  1. https://norfolk.craigslist.org/cto/d/maple-1955-buick-super/7725678544.html 1955 Buick Super - $15,000 (Maple) © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap 1955 buick super condition: good cylinders: 8 cylinders drive: rwd fuel: gas odometer: 123456 paint color: red title status: clean transmission: automatic type: coupe 1955 Buick Super. Very nice car for the age, engine is a 322 cu in nailhead V-8. I had the transmission rebuilt about 3000 miles ago. New gas tank, brakes redone and lots of small stuff repaired or replaced. The car needs door pins replaced, have two sets. Starting to get a couple rust bubbles in the roof. Great car for someone who wants a great driving car to tinker with. Interior is in very good shape with good headliner. Body is straight. Have a couple pieces of chrome off that are getting worked on. $15,000 OBO. Would like to trade, open to a Jeep or something to tow behind my motorhome. Will not respond to offers with you even looking at the car.
  2. Good question, will have to look when I go over to the storage building later today!
  3. I think I had to wipe down the black at least 3 times last weekend while it was in the garage. The red one just sat there looking good. Pretty sure I know which one I will be keeping long term, lol.
  4. I think I will go with 225's, Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy!
  5. Which are correct for a 65, 225/75/15 or 215/75/15? Or are either one correct?
  6. Summit has the same price on the tires, and usually offers free shipping (at least in the US), they probably drop ship from Diamond Back.
  7. Thanks Tom. Do you happen to have one I can buy? Thanks, Chris
  8. I am sure it is just me, but I read this ad and think, this doesn't sound like an original owner ( who would be at least 70 years old), sounds more like a guy bought it from the original owner and is flipping it. https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/d/arlington-heights-1969-buick-riviera/7724523626.html 1969 Buick Riviera ORIGINAL OWNER 65,000 miles - $26,500 (Arlington Heights) © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap 1968 Buick fuel: gas odometer: 65000 title status: clean transmission: automatic Spring is here!

  9. Thanks Craig and Ed, while I like the black with the whitewalls, I like it better with red lines. :>)
  10. Well, those pics are after the first weekend of cleaning, not before. Here is an example of a before and after, that pretty much applies to all of the interior. You can't see the large pile of 0000 steel wool in the picture. :>) And also an engine picture.
  11. Ed, Can you share a link with us?
  12. I know those are the correct tires, and I will probably buy them for my red Riv when the time comes for new ones. Do you have a picture of the entire car? I would like to see how they look on a black car. I have seen the one stripe white walls and the red lines on dark cars, and I really like the red lines.

  14. I purchased it two weeks ago from a gentleman in Evansville IN and it arrived Saturday. Shout out to Cristina at Uberhaul transport for getting it picked up and delivered to me so quickly! Purchased from the 3rd owner, he owned it since 1990 and finished restoring it around 2000. He has only driven it a couple of thousand miles since then. He knew the 2nd owner, who purchased it in 71, and I have paperwork going back to the 70's. It has been in the Evansville area its entire life (until now). Needs a fair amount of deferred maintenance, heavy duty detailing and tlc from spending so much time sitting around. But that is the fun part, right? I am also thinking maybe some red line tires as well (even though they weren't available until 66, but I think they look great on black cars). Super loaded with nearly all options, including power vent windows, cruise, rear seat arm rest, etc. Factory triple black, numbers matching engine and carbs, haven't had a chance to check the distributor or transmission. Needs a full tune up badly, hasn't been done since the engine was rebuilt during the restoration. Haven't had a chance to drive it any further than from the delivery truck to the storage building due to weather. More pics as I continue my clean up.
  15. I will take one, PM sent.
  16. No, sorry Howard, got rid of most all of my 61 cars and parts years ago.

  18. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/d/fallbrook-1963-buick-riviera-2owner-ca/7721368100.html 1963 Buick Riviera 2owner Ca. Car Original Leather RARE Turbine Wheels - $31,900 (fallbrook) © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap 1963 Buick Riviera condition: excellent cylinders: 8 cylinders drive: rwd fuel: gas odometer: 15300 paint color: black title status: clean transmission: automatic I will NOT reply to "do you still have it". If the ad is running, I still have the car. This California, 1963 Buick Riviera is powered by the original 401cid/425 6.6-liter nailhead Buick engine with the original rebuilt Twin Turbine Dynaflow automatic transmission. The car is its original black with one repaint. Exposing the car to bare metal indicated there was never any body damage. This Riviera has the original red leather interior and is in exceptional condition (no tears or cracks). This is a 2-owner California car, I have owned this car 11 years. The sale includes the original bill of sale from the dealer, original black California plates, and pink slip and has a clean title. Equipment includes real “turbine” Buick wheels offered exclusively to Riviera, rare and prized by collectors today. Power steering, power brakes, tilt wheel, remote trunk opener, power windows and power seat, remote adjustable outside mirror, Buick console mounted tachometer, original Sonomatic radio and power antenna. Note the rare Buick rocker trim molding that is in exceptional condition (well over 1K if you can find them). Original Buick floor mats. Speed-minder option for the speedometer. Speedometer shows a bit over 15,000 miles however actual mileage is probably around 25k to 35k knowing the history of this car. I have only driven it 1100 miles in 11 years. I have the original owner’s manual and dealer bill of sale. New Cooper tires with about 150 miles on them. As much as I enjoy this car, I do not drive it much. As I look at the date on my driver's license, it is time to let it go to someone who can enjoy it. The Riviera has been a very reliable driver. Anything needed has been tended to. The car has never had any rust or body damage and when it was professionally painted, it was taken down to bare metal of which I have photos. Would I dare drive it from coast to coast…I would. The speedometer cable was making noise and I had it replaced, now it works intermittently. The power antenna is obstinate however the motor works. Springs and shocks are new. All chrome is fresh and extremely well done. All the power windows work well, and the glass is excellent. Transmission gone through about 400 miles ago. No cracks, tears or damage in the leather seats or dashboard. The original steering wheel is exceptionally nice. This Riviera has the factory optional dual trumpet horns that I removed to paint but never got around to it, they are included with the car. Most Riviera glove box doors are bent on the left side from forcing it open, note this one is perfect. Call for details 760 468-7096 $31,900.00 or reasonable offer
  19. that was what I was thinking too, so I had to buy it. Once I get it next to my red one I will figure out which one I like better and what my next steps are.
  20. No, seller's name was Robin. Thanks, Chris
  21. Thanks. No, he didn't save the radio, but I can find one easily enough.
