If there are no non-ethanol gas stations in your area try a small airport. They sell 100 LL (100 octane low lead). Just take gas cans. A little pricey at $6.00 per gallon but stock original Riv's love it.

It looked sharp inside and out. I think they were asking $26,000 ish

If you like the custom interior, this might be worth checking out.

Heck, I would say a road trip to Vegas is worth doing, even if you don't like the interior! :>)
In the photo of it on the lift....is the rear lift point safe to lift it in that spot? It's not the frame, is it on the pinch weld?

The beautiful arctic white 1964 Buick Riviera you see next to this post won the 'Most Original/Unrestored' award!
-
I wonder if it is a real GS. Note the skylark grill.
And it looks like the numbers on the hood are '554'?
-
Zoom in on your original pic and see if it's legible!....
Sorry.I didn't for that car,the owner was busy cleaning it and I did not want to be on his way. -
Are you sure that's not reversed? I thought the higher the octane the higher the ethanol content.

Darn! I was there Saturday and thought I covered every square inch of Carlisle looking for a 68-69 Buick GS convertible and never saw that olive green beauty midway through your pics. By chance did you snap a pic of the for sale sign with the #????
-
GS emblem is missing on driver's side and crooked on the left

Congrats and welcome. You will find it enjoyable learning all the ins and outs of the Riv. When you can't figure out on your own there are a bunch of amazingly nice and understanding folks on here that have plenty of knowledge, patience and understanding all willing to help us out!

I sent him a PM and asked if he had more pics and does it run? He said no more pics and does not run. I lost interest. But if someone in the area could check it out....
-
Yeah, either an A or wrong year.
Not much chance of recovery if they can't get the year/model correct. If it's a 1930, it's not a Model T, and if it's a Model T, it's not a 1930... -
I just read this online. Keep an eye out for it: WILLOW STREET: Southern Regional Police are investigating the theft of a green 1930 Ford Model T sedan stored in a Haulmark trailer in southern Willow Street. Police said the car was taken between July 28 and Wednesday and are asking anyone with information about the theft to contact them at (717) 872-0536. Investigators said they are reviewing security camera video.

It's not that bad. I've seen worse. If you can weld in patch panels and do the metal work yourself, that will reduce cost to repair rust out.
The most common cause of the trunk and floor rusting out is water leaking in at the back window, the front windshield, and a leaking heater core.
Check them in that order. Remove the stainless trim around the windows and look at the body down in the corners. Get in the trunk with the trim off and look up for light shining through.
Once the water gets in, the rug and padding holds it there next to the metal and it rusts out.
Try not to take too much apart at one time. Work on small projects. Drive the car between projects. Then go do another project. Driving the car is fun and will keep you motivated to tackle the next project.
Good points. I just looked at a base 65 Riv with a 425. Looks like the previous owner kept it outside 24/7. The paint on the trunk, roof and hood has peeled off but funny thing is no rust on the bare metal. However, lots of thick crusty surface rust on everything metal on the bottom of the car. The rear of the roof had the remnants of duct tape from one end to the other which was clearly used to hold plastic over the rear window. The window gasket was gone. Water seeped into every crevice. All the wood trim inside was warped. Good points was no holes like this car pictured. Motor in good shape and numbers matching. The biggest drawback was the $8,000 price he thinks he's going to get.

The very first thing you should do is join the ROA! Well worth it!

I always loved WD-40. Best engine degreaser and wheel cleaner around.

is it locked preventing door to close?

I got something done today. Now the turn signals work, windshield washer works, brake lights work;)
I removed the rear shocks, and started to take the front suspension apart.
I noticed that the springs are heated to get the car low. How much does this effect on the handling? I know its not good, but I was thinking about installing air suspension next winter, so I need to manage one summer with those springs if possible.
BTW its nice to work on a california car, all the bolts come loose easy. No rusted bolts because of the salted roads..

Just came across your post today after a search on 'Windshield Washer Motor' since mine just stopped working. When I hit the washer button on the dash the fluid no longer squirts out. How did you fix yours? Anything I should look for first or a checklist?

Looks like you have a small radiator leak. Might want to add a can of Bar's Leaks Liquid Copper Block Seal Intake & Radiator Stop Leak before your journey and be sure to stock a couple gallons 50/50 coolant JIC. You might want to change out that rad cap too. Safe travels!

Peak Green. Made for pre 95 cars. Add a bottle of NAPA Anti Corrosion and or a bottle of Red Line Water Wetter.
gas additives and ethanol

If you read the fine print on the websites almost all the "ethanol" fighting additives they will tell you that their product will help prevent metal corrosion but not prevent degradation to older plastic/rubber parts in the fuel system.
