MrEarl 7,103 Posted April 20, 2016 We all like pictures! Sooooo This thread is for posting pictures of YOUR Performance Buicks. Just pictures and a brief description. It will help us all know who has what and sort of put a car to a person so to speak. So let's see them! and who knows, maybe your car will end up featured in a calendar some day.

philip roitman 423 Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Just finished the restoration that had to be pulled from the first shop. Thank you to John Csordas and the crew at The Auto Center in Chappaqua N.Y. for making it right. 1973 Century Gran Sport 4 speed. Most optioned. 1 of 92 built. Looking forward to bringing it hopefully to the BCA Nats. Edited May 18, 2017 by philip roitman (see edit history) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiKi5156B 227 Posted December 26, 2017 I gotta tell y’all about a very fun looking 66 Special wagon that was racing here in Oregon bout 20 some years ago. Had a later 455 out of some zillion mile big wagon mildly modded with some mild nitrous going to it. Was always fun to watch cause he would lift the front 2 feet and carry it through first gear. Ran somewhere in low 10s. One day he showed up with a big nitrous kit, first run had the thing scraping the back bumper! In his next run which happened to be me(S/G 71Duster 9.70 dial) I had to give him about half second head start,he launched scraped his back bumper again, I launched and barely got moving and KABOOM!!!!! I saw the crank come out the bottom of his car and he ran over it! What a fireball! I pulled over to my left and eased to the end.I went over to look at his car in the pits and there was total destruction! Next weekend his car was fixed with a stock 71 shortblock for $75 but had lower miles so he figured, good to go. Still in the 10s and still scraping the back bumper. I was impressed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What wheels are those; got a white with black vinyl top 65 Riviera, and I am thinking about some wheels similar to these, but more or less in a standard size; nothing crazy.

GS66 15 Posted Friday at 09:56 PM (edited) The wheels on the 65 are 17” Cragars. First time ever for me to buy wheels over 15”, but glad I did. I like them on there although I wouldn’t go larger. That’s a great looking Riv! Edited Friday at 09:57 PM by GS66 (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
