jframe Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 7 minutes ago, RivNut said: Was the 65 Midnight Blue the same color as the 64 Diplomat Blue? I'm not sure. It sure was close; similar to Chevy's Daytona Blue they used on the C2 Corvette, and I think Pontiac had a similar color I have seen on GTO's. Either way, it's beautiful; my Dad's '65 he bought new was Midnight Blue with a black standard interior. I have seen a few Midnight Blue ones, but seems like I've seen very few with the interior in black; most seem to have what I call an Astro Blue interior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 My 64 was Diplomat Blue with a white custom interior. Chevy called theirs Daytona Blue. Pontiac and Olds also had the same color with different names. Not sure about Cadillac though. Chevy eventually changed the name to Deepwater Blue but it was the same color. If you put a 1964 Diplomat Blue Riviera along side a 1965 Midnight Blue Riviera, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my eye the `65 Midnight blue has a purple hue in some circumstances which I dont care for. Seems to me `64 Diplomat blue is a more true deep blue.

RivNut Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 (edited) I don’t know why I didn’t look this up in the first place instead of asking but a paint reference site list different codes for the 64 and 65 colors. One thing I did notice, according to a couple of different references, was that GM had two dark blue colors - Midnight Blue and Midnight Aqua.

Mostly original, original paint, sheet metal, interior etc. Very little rust, all surface, no sheet metal replacement is needed. Original bench seat car, No A/C. Original Buick 430, 4 barrel. Has dual angle torque converter Turbo 400, the last year for this performance feature, also has 3:23 posi traction rear axle, 9 3/8 ring gear. Chrome bumpers are in excellent condition, no rust or pitting. He replaced cracked exhaust manifolds (not available, 1 year only) with top quality T/A performance shorty headers, ceramic coated. He did not finish hooking everything back up. Prior to replacing the manifolds it ran and drove fine (I road with him). He replaced rear lower arms, and springs, new locator bar bushings, new body mounts, steering box and pump, new starter and flywheel, brake lines. New Bilstien shocks all around. Aftermarket sway bars, new tires. The new dual exhaust system is in the box, all original parts including "Star Wars" air cleaner are included.

It is on his lift where he left it. Please; if you are reading this ad the car is still available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jframe Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 hours ago, ericisback said: 1965 Riviera https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-buick-riviera-59/ Pretty nice, low option car. Kinda question some stuff, like Custom interior package with no rocker moldings and the painted outside mirror is a bit of a turn off. Also a PCV on that right valve cover would keep the stains off those nice covers. The trunk needs the spare and jack, and finishing out with material, and the cardboard to really look nice. Not a ton of money to get that stuff, but it DOES add up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XframeFX Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 5 hours ago, jframe said: Pretty nice, low option car. Agree. See, not a '65 Riviera GS and few options but very appealing just the same. I only ask that this one had AC and I'd be happy with it. Unbelievable the disparity in pricing between a 1965 Riviera and 1965 Riviera GS.

RivNut Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 (edited) I’m no expert but the one thing that stands out to me is probably not a factory mistake. The Gran Sport option included either the unique Gran Sport wheel covers or the optional rally wheels, not the wire wheel covers. Here’s a picture of a Gran Sport with the unique Gran Sport wheel cover. This car belongs to Steve and Emily Kouris. The unique wheel covers are actually a standard 1965 Riviera wheel cover with the spinner/knock off from a 63/64 cast wheel cover and 64 center emblem. They look especially nice when turning and the sun is reflecting off them. Edited February 9 by RivNut (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71GS Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Ed makes a good point. The GS specific caps were standard with the option. Obviously most opted for road wheels but maybe you could option the wire caps too. This white one at the Mcacn show had them too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
