I don't even have a tilt wheel and I have this problem. Passenger side brake light doesn't go on. Wish the wiring under the column was easier to access, my back aches every time I think about it.

You mean "ugly" Wowwwww. Starsky and Hutch went too far.

You get 400 points from me - stunning!

Those leather seats should look nice after a good reconditioning/cleaning. Same with the engine bay and trunk. I like it. Everything is there.

Also that black 65 has hub caps. I figured all GS cars came with the rally wheels??

Lovely original 65 Riviera on Bring a Trailer up for auction! I nearly put my car on there last month so I'm really curious how the bidders respond to this one. http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-buick-riviera-3/

Sounds like the seller owns two other Rivis and is selling his 67. Fresh paint. Windshield crack. The Star Wars air cleaner is off and unrestored (that'd be a mint if it was good). Iffy aftermarket wheels. But overall, really nice condition driver car. Just a couple of weeks ago, I nearly listed my 64 on there. Backed out before sending them a full batch of photos. I don't find they get good prices on 60s American cars. Maybe this one will prove me wrong! http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-buick-riviera-2/

The data plate I think shows this was originally a white car too, although I LOVE Bamboo Cream. If you're looking for top dollar, a color change doesn't help, even when it's a factory color like this. That said, if I didn't have my car, I would absolutely be bidding on this one.

That is hot!

It was topping out at about $35K on ebay. It's nice and a rare color. I think it's a good buy at that price. I guess if he wants big bucks he should try for Barrett-Jackson.

Wish mine looked that nice.

The new battery helped a lot. I could tell immediately it was getting more juice to the starter. Holding off on the solenoid unless it acts up. Thanks gang.

I think I'm going to go ahead and get a new battery anyhow. that's a lot easier and not too $$

Yeah I keep a tender on the battery. It is a 2013 battery and you are quite possible right, it might be too old. The sticking ignition is pretty common for a bad battery, too!

The condition is that when I am starting it, and you turn the key back off before it turns over, the ignition continues to fire despite you turning the key to off.

Sorry dumb question. I bought a new solenoid - since installing a Pertronix and new high-po coil, the ignition likes to stick a little more often than before and I'm thinking a new solenoid on the starter is due. I just have searched from the view above and the close view below and can't see where the starter motor and solenoid is?? I am guessing it's underneath on the driver side? I have not put the front on jack stands yet, but anyone with some advice would be great. You guys are the best.

OPGI lists 55-R102 Bilstein for the rears. 55-R101 for the fronts. Yeah, pricey. More than $100 each.

I don't see Bilstein as having any shocks for us, according to their online catalog. I have been planning on getting new shocks too but wasn't sure what to get. My main concern is fit, I don't want the mechanic to bi%#$ about installation. My thought had been just to go to Les Schwab, believe or not, and see what they might do. Any suggestions??

Mine is lowered only 1 inch, but already I can't get my jack to clear the exhaust. No scraping though.

We've had the rainiest winter on record here in Seattle, but the sun finally peeked out yesterday so I took my 64 down to the marina and the beach. Just got her back from the mechanic after a tune up and Pertronix install.

Yeah, when he mentioned the work hours, my eyes bulged. That's a lot of $$$. When you spend that much, you get whatever the heck you want! I like how so much of this car is still stock, I respect that.

I'm in the Edmonds area. That looks like a great buy, well done!

This type of ad strikes me as the "wife told him to sell it, so he put it out there" with a price that won't get a bite, but he can go back to the wife and say, "oops, well I tried!"

Well it's already at $9,600 so yeah I'm probably being too harsh on it, the engine bay just really put me off and the seats. I'm all for a rising tide, so I hope it sells for a ton!

I agree, I consider this an under $10K car. I suspect the seller does not.
