Hmmmmm 🤔 My interaction with the seller: "Paint code D Saffire Blue The car is in Omaha and I'm in Phoenix trying to help my mentally challenged brother sell his assets. He purchased it new in 67 and it was appraised by a professional last year for 35,5 and he remarked that in his 30 years of appraising cars he has never seen a more pristine Buick Riv. GS than this one. I don't have any more pics at this time but the car has never been altered or damaged. It's the real deal." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JZRIV 1,436 Posted November 19, 2019 Based on the latest addition seller indicating NADA is $37k plus it probably won't hit reserve. If the car was up to date running and driving with all mechanical systems gone through that would help. but still considering the TERRIBLE low resolution pictures at current $27k its doing well. Even with photo editing I can not see the Riviera hood script. Much like the hood insulation band if its there and the resolution is so bad you can't see it what else can't be seen? would have to look at this one in person if serious. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JZRIV 1,436 Posted December 3, 2019 Not anywhere close to $3400 but hey I guess he can try. A guy was selling a really nice used set here locally on CL for over 3 years asking only $125. Sure they are fairly uncommon but that is not proportional to desirability/demand/value. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you on the value. Some people just throw a price out there to see what they can get. I don't suppose that local set is still for sale yet?

I find it interesting the box these NOS caps are advertised as coming in are listed for wire wheel covers for 66-67 … 66-67 490 - WIRE WHEEL-15IN-RIVIERA TYPE/SUP 980789/ I was going to "Make Offer" of $900, just for the hell of it, and it came back with this message ... "Increase your offer The seller will be more likely to respond if your offer is around $2,550.00" Oh well, I was going to give it a shot, but maybe not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RivNut 3,428 Posted December 9, 2019 Agreed, but it seems that the guys who list these cars always consider that the bucket seats with console is an option, and in '65 that the tilt wheel is an option. Really nice car (if you're into bright reds 😎) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
