RivNut Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Nothing between the 67 and the 83's. I've never had the thrill of the power of 455 or agony of filling the gas tank behind one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That dark blue 73 in post #881 above is sharp. It reminded me of a 72 in same color I saw in a junkyard when I was 18 in 1980. Even with the demolished front end, those lines were very attractive in that color and it made a lasting impression. The only thing I could find on it that fit my 67 was the chrome wheels. I found out a couple weeks later after locating a new squeaking sound that the boattail era wheels bolt up but rub the brake drums! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally a bench car with a column shift, I had an interior out of a GS installed and the car is now a console shift. Floors were sanded down and painted when the interior was installed but the lower quarters and fenders are starting to rust. The transmission has been rebuilt and the engine just had a recent tune up. Original paint. No leaks or burning of any fluids! Power windows all work, stereo is a new original fit bluetooth system in the stock location with no cuts to the dash. A/C was converted to 134A and blows ice cold. Too many projects, and this needs someone to restore it before the rust starts eating it away. I have THREE spare rear windows for it, as well as spare clocks and emblems and an extra set of heads and exhaust manifolds, as well as non original wheels and tires. All emailed offers will be deleted because as much as you think an offer of $6,000 is "fair for the car", it in fact is not a fair offer, mostly because YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY COME LOOK AT THE CAR BEFORE TELLING ME IT'S WORTH LESS! I get that people want to make an offer low enough that they can't lose but I am not desperate to sell and will only entertain fair offers.

Power seats, power windows AND vents, Wonderbar AM radio with power antenna and It has the Guidematic auto headlight dimmer from what's visible in the pictures of the interior. But it does not have air condtioning. Not that a/c would be needed in a northern climate but it has the radiator shroud that came on the air conditioned cars. We can't see it but I wonder if it also has a thermostatic clutch fan. No pictures of the data plate or the VIN along with the Engine Serial number or Production code numbers. I also thought that the only yellow available in 1964 was a much more pale yellow - Sunburst Yellow.Real or pieced together?

The link is below. http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/dramioncombs/slideshow/ Looks like a very nice car but I wonder if you can get along with a car that doesn't have air conditioning. Are you personally familiar with the car? The reason I ask is that you say the car is in Florida but it has Pennsylvania plates on it. If it's actually a Pennsylvania car, you'd want to have someone go over it closely to see what, if any, rust repairs have been made to it.

Chasingbuick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks Ed for your Response. I did see that it has Pennsylvania plates and I have asked to have a third party inspection and find out actually where the car is in Florida. There are some red flags because it says it has Air even though it shows it does not. Do you have a recommendation of a classic car inspectors that are nationwide and do a good job of looking at classics? Air would be a very positive on this car since it gets into the 100's here in Southern Idaho sometimes. I really appreciate your expertise being that you own all years of the Model that I love and am looking for. I am excited in finding a good Riv that I can drive daily in the summer months.

I'm not a 1st gen expert but that looks like a nice straight car. Being from PA I know what the underside typically looks like and this car does not look like it is from PA. Much better. That's not to say there isn't any rust not shown but the underside looks awful clean to me. I always look at the rear most portion of frame and body underside by gas tank. Those areas would typically have heavy rust scale barnacles if ran for say 5-8 PA winters and this car look real nice. If you need A/C, buy a car with a functioning A/c unit. Not worth the hassle adding either a factory or aftermarket A/C system. Lots of work and money. Easier to buy car with it already working. Also careful buying one that says "A/C not working just needs charged" Repairs can be very expensive to get a system working reliably.

RivNut Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 In reference to the Claret Mist '54 that Chasingbuick (the newby) is wanting information on, here's a break down of the Fisher Body data plate 629 - Claret Mist LL - Custom Saddle Vinyl WXT -3T-4F-5W W = EZI glass (tint) windshield only X = power windows T= power seat (driver's bucket only) 3T= rear arm rest (pretty rare) 4F= Remote mirror 5W= front seat belts w/ retractor IF it would have been a a/c car, there would have been a code 2K on the data plate As Jason says, if you want a car with air, find one that has it. It's a real hassle adding aftermarket air, and a PITA to try and install a factory set up. Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is a native PA car, it wasn't used during the winter months. The frame and floors look to be rust free. Overall, I think it looks like a nice car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again I got into some detail on this car with the seller. The lack of AC for me was a stopper but there were other things that didn't feel right. Can't put my finder on it/them.

Chasingbuick Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Thanks Bdad for for your thoughts on the 64 Buick. I agree with you on the seller. Something just doesn't seem right on this Buick plus he has been hard to get a hold of. It seems almost to good to be true for his asking price that he has agreed to sell to me. The car looks really clean as well as the engine compartment, but the Air is also going to be a deal breaker for me. I am still waiting to hear back from him on when I can get the car inspected.

This is a numbers matching two owner car with a big block 455 engine and a turbo 400 transmission with only 63269 miles on it. I bought this Riviera in August of 2004 with 59654 miles on it. I have owned this Riviera now for 14years and I have only put on just over 3600 miles on it since I've owned it. I have always kept it in the garage and it was only out for car shows or a weekend cruise. The chrome ( and there is a lot of it ) is in great shape any shines nicely. The vinyl roof is great shape as well with no tears or rips. All four wheels are the factory Buick rims with one spare and they too are in good condition. The interior is all black with a bit of factory woodgrain. The drivers seat has a seam about 4" undone. The clock does not work and the gas guage is intermittent. The massive dash is perfect with no cracks or tears. Since I have owned this car i have had the motor pulled to replace the factory gaskets the were going dry from age. While the gaskets were bieng changed and the motor was out the timing chain, oil pump, plugs and wires were changed by the shop as well as having the factory Rockchester carb rebuilt. A few changes that I made were the stereo and the exhaust. The factory am radio didnt work when i bought the car so a modern unit was installed along with 2 6X9's ...2 5 1/4's... 2 10" subs and three big amps to push the sound. When the speakers and subs were put in, i made sure that everything was easy to remove with a few screws so that if someone wanted to go back to factory it could be done easily....the new stereo is much better sounding. I had the factory exhaust taken off from the exhaust manifold on back and it was upgraded to a louder rumble with 24" slash cut chrome tips....everything was welded and custom bent for this car. I have also put in a set of guages so that you can see the oil pressure, coolant temp and volts rather than relying on 1971 idiot lights. If you noticed the rearview mirror is missing.... I have that. It fell off one day and I never put it back on. The drivers window is scratched and Im not sure how it happened. It was like that when I bought the car. This Riviera starts right up and runs great with turbo 400 shifting smoothly. The paint is in good shape ... not great shape. It will shine nicely . The body has a few small dents and scratches as to be expected with a car that's 47 years old. If you are interested please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I will take more photos of anything on the car that you would like to see however, I do not have a lift but i can try to jack the car up and photo what i can. I have only driven the car a few hundred miles in the past 7-8 years as other toys and hobbys are always going on. The average price online weather it be on high end auctions or collector car dealers is $13,100. I have seen similar cars that people are wanting nearly $30,000. I am asking $13000 OBO. I am not looking to trade and don't need help selling the car. Please look at all the photos. I tried to get good pucs of all the car.
