Seafoam65 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Whoa Nellie! Jeminy Crimeny! There's a pair of NOS park lamp turn signal assemblies for a 63 or 64 Riviera on ebay right now. They include the lenses, sockets and chrome bezels. The price? 2250 dollars! Holy bank account Batman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Popping Popcorn! Yeah, the guru is great. I have a 2nd gen. set on back-order with him. I don't know where he gets these gems. A god send. This would bring a car to supreme status. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-1964-Riviera-Park-Turn-Signal-Lenses-Bezels-Housings-NOS-/131690388704?hash=item1ea95bdce0:g:xF8AAOSwX~dWhthV&vxp=mtr Edited March 30, 2017 by PWB (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Just a word of caution here. Have been known to take excellent used parts & passed them off as NOS. Much better to deal with the dealers/sellers in the ROA for the best possible parts availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Nice Black and White 66 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Buick-Riviera-GS-/222457128945?hash=item33cb7a67f1:g:d1EAAOSwzgBYxDGp&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Yea real nice. Starting bid of $12k. Assuming no serious body rot its well worth that. If its originally an IL car definitely need looked at in person for rust. Very original in many areas that typically don't survive as original. Love to see original battery cables. Original heater control water valve with original retaining clip, etc. But the listing is in error. They say the car is a GS, aluminum valve covers, chrome air cleaner which the car in pics don't have. Too bad they don't show the VIN. The trunk looks original with black material which would make it a late production # like May or June. If anyone happens to find out the VIN or Build date please let me know. The more I look at this car the more I like it....aside from the wonky GS emblem of course Edited March 31, 2017 by JZRIV ad last line (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 In the text, the seller makes reference to the items that Jason noted are missing in the photos. ??????? The following is copied and pasted from the eBay listing. I've changed the text color to red to make it easy to find. But the GS emblems are in the wrong place and there's no Riviera GS on the glove box. ?????? Caveat emptor? Ed Absolutely Stunning 1966 Buick Riviera GS with the 465 Wild Cat Engine and a Posi-Traction Rear end. Regal Black color code specification. This car has about 54,000 miles on the original engine and drivetrain. The White vinyl interior is absolutely original to the car and is in near perfectly new condition without any rips. The engine has finned aluminum "BUICK" valve covers and a beautiful chrome air cleaner, which is standard with the "GS" package. The car has new brakes with original oversized finned aluminum front brake drums and five (5) BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires (including the spare, which is also mounted to the chrome sport wheel). This highly prized collectible car is way too nice to be stored outside. Please call me at 815-276-3033 with questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Curran Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 And they aren't even the right emblems for the year of the car........................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Well, he has the "original" right front fender riding high like mine and many I've seen. Nice car. GS? Highly doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to defend this guy (as I know absolutely nothing about him or his business practices), but my experience is that there are a whole lot of folks who don't know what "NOS" means. A lot of them think it means "in really good shape" and use the term accordingly. Of course, there are also those who know exactly what it means and are just FOS when describing their parts.

True that. But I'm convinced these pieces of art have never been installed on a car. The hi resolution images do not reveal a pixel's worth of corrosion, dirt, abrasion, checking, fade or wrench mark from a fastener install. Were these ever reproduced?

Half a century in Arizona/Texas is equivalent to 24 hours on the surface of Mercury. Toast still appears as toast - fresh or old. New owner is going to have to replace all "plastics" and wiring harness. He's asking WAY too much IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black River Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Here's a good looking '69. It's near me in a suburb 20 miles away, but I don't recall ever seeing it driving around. I would've detailed the engine bay, but looks good otherwise. https://missoula.craigslist.org/cto/6067088007.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Before going to take a look at it, let me know and I'll tell you all of the little things to check out before putting any money down. LOTS of very unique parts that are no longer available. Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
