JZRIV Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 eeh........personal preference really. The 68 is a bit more modern but the 64 carries a more sought after classic recognizable Riviera styling. It'd probably be a tough pic for me but I've always favored the 2nd gens. Based on what you have stated the 68 sounds like a well equipped car. The buckets and shifting console is a big plus as is the 3.42. Its ready to roll.....and rock!

rivgs Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Value wise, the 64 is the better choice. You will find the 68 is a more comfortable car ( for me at least ) if you will be doing longer distantance driving. My advice is to check both cars out carefully ( the 64 should have a 425 engine code KW, not a 401 ) The 68's has been changed if it truly has a 455 and not the original 430 under the hood.

RivNut Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The actual hub on the '68 is smaller. If you've ever tried to put the '65 and later Buick rally wheels on a '63 or '64 Riviera, you have to remove the register ring from the inside of the wheel. The center holes in the 63 - 64 Rivieras are larger as well. The bolt circles on both are 5"x5" so if a wheel will fit a '64 it will fit a '68 - provided it will clear the disk brakes if the '68 is so equipped.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
