Hello, my fellow Rivi enthusiasts! I just wanted to share this cool Rivi.
When I bought the car, the previous owner had already customized it, so I felt no guilt about taking it to the next level. I prefer the two-tone interior in this color combination; what are your thoughts? Special thanks to Tim Nugent (aka Tenugent) for the woodwork; he's a cool guy, and his work is fantastic and, in my opinion, a thousand times nicer than the original inlays.

I recently acquired this car along with another from an estate. That day I never planned on buying two cars but I fell in love with this one and had to have it. Reality kicked in and I cannot keep them both so I'm hanging on to whichever one doesn't sell.
I don't know much about this era of Jaguars however I was told that a 1961 Mark IX with a manual transmission and overdrive was a rare find. The interior shows well, the incredible hand-carved wood is unrestored, and the car is the perfect candidate to make a nice driver. Clean Title. The previous owner owned it for 30+ years.
Located in Berkeley, CA
Price: $19500

Thanks guys! Rear window defroster makes sense given that I don’t have that option. But I’ll check to see if it’s hot and trace it back too.
The carpet was from Clark’s Corvair. I couldn’t be happier with their selection products for Rivieras

Happy Easter! I figured it’s a good day to ask all you experts a silly question. Does anyone know what this plug is for? It’s currently disconnected under my dash and I can’t figure out what or where it connects to it. 1965 Riviera

Thanks!

Sorry for the newbie question, does anyone know what this is?
-
Wow! You guys are great! Thanks for the help!

For 1965 Rivi: Does anyone know where these are supposed to be installed? I had my rear seats reupholstered and frames powder coated, and I know these brackets came from somewhere in the rear seat area. Just can’t seem to remember exactly where.

I couldn’t find holes in the floor for these to fit in. My best guess is that they are brackets for the rear upper cushion, but I can’t identify where they are supposed to mount to.

Does anyone have for sale a set of those brittle lower seat trim pieces that wrap around the power seat for a 65 Riviera?

I'm looking to replace my clamshell headlight motor, and from what I gather i have two options. A refurbished motor. Or a custom motor made by Paul Duran in California. Has anyone had any experience with using Pauls motors? Or any recommendations as to which motor I should go with.

A fellow ROA member (who wishes to remain retired from making any more haha) was kind enough to make these incredible custom wood inserts for my 65 Riviera. The fitment, quality, and look exceeded my expectations. I thought it was worth sharing with my fellow Riviera enthusiasts. I'm truly thankful and I couldn't be happier. And even more happy for making a great friend in the process.

I plan on restoring my headliner, survivors, doorpanels, and possibly new seat covers. I'm leaning towards using Corvair (mostly because I try to support small businesses) but I would like to know if anyone has any opinion on these two companies, or any others that supply interiors for Rivieras? I'm looking for the highest quality product available.

No. Same screen name.

Now I just have to find some steel wheels for these to go on. Anyone know of a good source for some steel wheels? And what's the factory correct size for a 65 Riviera?
-

Nice find! You literally bought the last two about 2 minutes before I was going to buy them. I was so disappointed at the time. But somehow by an amazing stoke of luck 4 NOS (still in the box!) showed up on ebay the very next day. And this time I didn't hesitate.

I decided to reach out to J&R to see if I can have the drums restored.
-
Interesting! I had no idea there were different sizes. What size were the rally wheels from 65-67?
-
Has anyone installed these on their 65 Riv while keeping the stock Buick 15" Rally wheel? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-140-13028/year/1965/make/buick/model/riviera
I'm thinking about purchasing a set however some of the reviews state that they don't fit, while others say that they fit fine with the stock 15" wheels.

Tom,
You may have saved me on this one. Knowing myself I would have taken the rubber mallet directly to the cap without even considering a strategy like yours. Thank you for the sound advice, I'll let you know how it goes.
-
I appreciate all the responses! I ended up finding an unused set (still in the original box!) on ebay. Even though it was much more than I ever anticipated on spending I just couldn't pass it up. Thanks guys

Has anyone had their rear main seal and oil pan gasket replaced on a 65 Riviera 401 Nailhead? Curious to know how many hours it would take a good mechanic to do the job?
