OK Ted: Yeah, I remember the burgundy 65 Wildcat. I forgot that it was a 3 on the tree. BTW, who would order a 65 Wildcat with a 3 on the tree and no power steering? I mean, maybe a lost leader for a very high volume Buick dealer perhaps? You got the burgundy, which is a spectacular color and a silver interior, which doesn't look poverty. Just a theory.... Besides music and heat what other options did this thing have? Mitch

OK Riviera People: Bob's excellent. Mitch
-
OK Lucas: Very very sharp. Now....to get the rest of an old interior to match the elegance of these! I have a 65 Riv, custom, and the interior will be transformed into a factory pattern with all leather, cut pile carpets and some sort of classy material for a headliner. It's really difficult to improve on the factory set-up.
I would have loved to see the 63 Riv Silver Arrow interior in other colors as silver ...just doesn't do it for me. Mitch

OK Buick People: I got a few rebuilding kits from Falcon Global. Knowledgeable with excellent service. Also, a competitive price. Mitch
-
OK Lamar: I gave him a call a few days ago and no response as of yet. Hope he's OK. Also, I was wondering if he changed his mind and put together this 66 Wildcat because I certainly would not have knocked it in the head.
I still need a set of Custom door panels with crank windows! Mitch
-
OK Buick People: Ted's presentation raises the bar. This car can be a really reliable daily driver without gobs of money spent on it....or can be taken to the next level. BTW, one can go to the bank with Ted as he will tell a prospect everything necessary for a fair and square deal!! Mitch

OK Riviera People: I sold a much better 65 Riv last December. A nice presentation too. 12K was all she wrote. Mitch
-
OK BC: While the drums are off for the initial physical inspection I'd suggest mike-ing the drums. I believe some states have a max of .60 that can be cut. Thin drums (and shoes) can cause brake fade too. Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: I'm wondering if sellers need a fishing license. This 63 Riv? A mess and much better than some. Even the good lookin' ones share the same maladies as this poor thing. Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: Matching numbers? Meaningless mythology that sucked the life out of the hobby for me. Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: BBB? Yeah, on a 65 Le Sabre but this? Mitch
-
OK Charlie: I'll take all your 60 stuff. Pick it up at your place and give you da cash. Make me a deal! Mitch
-
OK Buick People: I like this car. I even have the identical 4719, same colors too with factory a/c. Unfortunately I'm not a prospect. I believe the money is $6,000. A 4 door post still ain't gettin' the love it rightly deserves. Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: That white 64 on the ebay looks yummy. All but 1 or 2 64 Rivs on the ebay (the black one in the snow) have NO bids. I suggest that the real money, what a legit prospect will pay in a reasonable period of time is DRAMATICALLY less than people's idea of how much they're worth. Mitch

OK Riviera People: I took the Roller Coaster 64 Riv that far down. My advise? Choose your battles carefully.
So, you may ask , "Why, Mitch, is it called the Roller Coaster 64 Riv"? Because the punch list of repairs starts out very high, goes down very fast and for some strange reason...it goes up even higher than the original list! Mitch

OK KR: I recently had a pair of First-Gen center links done by them. $275 each and they were excellent. The cheapest price around too. A great place and....I recommend them for all your suspension needs. I'm, going to rebuild the front end on my 98 Suburban in a few months and I'm getting my parts from them. Mitch
-
OK Buick People: Yes, it's nice. Unfortunately the seller's been trying to sell it for 2 years now. I say it goes away in a few days for about 7K. Whadda ya think? Mitch
-
OK Pete: I saw that too. Engine not running? The seller's a flip so he's trying to hedge his bet. I say, get it running, price it accordingly and disclose the issues. Who's gonna buy a 64 Wildcat sedan not running for $2,500?
BTW, a 64 Wildcat sedan with factory a/c and running strong? That's a damn good driving car! Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: Is this a tilt? The pictures don't reveal that much. I think it's straight non-tilt but memory doesn't serve me well. This Riv is a standard, crank windows, full tint and a/c. Medium equipment. Mitch
-
OK Riviera People: That black 65. Nice presentation, looks like the very very top of the heap. Non GS? Who cares! I believe the market is showing signs of skyrocketing on investment grade stuff and the number on this ? Really anyone's guess.
The 64? Funny, the same energy in the build yet the results are dramatically different. R-Ms are not my thing.

-
OK Riviera People: May I also ask if 64 and 65 take the same bushings? Mitch
-
OK Willis: Thanks. Sign up if you'd like. We'd love to have your input! Mitch
-
OK Chip: Careful on the selection because this particular driver's side unit has no hole for the power seat switch. At $90? I'll take as many as you can throw at me. Wait'a minute now. Don't throw these things around as they'll break. \Mitch

OK Riviera People: Rare Parts in Stockton, CA is fantastic. I had a pair of center links rebuilt at $275 each. I also purchased the inner and outer tie rod ends with sleeves. All prices were very competitive with other outfits and.....I trust their quality!! Mitch
63 back seat trim stupid oversight

OK Adrian: There is a sheet metal screw hiding behind the part that's flush with the door panel on the bottom. Mitch
