kreed Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Remember the Gooding auction exactly one year ago when this 65 GS went for $110,000 plus commission = $121,000- world record I suspect . I had registered to bid but never had a chance to raise my paddle as two guys in front of me kept their hands raised continually with bids starting at $50k and going up in $10 K increments until it hit $110 and the other guy bailed ! Very nice car with most everything correct except a few minor things ( carpet color and few little things under the hood that were no big deal) . When I went to look at it the day before the auction , there were 5-10 people going all over this car the entire time I was there . Should have not even registered to bid after seeing that . Nice ones bring the bucks and the 1st ,2nd and 3rd Riviera's have a bright future for appreciation over the next few years IMHO.

1965rivgs Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 A few minutes ago I watched a triple black, loaded `65 Bonneville convertible with a transplanted 421 HO 4 speed driveline go thru Russo and Steele for over $80K..about $90K with buyers commission. The car was drop dead gorgeous, a show quality car. I spoke with the consigner and he expected the car to reach $60K. I expected it to creep into the $40K range but 2 bidders entered into a bidding war and ran the bid from the lower $40`s to the final price. That doesnt mean any other `65 Bonneville is worth that much. I spoke with the losing bidder after the auction and he volunteered to me he was aware the bidding rose to twice the car`s probable value but his late father had a triple black Bonny just like it so the sky was the limit...almost. It takes many consistent auction results to diminish unusual circumstances such as this and to establish a reliable trend. Tom Mooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well any way you look at it...if you get a bunch of rich people in a room that want something, cost goes up. Get the right venue if you want to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnulfo de l.a. Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow! same color combo my 65 had from factory. Unfortunately original owner did not like the color and put a cheap 60's earl shieb red paint job over the maroon. All faded and peeling now. If it was not a daily driver I would repaint it the original color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafoam65 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Ccngrats on your purchase! I know you probably wish it had been bid lower, but for me it's great to see a non GS 65 bring that kind of coin. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alini Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looks like a great buy. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That is one gorgeous 65! Love the black/black combo . You made a good buy - couldn't possibly restore one for that price . Invariably you will find a few things to tweek once you get it but looks like all the major things are in good shape . Enjoy and welcome to the forum.
