I have a factory 64 riviera am fm radio that I had converted to high power electronic signal seeking. All of the dials work just like they did in 1964 but high powered sound, excellent am fm non drifting reception, and electronic tuning
  4. the placement of the riviera front and rear speakers actually makes for excellent sound with the right speakers and power. If you listened to my radio (exact factory look) you would be amazed, and without any modification to the body, everything bolts right in. factory original but modified Buick am fm radio, front 4x10 speaker three way, rear 6x9 speaker three way
  5. I would sell it as a package for 650. Hard to find all together like that and you spent good time and money putting it together. Perfect for the concours type who wants all of the factory options
  6. those turbines are wall art
  7. there is no substitute for power if one wants good sound. The original factory am fm radio does not hack it in any way, nor does the fm hold as early fm technology could not control the drift of the frequency. Hence one HAS to modify the original radio for it to be effective. Here is the info on the place we have used in the past for conversions of the original radio (and again you cannot tell that it is not an original factory radio. s&m electro-Tech inc. 8836 xylite st ne blaine, mn 55449. 763 780 2861. turnswitch@turnswitch.com
  8. we send the radios to electro tech, they install high performance high power guts, signal seeking, stereo and blue tooth. The radio remains in its absolutely stock dress. Then we replace the front and rear speakers with perfect fit 3 way high power. The result is fantastic
  9. recovering the Riv seats is not that easy if you want to make it look right. We have seen so so many BUTCH jobs, and all of them make the interior look so so bad
  10. agree, needs some whitewalls IMMEDIATELY!!!
  11. Or Family torture test to our 1960 Black Lesabre, was my sister Claire putting bite marks in between every line on the sculptured divider on the glove box! She was three at the time. My Dad had a heart attack!
  12. It certainly is an oddball, must have been special ordered. At least the car has air.

    paintwork done properly is very expensive these days, a gallon and a half of paint in metallic is over 1000 dollars.....criminal!

  16. snake oyl is great we have. been using them for years, THEY even had the oft broken retractor covers for the 65 models!
  17. no need for a tach on an automatic anyway!!!!
  18. is there a link for pictures, Tom?
  19. just a casual observation, please correct me if I am wrong, in no particular order (some have already been mentioned) 1 clock arm broken 2 wheel center caps incorrect 3 the cowl grill is all chrome not painted and chrome 4. steering wheel has been switched (always matched the interior color or were wood style 5 mismatched right exterior mirror 6 radiator sticker is missing 7 serial number plate is very old looking and slopped with newly swabbed black paint 8 incorrect radiator hose clamps installed 9 the trunk liner and the trunk cardboard are both the incorrect color 10 the seats have been reupholstered (looks like the door panels as well, seem too thick) Don't get me wrong, a beautiful car that anyone would be proud to own, but NO WAY 810 miles
  20. no way it has 810 miles, too much has been done to it. It is very clean though
