I gave one fender a rubdown with Blue Lightning to get most of the rust stains off, and it polished up pretty well. A friend got it running, and although it blew out two piles of muffler shreds out of the tailpipes, he was able to move it around the yard using the e-brake to stop. I'll post a couple shots of it soon.

As promised:

My father once owned a Red '65 Riviers GS with the dual quad 425 in the late Seventies. It was one of his favorite cars and that's really saying something after everything that he's owned! I always wanted one for myself and it finally happened when my father found a one-owner survivor, Yellow '65 while hitting the Wednesday morning garage sales. Even the original Protect-0-plate had the address that I purchased the car from. They are very, very cool cars.

I'm currenlty in the same state of mind. Congratulations, you're one step ahead.

Welcome back to the club! Can't wait to see this.

[flamingokid]

I've been going back and forth between a '63 Bird or a '63 Riviera as a dedicated daily driver.I just can't make up my mind....

[BURN OUT BOB]

Good on ya. Now go join the rivy owners club as they put out an awsome mag. I had a 69 & a 65 & just sold the 65 now I have none. I believe the club is hdqtrs in Colorado.

Good job Ryan! I will eventually have another one too. Had a 65 when I was 18, too young to appreciate it then. Can't wait for the pictures.

I love WWW's on a RIv, it like a hat on a pimp!! Like you said Sill Mitchell ran 'em, end of story... Congrats, can't wait to see it, and thanx for the support..

[CTaulbert]

dammit Ryan...this in no way helps my obsession with these Rivieras (I have a major desire to own one)....hope to see you in Baltimore

[55olds88]

Well done, I can understand that purchase, they are cool cars, I was tossing up over a cheap one on here for months and probably should have grabbed it @@!!

[Scotts Enterprises]

Hmmmm... I like Riv's
Years ago I tried to talk a guy out of his 65 dual quad, he wouldnt go for it...
It rotted over time and was eventually hauled away as junk.
Still pisses me off when I think about it.

I know, sad story...get out the tissues to wipe away the tears.

Ryan

Well do I see another web site in your future.

THE RIVIERA JOURNAL !!!!!!!!!


Watch that guy that bought the other one. He's bad news. HA

[bb1970]

I could go for the Riv Journal!!!!!!!!!!!! But I'd settle for a new HAMB t-shirt that incorporates a Buick tri-shield logo. hint hint. Go ahead and put my name on the list.

I heard thru the grapevine that you passed the pipe on to my other partner. :-)
