    That's what the ROA, and this hobby is all about!

    Those rechromed'64 Wildcat 'show' wheels sound real good,

    a bit pricey, but whazzit gonna cost to rechrome a set?

    Good Luck on your search for your '65.

    Randy,

    Appears the '64 Show wheels are painted silver. I won't even try to re-paint them black. When I touch a tool, any tool, strange things happen. So, I leave everything up to someone else to do it correctly. Unfortunately, that's the way it is.

    Beautiful '69 Riv For Sale at Hershey

    in Buick Riviera

    Posted

    Hi,

    Anyone looking to purchase a beautifully done '69 Riv, I'll be at the Hershey AACA Meet beginning Wednesday (tomorrow) through Saturday. See me at the Car Coral, Space M 3.

    Email me and I'll send you a copy of the Window Sticker if your interested. This South Western car is red, black bucket seats/console. I'd say the condition is a 2-. Drives beautifully and has a lot of "eye-ball."

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I'm sorry I didn't respone earlier to your informative post, but have not been to the board for a few days.

    Just want to thank you so much for such an in depth overview of these cars. I really appreciate the time and thoughts that you put into it and hope everyone reading these gets a little something that they previoulsy didn't know.

    FYI, I almost bought a low mileage red '83 convertible last week but the owner went whacky on me after I sent him a deposit and had the car inspected, he decided not to sell. Well that's his story.

    The search continues .......

    Regards,

    Dale,

    You might want to send your email to the General Discussion Group if you already haven't.

    Also, I think these bogus people's "M.O." (Motis Operandi, watching too many cop shows) should be periodically posted on all club sites either through AACA and/or Hemmings Car Clubs list. Keeping the uninformed troops up-to-date on these people is a great service to all.

    Best regards,

    Al and Ed,

    Notice that nobody is bidding on the red convertible. I emailed the seller and got somewhat of a cryptic email back from her that just doesn't seem kosher. (Asking for my Ebay login and password.)

    I sent her back an email asking for an address and telephone number so I can send an Inspector/appraisor to check out the car for me before I buy it. As of this writing, I haven't heard back from her. I also can't find an address or telephone number for this person in the state she suposedly lives.

    Now, I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but this listing doesn't smell so good. Actually, I think it out-in-out stinks!

    I'll keep you guys posted.

    Jim,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I'm a member of the ROA and am contacting the heck out of every Buick site there is hoping to getting lucky and finding a really nice 82-85 Riv convertible.

    I'll be doing the homework part of today's postings and the ROA is on my list.

    Best regards,

    Ok, I'm impressed! I can't turn a screw without breaking a finger, so, do you want some business?

    Only kidding. I really appreciate guys who can do work on their cars and get a great feeling of accomplishment. Unfortunately, as a city kid, I didn't grow-up fixing cars and it has come back to haunt me.

    I'm starting to lean to the 68-69 Riv as my next purchase. If you know of any high-point, fully optioned cars with bucket seats for sale please let me know.

    BTW, your 67 really came out great.

    Thanks much for the info. I was hoping for a little easier way out, but, if I have to buy a parts car and do the switch from there, I guess a non-AC car is not in my best interest to purchase. I'll keep looking!

    Regards,
