My friend purchased this through an auction house in Chicago on Ebay about 12 or 15 years ago. I stayed at his farm in Vermont for a week before the ROA meet in Gettysburg a few years back and I had a chance to thoroughly inspect the car as he wanted me to buy it. I passed on the opportunity because although I believe this car was a very well kept original GS there was obviously some rust repair which was performed before repaint and that repair was starting to show through. If you look closely at the pics there are some non original generic moldings which have been placed around the body....or at least there was when I looked at it. The car was originally white, the dual quads were added. If this was an original SCO paint dual quad car I would have had it on a Uhaul trailer in Gettysburg. My friend sold this car and a `62 Tbird convert to a dealer in Vermont who I believe is running it through Mecum. Sadly, my friend passed away a few months after my stay but thankfully I was able to spend some quality time with him on the farm. He was a very unique person who led an unusual life, and could weave a tale of it, over the course of a few too many whiskies, that was fascinating. My frequent chats with him are sorely missed. Tom Mooney Tom, looks like the car has an "MZ" code now. That is one of the worst looking stampings I have seen. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333865194512 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m quite sure about the pedigree of this car...you can even see the original "W" which is stamped to the far right of the "M". If you bring up the pics of when the car was for sale by the dealer in Vermont there is a picture of the original single 4 barrel setup with air cleaner that was removed from the car. I`m seriously considering calling this dealer out and my guess would be the Vermont dealer, which is a large Ford dealer and active in the auction community, might be motivated to do so as well....just a damn shame...

The seller should be notified. Maybe they know and don't care but its possible they're going by what the person they got it from told them but still shame on them for not properly vetting what is being represented as a very rare car. This is exact reason I never wanted to post the original MZ stamp in a public forum as well as using careful judgement when sending it privately.

It's awful, but I agree with @JZRIV. So many of us want to share our hard-won knowledge, but there are unscrupulous folks who will use that data to make a car into something it isn't. I've personally seen this on other marques—it's most common when the change in one characteristic can cause an outsize change in value. I'll keep this in mind as I continue to work on the Riviera Project. Perhaps a little less data and a few more warnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimera Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Here are the details passed on to me of the 1966 Riviera being sold to contribute to a charity (shown in the recent Riview). "Obviously, the intention of the owner was to help us as we serve people in various countries around the world. We do medivac flights and angel flights, provide medical and dental clinics, build wells, teach reading classes and provide many other services to the local people in remote, undeveloped regions of the world. Please take a look at our website (flyawa.org) where you will see examples of the humanitarian work that we do. I share this information with you because we want to honor the donor's desire to provide funds for us to help as many people as possible. That being said, I have attached the appraisal for the car and pictures that the owner provided. I have been instructed to accept the appraised value or the appraised value and any amount above that as a charitable contribution to AWA. I have received several inquiries and we hope this car will be a blessing to both the purchaser and the nonprofit. Here are comments from the owner: "Here are the photos of the Riviera that we spoke about. The mileage seen in the photograph is the mileage the car had at time of my purchasing it, and has about 250 additional miles on it as I have driven it some to "exercise" the car as well as checking out the rebuild on the main carburetor. The Riviera is currently equipped with it's Factory Dual Quad setup, but the "front" carb showed no signs of needing to be rebuilt, so it was not and both Carbs now perform great. The Transmission was recently serviced with a new filter, modulator, fluid and Aluminum Transmission pan. I replaced the Factory Trans pan as it is made of thin metal & tends to distort its shape with periodic tightening of the bolts, whereas the Aluminum Trans pan does not distort and thus it seals well & does not leak. The Air Conditioning system was recently upgraded from R-12 to R-134 Refrigerant, and the compressor was replaced with a NEW Factory style Compressor and the whole system was recently evaluated on a hot 106 degree Arizona afternoon and it blows cold! The Suspension was recently rebuilt with new ball joints, shocks & other "consumables", and it drives superb. The "body mounts" (I believe there are four of them) MAY be in need of replacement - Nonetheless, I THINK that in the miscellaneous items that comes with the car, is a set of body mounts. I'm not certain on the newness or condition of said body mounts, however if they need replacing they are both a simple and cheap thing to replace. The Trunk area is in as good of condition as the rest of the car and it is quite remarkable to me that it looks so good. Most cars of this vintage cannot hold a candle to this car's trunk and carpeting. The tires were replaced by the previous owner and even still have the "blue soap" on the whitewall! This car is 54 years old and is near perfect. However, it would take very little to get it extremely close to "perfection" with very little time, dollars and effort. This could EASILY be "the centerpiece" of any Buick collector's museum, in my opinion and experience in dealing with Grand National Roadster Show Champion cars and 55+ years of building & restoring Hot Rods and Classic Cars. I grew up with my stepfather's 1956 Buick Roadmaster, which he purchased new. I guess you could say that Buicks are one classic car venue that I do know, inside & out. The car also comes with "extras", and they are; Single four barrel intake manifold and carb. Stock factory exhaust manifold, as it has been replaced with a Ceramic Coated "SANDERSON" exhaust manifold. Ceramic coating lowers the exhaust (and underhood) temperature, and flows better. Also, it looks great - just like polished stainless steel. (Sanderson is a valued & highly respected manufacturer of aftermarket exhaust manifolds)." My office hours are Mon. - Thurs. 9am - 6pm Eastern time. Feel free to call or email me.

Comments? I noticed the same thing with the color, yet the paint almost looks gold (metallic) and the green is darker so probably just didn't get it right. It shows ZZ (Riviera Silver Green)There are more pages to the appraisal... It does look like it came with a posi from factory, which is cool.
