Guest LoneStarRiviera Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks Jayson! When I search on eBay for "Buick Riviera XX", the auction doesn't appear in my search results, so I appreciate this heads-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jayson,Is there anything different about this car than yours (or my two previous ones) other than the Indy 500 stickers on it?Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'll have to look when I get home, can't see ebay at work ya know that is a no no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LoneStarRiviera Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I called the eBay seller in Decatur IL. Apparently he is selling it for a friend of his who is getting married. The seller described it as "new" even though it has 48,100 miles. My '84 convertible has less miles on it and I certainly couldn't describe it as 'new'!!!!!!It looks like a nice car and sosuzguy is right, the antenna had better work for that price!

sosuzguy Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 ED I did not see anything different other than just the additional stickers which are kind of overkill to me. Looks just like someone got a XX car and added a bunch of stickers. I wouldn't be suprised if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) From what I've learned, the cars the race officials used in '83 were 60 white convertibles with red Indy 500 logos on them. Anyone have info the existence of any of these cars? http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z10562/Buick-Riviera.aspx Ed Edited June 10, 2011 by RivNut (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Ed a few years ago with all the additional cars showing up that were suppose to be this and that kind of car surrounding that Indy 500 one I tried to interview all of these places that had or I heard had them. I was going to write an article on them and any updated info that I may have uncovered. That was the rudest people I had ever dealt with. The only one that was accommodating was the Sloan Museum. The project went by the way side due to zero cooperation. I tried! They all acted like I was trying to get blue prints to the building to steal the cars even after I'd said I was I was trying to do. The most shocking was the curator at a certain racetrack! Edited June 13, 2011 by sosuzguy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Makes you wonder how these people, who are supposed to be in customer relations, ever got their jobs in the first place.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lone_Star_Reatta Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well, the eBay auction for this Pace car replica ended yesterday and surprise surprise, the reserve was not met. I was headed to STL for a business trip, so I tacked on an extra few hours and drove to Decatur where this car is stored.All I can say is WOW, what a beauty. Even though it has over 48,000 miles on it, it's obviously has been well cared for. The current owner is owner #3 (and a ROA member) and is a big time collector of Indy Pace Cars and associated memorabilia. The car is very clean and all original however the security system looked after market. In my opinion, the giant windshield sticker promoting "1 of 1" is over kill.

sosuzguy Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 yeah too many stickers for me too. I can't wait to get the ROA nationals over. All I need is new bumper fillers on my XX car and it's coming out of the cave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
