Thanks for saving this thread! One of the most amazing restorations. Always loved silver and red bands. Was the dash recovered? If so - impeccable And just my opinion - the 3rd Gen. has the best floor shift/console design. Miss my '73 with (simulated) wood. Don't miss the big Federal bumpers though.

Your Copper is GORGEOUS. What color is the interior? Stay unique! Congratulations

Ahh, the dirty pool of dealerdom knows no depth. And so it goes on....

Quote from dealer: "1967 Buick Riviera. NO RESERVE, any bid 13k or above buys car...." http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Buick-Riviera-Base-Hardtop-2-Door-/252683874291?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3ad521eff3:g:TNkAAOSw2xRYU06f&item=252683874291 I thought "no reserve" meant any offer should be considered. Like one dollar. Is it open to anyone's interpretation?

Rather, this set is more like yours. A couple hundred hog rings. This vinyl is from OPGI. Perfect match to original. Take many of photos of your disassembly. You can do it!

If you are a mechanically inclined perfectioninst, have patience and very good set of vinyl and foam/padding I highly recommend it. I was intimidated at first but found it a pleasurable experience. Saved thousands from one quote. And it looked as good as factory. Heres a Camaro I did a couple years ago. Gotta have French seams

Wine + Land Yachts = expensive hobby. Sour Mash here. Cheers!!!

Notice they have a 2nd Gen. printed on all the boxes.

1965 Cruiser $389 - Oh well it IS Christmas time - makes a great gift! http://www.ebay.com/itm/BANDAI-BATTERY-OPERATED-TIN-BUICK-HIGH-WAY-PATROL-CAR-W-ORIGINAL-BOX-WORKING/272466811624?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3D7ae1b70ec8084fdfa4b53f9b1131305f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D371813679843

Indeed, my '73 only drank hi-octane. What a PITA

Hey - you gonna install that supah fine Recaro in dat Riv??? joking, nice shop!

Check out this pro's crate! Now that's the way

Kind'a difficult to hide the big box with jewelry in it...not for her.

Kudos to Dewey He overhauled my booster and hood latch perfect! http://www.boosterdeweyexchange.com/

'tis worthy to house a '63 Riv. then and now.

I concur with your assessment. The common dealer lacks command of terms. Yet, quite the beauty and the beast merged here....

Wife just reamed me a new one. I'm in the dog house for life....

I spy a Riviera. Good one.

Now that's a feat! That deck is good enough for a waxing. Impressive. How much for the dart board?

I know - I need a straight jacket!

I'm almost embarrassed to admit I finally bought possibly this last one on the planet. I got multiple re-chrome estimates ranging from $1000 - to $2000. - Such a delicate piece, running the risk getting a crack in the process. At least I have a spare or if someone needs one.

Black with tan-ish interior eternally classic. Cant go wrong in my opinion. I prefer a French seam as to piping. Of course, deviating from original scheme may lower your re-sale value - if you care. Good luck and share photos! BUICK SPECIAL BLACK W/ TAN TOP
