Here She is 1965 Buick Riviera!  I have owned a bunch of these and they are my favorite Riviera by Far.  The true factory custom.  I am selling this one to help get a bigger house for my family no other reason.  I really want to keep this car but its time to move on.   It is a great car and I have put a lot of time and money into it.  But time for someone else to finish it and enjoy it.  Here's a description of it, if there is any other info you would like or to see the car locally (which I prefer) feel free to contact me.  


Body:  Car was painted Black Single Stage when I got it.  It had sat outside at the painters so needed a little love.  I have had it buffed once but could use a good cut and polish from a professional.  It is deff driver condition.  There is a typical spot on the rear window on the drivers side (typical for this car) I have posted a picture below.  Other than that there are no dents or big scratches.  It looks beautiful from 5 feet.  Car has the gravel guard bottom trim in great shape also.

Motor:  401 Nailhead with a Edelbrock 4 barrel carb.  It runs like a top.  I have installed Pertronix, a new water pump, A new fan clutch and an aftermarket fan shroud keeps these motors super cool.  It also has brand new glass pack exhaust that are tucked up under the rear quarter panels and is quiet not loud at all  I did a compression check when I got the car and it was fine.  It has no blow by so I would say its in good condition.  That being said I do not know if the motor has been rebuilt, but I have never had a problem its just needs to be cleaned and painted.  

Trans:  The transmission is the ST 400 and I just had it rebuilt about 50 miles ago.  Trans was done, torque converter was rebuilt, driveshaft was rebuilt and new center support bearing and all, also brand new hard cooling hard lines installed. I paid over 2k to have it done by a friend of mine who is an awesome transmission guy.  Like I said I wanted to keep it.  

Floor Pan:  Pan is in great shape no rust and is the cleanest I have ever had.  

Chassis:  THe brakes are newer probably have 2000 miles on them.  Stops great.  Front suspension could deff use a freshen up, complete rebuild kits are not that expensive.  Tracks fine.  Car is super LOW springs are heated but ride fine.  I have a brand new set of front shocks to go with the car, I was going to go through the front end next.  

Interior:  It needs the interior done.  I am in the process of doing it now.  No Carpet.  Headlined spears are there.  Seats are deluxe pattern and are not that bad but need a redo.  Dash is cracked.  I have every item for the interior to redo.  I just chromed all of the interior trim along the inside including the back inside window trim, I paid $500 to chrome it all.  I have extra trim because I bought extra so I would have perfect ones.  NO rear speaker tray cover, the ones from Clarks Corvairs are the BEST.  The center console is perfect NO broken tabs like all the rest.   With a new interior this would be an awesome car.  

Headlights:  Headlights are complete and open and close (manually).  All the arms are there as is the motor.  I am not sure of the condition of the motor it is not hooked up, may work or may need a rebuild.  One of the clams hangs up a little so that might be why I got it unconnected.  

Bumpers:  I just re-chromed the front top bumper and it looks great. I installed a super nice lower front bumper the old one was bent.   I have the plate mount and plate side covers in great shape.  Rear bumper is in decent shape could use a re-chrome.  

I know I am forgetting somethings and you guys are welcome to ask.  I am not trying to hide anything.  Car is in decent shape.  These cars are going up in value as we all know so my reserve is more that fair.  I would really like to sell the car locally so the buyer can check it out.  I am willing to help with shipping all I can.  I do NOT have a car shipper you will have to handle that part.  Car is for Sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early.  Now do NOT bid on the car if you are not serious.  You did not talk to your wife, do not have all the money whatever! I really want this car to go to a great home so lets get this thing sold to a true Riviera guy!  Good luck

The 2018 Buick Regal is now a hatchback and a wagon

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Buick has long been General Motors' most traditional brand. With the launch of the 2018 Regal, it's now arguably GM's most risk-taking brand. Buick is turning its midsize staple into a hatchback, called the Regal Sportback, and a wagon, the Regal TourX. Revealed Tuesday afternoon at GM's historic Design Dome in Warren, Mich., the cars will go on sale in the fall after next week's public debut at the New York Auto Show. "At Buick we can try things other people haven't tried," GM product chief Mark Reuss said. The wagon – though Reuss was reluctant to call it one – is a longer (3.4 inches), higher-riding (0.6 inches) version of the Regal Sportback. It's the first Buick wagon since the 1990s Roadmaster, and it's aimed at the seemingly never-satiated crossover market in the United States. View 12 Photos The TourX will compete against the Volvo XC60 Cross Country, Audi A4 Allroad, Subaru Outback, and BMW 3 Series wagon. The Buick offers up 73.5 cubic feet of storage space behind the front seats and is all-wheel drive only. Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 250 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque that teams with an eight-speed automatic transmission. "It's something that is very different and very beautiful, and it's a good alternative for Buick to try," Reuss said. The Sportback, meanwhile, offers the same four-cylinder and eight-speed trans as the TourX in AWD trim. The Sportback also offers a front-wheel-drive model that uses a four-cylinder paired with a nine-speed automatic, and the engine is rated at 250 hp and 260 lb-ft in that setup. With swoopy creased styling, the Regal Sportback offers a slightly different riff on the crowded sedan segment, which GM says still has three million annual retail sales. On a side note, Saab fans might feel some old wounds at the sight of the hatchback Buick, as the 5-door 9-3 was axed by GM in an attempt to make the model more mainstream before the brand's demise. Both models will offer front pedestrian braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, OnStar and seven-inch or eight-inch touchscreens with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As expected, the Regals are based on the Opel Insignia, and they will be built in Ruesselsheim, Germany. Reuss said GM plans to build the Regals there after the company sells Opel to PSA. He also said GM isn't concerned about potential border/import taxes that could be levied by the Trump Administration. "I don't know what the border tax is," he said.

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models

Fri, Jan 30 2015

While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.
