I honestly don't know why the rust is only on the driver's side. And the flaking yellow house paint definitely makes it look rougher than it is.

In 1965, Riviera VIN numbers were not separate from other Buick models. That’s a six digit number that falls somewhere in the total number of 1965 Buicks. You can get closer by looking at the date code on the Fisher Body plate. A number (9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2 etc through 8 for the month and the letterA,B,C,D,E for the week in which it was built. Standard interior with power seat, no power windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammfan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 @RivNut I wasn't aware there was a separate body plate, thank you!! Based on what you can see with crappy photos, what would you say I should try to ask for the car? What would you be willing to pay if you were in the market for one? Thanks for your help!

RivNut Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 With a boat anchor under the hood it’s definitely not something anyone might want as a driver in that condition. I agree with @kreed on the amount that he posted. $3,000 +/-. If you had the room to store parts, you could possibly get the same for some parts. But no options that anyone would be looking for. Some of the trim is missing. The only thing that might be of interest to anyone would be body panels IF there’s good metal under the flaky yellow paint and if the headlight motor, arms, and clamshells are in working order. 🙁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammfan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 @RivNut @kreed Thank you both for your help! I had no idea how to price this thing and now I know what to expect. I really wish I had the time and resources to bring it back to it's former glory but maybe I'll be in a position to get one in driving condition to enjoy one day.

Good point Ed. I believe the Hemmings auction car has the optional leather with suede seats, not the W15 package.

Gotta see if I can beat Linda on the go-cart tracks. Last time we went she started ahead of me and when I'd try to pass, she'd run me into the wall. 2nd place is the first loser. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
