RivNut 2,758 Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I'm willing to try to start an ongoing thread that would alert any prospective buyers to what I would call deals on earlier Rivieras that a person might not otherwise find. I'd also think that it could be used to ask others who are looking to see what's in areas to which they don't have access unless they're willing to look at every city that has a Craigslist. Don't post anything other than a title and a link. You're not responsible for anything other than letting others know what's out there. It's up to them to make contact and get details. I'll start with this one: a 1966 Gran Sport in Cole Camp, Missouri (Central close to the Lake of the Ozarks.) http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/5822062304.html Edited January 9, 2018 by RivNut (see edit history) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JZRIV 1,219 Posted October 15, 2016 If that 66 GS was near me, I'd have already shown up with a cash in hand offer, trailer with winch, a jack and a set of wheels/tires. That is an awesome parts car especially if the block is not cracked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodneybeauchamp 308 Posted October 15, 2016 It is a pity it has been let go, that 66 is a desirable car with bucket seats and centre console, just how they should be! A great parts car or an awesome project for someone. ( but not me!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
60FlatTop 4,445 Posted October 15, 2016 Since I started looking at Craigslist I have been very entertained by the pictures of cars the sellers post. (My kids say I am a little too easy to entertain.) I keep seeing picture and thinking "Couldn't you just move that car three feet so it's not sunk in the ground?" Then I get to wishing I had saved some of the sunken treasures or the interiors full of trash and garbage. October 2nd I created a folder called "Sunk In". Thank you! I have added another picture.

RivNut 2,758 Posted October 15, 2016 For those of you who may be looking for something unique to the Riviera world, here's a picture of a '75 Riviera with the webs in the rally wheels painted red from the factory. It's on the Appleton, WI Craigslist but you'll have to misspell Riviera to find it. Type in Riveria. That spelling plus 'buick rivera' will get you untold results you won't get by spelling it correctly. 48K; not a bad ride for $2,500. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chimera 418 Posted October 16, 2016 Yeah, I would of course need to inspect that 67 GS in person to check GS status. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Curran 292 Posted October 16, 2016 The 66 GS is an interesting find. Loaded up but no power windows. The steering wheel is cracked but the precious horn bar is still intact. Amazing! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrEarl 6,842 Posted October 18, 2016 Good idea Ed. I'm not crazy about pinning a lot of stuff to the top but this may have value. Let me know if you want me to pin it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RivNut 2,758 Posted October 18, 2016 Will do. It will depend on what kind of reaction it gets. If we were to post every Riviera for sale across the continent, it would be very busy. If we only list projects, and what we'd consider to be good deals, then it might not be as popular. Time will tell. Thanks for your considerations.

PWB 435 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) 7 hours ago, Imperial62 said: Pat This kind of project - 10-15 years ago - would have been sold yesterday. Today's culture devalues these projects because it would take $50,000 to restore a $15,000 car. But man, that is so tempting. I would do a color change, to a dark plum or such. Supposedly, this car could be parted for $2000 or so. My concern with any Riviera like this is who does the upholstery? Those buckets and rear seats - are they being kit reproduced or do you have to get shop to do them? OPGI sells a fantastic deluxe set. Dead on perfect. (Black, anyway) I can send ya pics. Don't know about the other colors. Edited October 19, 2016 by PWB typo (see edit history) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those buckets and rear seats - are they being kit reproduced or do you have to get shop to do them? I've found that you can usually find a competent upholster in most cities that can easily replicate any interior if they have something from which to work. If there's anything left of the original, then they can reproduce what you need. I've found it easier / less expensive to sometimes just have the panels that are worn replaced rather than going for a complete re-po kit. On my '65, only the "seat buns" are worn. I got a quote to replace only those panels and use the backs and sides from the originals and it was much cheaper than buying a complete kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
60FlatTop 4,445 Posted October 19, 2016 That upholstery comment just reminded me of the driver's seat upper upholstery I bought from Clark's two years ago. Time sure flies. I guess I better get that job done, too. Oh, it looks great. Bernie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
