You say it needs detailed, but that car looks pretty awesome to me like it sits! I agree about the redlines; I think they would look sharp. Thinking about doing the same on my white 65 when the time comes, but not sure
how they would look on a white car with a black vinyl top.
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.

I found a kit that has the check valve, seals, silencers, a well as the boot. Might as well do it all while it’s all apart. 😁
Ed,
Can you share a link with us?

Here’s a tire option for the 1965 Riviera. This picture is of Gord Wolfgang’s 1965 triple black 1965.
The following quote comes from Tom Mooney in an old post here on this forum.
”Blackwall tires were standard equipment. Optional and correct whitewall tires for the `65 were/are 8:45 X 15 triple stripe white walls.”
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.

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.

Good afternoon. I know this post been up for awhile, but I was wondering if you still have the two front doors panels ? Thanks
No, sorry Howard, got rid of most all of my 61 cars and parts years ago.

1963 Buick Riviera 2owner Ca. Car Original Leather RARE Turbine Wheels - $31,900 (fallbrook)
I will NOT reply to "do you still have it". If the ad is running, I still have the car.1963 Buick Rivieracondition: excellentcylinders: 8 cylindersdrive: rwdfuel: gasodometer: 15300paint color: blacktitle status: cleantransmission: automatic
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.

$31,900.00 or reasonable offer-

Triple black '65 Riviera GS Super Wildcat -- what's not to like...?
Beautiful car; enjoy it!
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.

Evansville is a good place to buy a car from, the weather is mild. I have a Riv which came out of Evansville and it is very clean.
Did you buy the car from John Moore?

No, seller's name was Robin.
Thanks, Chris

Looks great! Did they throw in the factory radio? I was lucky to have AM/FM pushbutton still in my 22 option special order 64.
Thanks. No, he didn't save the radio, but I can find one easily enough.

My "new to me" 65 Gran Sport. I have paid for it, but it hasn't been picked up by the shipper yet, but I am still considering it mine now. :>)
This car was a frame off restoration, started the work 1992, finished in 2000 (two different shops). Same owner since 1986 or so. Numbers and colors matching. Fully factory loaded with nearly every option that was available. Sold new in Evansville IN, and that is where I purchased it from. Was listed on Facebook Marketplace.
Needs a little freshening up again, but very good bones and real nice looking car. I hope to be able to see it in person soon, lol.

He replaced cracked exhaust manifolds (not available, 1 year only) with top quality T/A performance shorty headers, ceramic coated. He did not finish hooking everything back up. Prior to replacing the manifolds it ran and drove fine (I road with him).
He replaced rear lower arms, and springs, new locator bar bushings, new body mounts, steering box and pump, new starter and flywheel, brake lines. New Bilstien shocks all around. Aftermarket sway bars, new tires. The new dual exhaust system is in the box, all original parts including "Star Wars" air cleaner are included. To drive, it needs the transmission cooler lines connected, the heater hoses, and the exhaust hooked up.
My brother passed away in 2020 and it is stored in his heated, and air conditioned garage. It is on his lift where he left it.
Please; if you are reading this ad the car is still available! -

Seems like a bogus sale to me. More and more I think these auctions are a sham.
what do you mean by it being a bogus auction? Do you think the seller didn't get paid the amount that was bid? he is on FB, and is certainly acting like it is a real sale, and is quite happy with the new record price. His reserve was set at $160k. All it takes is two bidders with deep pockets that really want the car for this to happen (and sometimes some added booze). :>)

No Stage 1 designation in 1971 for the Riviera.
If the engine is SF it is from 1970, not 1971, and it is not a 1970 Stage 1 engine (SS code), but rather the standard 370hp 4 bbl engine from a full size Buick. All 1971 455's start with a "T". TA would be for the Riviera GS.
1970:
- LeSabre Custom 455 - SF
- Wildcat Custom - SF
- Electra 225 and 225 Custom - SF
- Riviera - SF
1971:
- Skylark Custom - TO,TD
- GS - TB,TD,TR,TS
- LeSabre & LeSabre Custom - TC,TO,TR
- Centurion - TR,TA
- Estate Wagon - TR
- Electra 225 & Electra 225 Custom - TR
- Riviera - TR
- Riviera GS - TA
