RivNut, thanks for your reply. I have read other posts by you on this forum and I value your opinion. I understand everything that you are saying. But could the car have been custom ordered with the single 4 barrel engine? I did not check to see if the transmission was BS coded. Does the plaque mean anything? Have you seen other Rivieras with that plaque? It was about 1 1/2 inches long by 3/4 inch wide. I did not take a picture of the plaque, otherwise I would post it. Regardless, it seems to be a somewhat rare car with the 425 engine and vinyl top. Jim

Hi. I'm new to the group. I'm looking at buying what appears to be a '65 Riviera GS with a LW code 425 numbers matching engine as stamped on the valley pan. I'm wondering how rare these are. It's Silver Cloud color with a vinyl top and has all of the GS badging, special upholstery, etc. Most of the articles that I have seen online say that all GS models had the dual carb engine. One article that I can not find now said that some were made with a single carb. And I know some non-GS models were made with the dual carb engine. This car does have a small plaque that says something like "Specially made for Jon Doe". Thoughts?
