NC1968Riviera Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Seen on Facebook Marketplace. (not my listing) Strato-Bench seat but appears to have rear defrost, speed minder, 8-track, cruise control switch but missing CC mechanism on carb. Owner states he has the air cleaner housing and chrome lid in the trunk. Claims the car was a "barn find" that has sat for several years but that he has been "tinkering with and fixing up". He states the AC control label fell off. I asked him about the HVAC controls. I only see two wheels on the controls, but the car has a full AC setup in the engine compartment. 1968 Buick Riviera GS(?)

EmTee Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Appears to have originally had a vinyl top. 'Riviera' script missing from the front of the hood. Upholstery is definitely not OEM style; it would look more appropriate in a mid-70's Riviera, IMHO. It has a disc brake master cylinder, but has drum brakes in front. Still, it seems like a solid driver for the right person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Yeah, 70's/80's velour for sure! Blue cloth would look like this: The disc brake master cylinder has a larger reservoir at the forward end (for front brakes) and a smaller one on the booster end for the rears. The added capacity is needed to compensate for the disc brake caliper piston extending farther out of the caliper body as the pads wear, which increases the volume of fluid held behind the piston(s). Mine was the same way when I got it, but have since replaced it with the drum brake version, which has two chambers of the same size (smaller).

J3Studio Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Customs are tough to sell—especially as they age. 1966 Riviera very custom "Golden Piranha" completed by Frank DeRosa in 1983. Archaic even in 1983, with a Continental rear and a ridiculously velour interior. Stunning but aged paint. Still one of the most famous Riviera customs, for whatever that's worth. Asking $32,500 on eBay and has been for sale previously in other venues. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Buick-Riviera/264349580076 Edited June 5, 2019 by j3studio (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hagster Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) I'll bet the "1968 Buick Riveria" would get more attention if he spelled Riviera correctly. I would think most people looking for a specific car would enter the model. I couldn't find it in a "Riviera" search. cjp69 must have been searching for Buick. I did once get a pretty good deal on some marine exhaust manifolds for a Merc 7.4 on ebay I believe because of a spelling mistake and no reserve.
