  1. OK, thanks! something like this one? Will need to check boo, but says for 68 forward... https://www.ebay.com/itm/295495838752?hash=item44ccecac20:g:TEgAAOSwY4Rj1HvY&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Gi2qPEazTkKA0VHnAIhUftrdVXdOeaqn1ev7hD3FFrUl%2FgGJLxoVO3NmCYD4HPBiWGnWuCz%2BEgrtn2rGxFRzpcU2G1Zat1I0nqQ3mkFBdZRoAszY%2FuIB9QZfziloz2lBbkYKO7ZNmawH5QXxUfILM0Q1sGogHJoiFqNfImAbON4AWCetrCpcgIdNf%2BpWv3smRTuOq6iE8qVZPHa0%2Fu4Omep3RH11LyNXD%2B8nX2wTdniwwo89AZIVXvDX5W84cUppZwbBzrq9zZAHb%2FiBwURB2efLwCz6v74EaCOF2vo22EU|tkp%3ABk9SR5yG8KiJYg
  2. Where can the rear rubber seal be found for a 67?
  3. 19 produced in Twilight Turquoise.
  4. Thank you for the update. Congratulations Ken. Gorgeous vehicles! Gabriel
  5. Color is of increased importance IMO. To know rarity and hence potential impact on value and originality.
  6. 71 Trunk is Legend! Makes it look like a rocket ship. Factory louvers? Cmon!
  7. Is it me, or is this a drop top 67 Riviera on a T-Mobile commercial?
  8. 1965 Riviera Gran Sport in the gorgeous Midnight Aqua on eBay. About $100K... https://www.ebay.com/itm/394032893364?hash=item5bbe30cdb4:g:eEMAAOSwHc1iWbxx
  9. I am fairly certain, based on bumper alone, the 2022 BATMOBILE is modled after a 73 Buick Riviera…
  10. I have a 66 GS air cleaner, but CA version without the lid, so probably not what you are looking for.
  11. For those that sell parts professionally or on the side:
  12. I saw it with a for sale sign on the corner out front a classic car restoration garage I had some grunt work at. It was a very basic 1965 401 white paint with blue interior. I thought to myself it looked medieval; something maybe Vlad the impaler would have driven. I had to have it! That non-Gran Sport beast tore down the road like a race horse on fire with a simple tap of the foot. Literally peeling out the whole way, wowwowowo. Later I found out that the design was indeed inspired by medieval armor. It was the first vehicle I purchased. Later I saw a Burnt Coral 73 with black interior (although it could have been burgundy as I never checked the tag back then) for sale, "what the hell is that?!" I thought. It made me think of what it might look like if you combine a corvette with a tank! A must buy. For many years I didn't know what other Rivieras looked like till I saw a triple Green 67 Black Plate. I would say the 66-67 is at the top for my personal taste (the 66 literally comes with a full phantom grill front), yet if I could I would combine my favorite features form 63-73 to make an ultimate ride. For some reason I have instantly embraced the styling of the early Rivieras at first sight. Most other body lines don't compare...
  13. O yeah, I saw that sell at the Mecum auction on TV the other day…
  14. Yeah, the 68 I recently sold had the front disc. Brake option (about 6% of production had) and I had another whole set off a GS. The problem is even if you found an original, if anything went bad that is not reproduced, you’d be screwed. Frankly IMO, the giant quality drums on the Rivieras are substantial and not worth upgrading. I would just keep original, yet I understand that’s not really what you are asking. Good luck on the Riviera adventure!
