FOR SALE: BEAUTIFUL 1965 BUICK RIVIERA WITH CORRECT DUAL QUADS.
2 OWNER CAR. I PURCHASED IT IN 1997 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS WIFE WITH 24k MILES.
BODY: REPAINTED IN 2004. THE CAR WAS STRIPPED TO BARE METAL. ALL PANELS & GLASS WERE REMOVED. VERY MINOR BODY WORK WAS NEEDED (DINGS & MINOR SURFACE RUST). PPG BASE COAT CLEAR COAT WAS USED. WET SANDED & BUFFED. THE BODY IS LASER STRAIGHT! THE PAINT STILL LOOKS AMAZING!
INTERIOR: THE INTERIOR SHOWS WELL. BUT IS AGED. SEATS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. CARPET IS FADED & WORN. COULD USE REPLACING. HEADLINER WAS REPLACE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL STYLE. WOODGRAIN INSERTS ARE SHOWING AGE. ALL IN ALL THE INTERIOR IS CLEAN & VERY PRESENTABLE BUT SHOWING AGE.
ENGINE & TRANS: ENGINE RUNS VERY STRONG! NO KNOCKING. TICKING OR SMOKING. IT DOES NOT BURN ANY OIL. BUT HAS DEVELOPED A MINOR OIL PAN SEEPAGE. IT'S NOT BAD. BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD MENTION IT. I ADDED THE DUAL QUAD SET UP IN 2008. I WAS PLANNING ON CLONING IT AS A GRAN SPORT. BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION/DISTRIBUTOR WAS ALSO ADDED AT THAT TIME. TRANS WAS REBUILT WITH A SHIFT KIT IN 2009. IT CHIRPS THE TIRES NICELY INTO 2ND GEAR WITH LITTLE EFFORT. IT DRIVES & BRAKES NICELY.
THE FLOORS & FRAME ARE VERY SOLID. THERE IS SOME MINOR SURFACE RUST THAT CAN EASILY BE CLEANED & SPRAYED OVER. NEW SHOCKS & COIL SPRINGS ON THE REAR.
ALL MOLDINGS & CHROME ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. NOT SHOW QUALITY. BUT VERY NICE DRIVER QUALITY.
ISSUES:HEADLAMP MOTOR IS WEAK. WILL NEED A REBUILD ($250). GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING. NEEDS SENDING UNIT($65). A/C & HEATER BLOWER FAN STOPPED WORKING LAST SPRING. A/C LAST WORKED IN 2010. IT HAS NOT BEEN CONVERTED TO R-134. POWER SEAT IS SLUGGISH. RIGHT REAR WINDOW IS VERY SLOW. SCRATCH ON RIGHT FENDER (SEEN IN PICS). CHIP TOUCHED UP ON DECK LID (SEEN IN PIC). I MAY BE NIT PICKING WITH THIS STUFF. BUT I DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES FOR THE BUYER.
THESE CARS ARE STEADILY INCREASING IN VALUE. NADA GUIDES VALUE FOR THIS ONE RANGES BETWEEN $20. 60 & $42. 10. SO I BELIEVE IT'S PRICED QUITE FAIRLY. I'VE SEEN OTHERS NOT AS NICE SELL FOR MORE. PLUS MINE HAS THE VERY DESIRABLE DUAL QUADS.  
THIS IS A GREAT CAR THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE TO SELL. BUT AT 45 I DECIDED TO GET MARRIED AGAIN. WE'VE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE. I HAVE TOO MANY CARS. NOT ENOUGH SPACE & I NEED THE CASH.
MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE TO SERIOUS BUYERS. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS & HAVE FUNDS AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING AN OFFER. ALL REASONABLE/SERIOUS OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED. THE CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. SO I MAY END THE LISTING EARLY.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING MY LISTING.
