Customs Whereabouts of "Fancy Pants" 1965? Riviera??

i know my dad made some changes over the years so i dont know what all he changed. i do know the motor was changed to a 502 interior is completely different still has the chrome undercarriage

 

Looking at the last pic you posted, I'd say that's it.
Louvered firewall, Grill/headlights are consistent. As is the antenna location on the passenger front fender.

 

its def it. my dad was searching forever to find the photos of when he bought it of the pink fancy pants.

 

Has your Dad seen these?

oh hes going to love this!

 

just a fyi for everyone interested the car is now called rivi rat or just tha rivi as me and my siblings call it

 

I traded Fancy Pants for a 36 Ford Chopped Sedan owned by Jim Fortune in Beulah, Colo. He painted the car black and put a black interior in it. These are some pictures I got from Jim in 2009.

 

@LWolfe I was wondering if you had seen this....

 

Jim Fortune put the wing windows and door glass back in the car. It didn't have any door glass in it when I had it.. I had the upholstery wrapped over the top of the door. Dave Stuckey built the louvered panel across the firewall.

 

what year was that? the car still looks like those photos but it is satin black now

 

i think my dad is considering selling it

 

I found this photo that Starbird took right after the car was finished to put in one of his car show magazines.

 

WOW. I didn't know the car was back in Pueblo!

 

Here`s a color version of the picture that looks like it was taken the same day from one of his show car magazines.

 

Hello Larry Wolfe
A recent CL post, Sacramento CA, credits you.
Somebody is selling a 65 Buick Riviera with your "Fancy pants" interior.
It's not "Fancy Pants" (the 65 Riv)... Its just the interior of "Fancy Pants", that you developed for "Fancy Pants".
I will try to get a link to you.

DAMN IT!

 

Good to see that interior intact. It should really be reunited with the car.

 

The rear pillar panels...


I wonder where they ended up. I remember Jeff telling me about someone that said they had them.

Also wonder if that Riviera (the one with the interior) had the decklid panel?

 

Terry Dunham from Pueblo Colo brought this quarter panel to me a few years ago. The guy that had the original interior out of the car still had the quarter panels so he gave one to Terry to give to me. I finally got around to making Garage Wall Art out of it this summer.

 

@LWolfe That is COOL!
