1965 Riviera on Ebay

[60FlatTop]

I came across this car on Ebay. Not mine.

                 I don't like these cars without the stainless trim down the sides and around the wheel wells...

it makes them look cheap like a Chevy Bel Air. Ditto on leaving off the trunk lock bezel and the Riviera emblems.

I  DO like the removal of the dumb looking trim between the rear window and the trunk lid. That roof looks so

much more elegant without that trim. For the life of me I've never understood why that was put on these cars. That's the best thing about the vinyl top cars.....they don't have that ugly piece of trim installed.

OK Riviera People: BBB? Yeah, on a 65 Le Sabre but this?  Mitch

I will say that the 455 looks like it belongs there.  Somebody seems to have done the engine swap right.  Looks quite tidy underneath.  The paint is not terrific, but certainly OK for a driver.

Front bumper looks tweeked. Hood may be bent. I also like it with the rocker trim. Tires need replacing. 

Nice custom though. Would have liked to read more about the car in the add.

Equipped with rare factory option bucket seats and console. Yeah, right...

It looks like a clean engine swap but I would prefer to stay with nailhead power.  The paint has some peel in it but probably would buff up to a nicer finish if someone took the time.  Not a bad cruiser overall.
