1965 Buick Riviera6.6l on 2040-cars
Minden, Nevada, United States
|
Up for “NO RESERVE” auction is my 1965 Buick Riviera with front end collision damage. My father purchased the car in 1989 and car located since new in Las Vegas and moved to northern Nevada where it has been garaged (even after collision). That means there is no rust. Car was originally bronze and was repainted to the color you see. I have all receipts since October 1989 validating mileage. Included with purchase are shop manuals, frame chart (will be needed on front frame) and several copies of Riviera Owners Assoc. magazines with good tips, etc. I was in the process of collecting necessary parts to rebuild the car. These include front grille, fan shroud, power steering pump, extra headlight(s), one outer fender and I can’t remember what else (over $1000). Parts that I’ve removed and are fine are included. Riviera emblems and trim pieces are fine. Windshield is cracked from the impact (I broadsided a vehicle at about 15MPH). I’ve kept all the crunched pieces. 401 Nailhead motor is numbers matching & not rebuilt and runs fine (was still running after collision with battery & power steering pump bashed). Had removed fuel tank & cleaned. Headliner is completely intact. Original upholstery, side panels, etc. will need replaced/restored. Tires have 400 miles on them on Ralley wheels. Power windows, seats and rare air-conditioner (blew warm air). Original headlight motors worked great. I really wanted to get this car back on the road but now need the garage space and don’t want to leave it out in the weather. Car is very rebuildable. My loss is your gain. Vehicle is located near Carson City, Nevada and is available for inspection. The car is being sold in “As-Is” condition with salvage title and buyer is responsible for pick-up and/or transport. If you have questions, please ask and thanks for looking. |

Watch this phantom Buick drive itself down the highway in a snow storm
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Years ago, General Motors used Buick cars to test out the idea of a "smart highway" concept. More recently, GM has been talking up its award-winning Super Cruise semi-autonomous technology that will roll out with Cadillac and make its way to Buick. The LeSabre in the video above has nothing to do with any of that.
On Interstate 15 in Utah, a man driving this LeSabre got into an accident that rearranged the front end and set the horn on permanent blare. At the time of writing this, no one is sure what happened next, but the man ended up sitting in the snow in the highway median while his car carried on down the highway without him. Passing traffic stayed well to the right.
The 51-second video below provides a different take on our autonomous future. A local newscast on KUTV covered the story the evening of the incident, but the Utah Highway Patrol didn't have any update on the fate of the LeSabre. We'll take that to mean that Buick's take on Christine could still be out on the prowl... so watch out!
Opel Cascada close to getting green light for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013For a company with a long tradition of grand touring convertibles, it's almost unseemly that General Motors doesn't offer a properly relaxed four-seat convertible in North America. There's the Chevrolet Camaro, of course, but it's not big on rear-seat space and it doesn't offer that sort of serene demeanor that many open-air buyers crave. We're thinking of something more refined and, dare we say, elegant. Something a bit closer to the Opel Cascada.
The General's front-wheel drive convertible went on sale in Europe this year, and while it seemed like a natural fit for its Buick brand in America, it's never been sold here. That may be about to change, however. Back in June, CEO Dan Akerson hinted he'd like to see the Cascada available in the US, and now there's word from Edmunds that importation "could happen soon." That's according to an unnamed insider at the company.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
