RivNut Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Looks like a very well equipped car. I noticed that some of the additional photos must have been taken before the restoration. One thing that was overlooked was the painting of the grill work in the fresh air intakes in the valance under the windshield.

cjp69 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I believe this used to be Dick Sweeney's car at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul K. Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 This GS was my brothers car before Dick owned it. I didn't realize it was on BAT because questions arose as to its mileage, and its options if original (not listed on the data plate). I bought it back in 1986 from the second owner and spoke to the original owner found on the Protect-O-Plate. I know how it was originally "born" and it has a lot more options today than when it came from the factory. Some of these options were installed by the original owner but most were installed by a San Diego ROA member who we sold it to and he then sold it to Dick around the mid-90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhach Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 $121,000, wow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivdrivn Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We know, at the very least, that the power door locks were added. Yet another very nice but imperfect ‘65 Gran Sport selling well into 6 figure territory. They say the market is heating up. I might have to put one of my cars on BAT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKRIV Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I remember when Dick Sweeney took this Black GS to Mesa in 1996 and it came 2nd in the GS class. Yes, this Riv was loaded with every option you can think of. This 65GS was previously owned by ROA Member Chuck Goode. I asked Dick that if he ever was going to sell it that I would like 1st option. Some years after... Dick was offered ridiculous money (more 2 times what the going price was at the time) and sold it, but regretted it for many years. Looks like that this Riv is still pulling the big dollars when it comes up for sale. Cheers Tom K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericisback Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) I bid on this car up to $99k, and then cracked. I originally thought I could buy it for $80k-$85k all day. What was I thinking?!? The winning bidder was an auto museum curator on the west coast. I had no chance.

TKRIV Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Every now and then a Riv comes up and it's something special. It may not be 100% original or a outstanding resto but it pulls lots of attention. This Black GS is such a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
