Guest loadmaster Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks Mike !Amazing how popular these '65 Rivieras are, but then, they have always been. My auction has been up and running for only about 14 hours and it has already had 411 lookers and a 43 watchers. I can only hope those watchers become bidders, huh ? Rich Rich,That is a really well done auction. I wish I had CBM (car buyin' money) right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If it's like any other auction that I watch, I'll enter the highest bid I think I want to pay and sit with my finger on the send key and wait until there's about 15 seconds left in the auction to enter that amount. Good ol' sniper bidding keeps the seller on pins and needles until the last moment.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64Riv-King Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Good luck with the auction. Hopefully the winning bidder is a true Riviera lover and not just a collector/investor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1963 Riviera Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Good Luck. btw, I thought the Gran Sport had a tacho on the console, or was it optional ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buick : Riviera Gran Sport in Buick | eBay MotorsI agree. This is an excellent example of the everything being done right from the beginning. The successful first time listing ended well for both the buyer and seller and was a result of professional, highly detailed, and honest descriptions of the car top to bottom. As you said, I hope we see more of the car in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest loadmaster Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thank you for the kind comments Lamar and Jason ! I talked with several potential bidders throughout the auction and they all felt that they were well informed. I even received emails from two other bidders that missed the high bid with similar comments. The car's new owner is on the east coast and I believe he is already an ROA member. Either way, I'll make sure he check you guys and this site out. This has been a fun experience especially hearing this car come back to life. Being able to drive this car even a few blocks brought back fond memories and the commitment to find another one to keep down the road. I agree.
