You suck. I hate you. Give me the car and all will be forgiven

 

Congrats... awesome car, I WILL have one some day...

 

If I weren't so happy for you, I would be jealous and hateful. Nice score.

 

Very nice...definately one of my "gotta have" cars. Let us know when you get it running, and post some more pics

 

what you got lined up for it

 

used to race some at atco while i was in ft dix, now why can't i post about a 65 biscayne big block car and this riv can?, dont get it, but I do like the riv man.. good project......

 

one of my favorites had one in high school gran sport duel quads ac loaded .held its own against chevelles, camaros, mustangs,mopars, i miss it a lot 30 years later.great score, good luck

I had a '63 that I bought in 1969 for $800. Got 8 miles to the gallon but gas was about $.30 per gallon then. Loved that car. Not trying to make a sob story, but I had to sell the car in 1973 so I could get home to my Dads' funeral. Sold if for the price of a plane ticket. I think it was $250. Just a few years ago you pick up a nice one for about $7,000. They're getting expensive now. Yours is beautiful you lucky man!!!

 

Why can't you? The 64 deal is for the ads. Great score you lucky fucker! I for one would love to see/hear of an ass kickin Biscayne from back in the day. Those were definately NOT muscle cars but a carryover from a day soon to be gone forever. Now if it was a 65 Chevelle I could see a degree of mis-placement. Am I alone here?

 

Way cool

60s Rivieras look sooooo evil...

what are your plans for it ?

 

Lookin' good Skip! Hope to see it in the spring!

To tell ya the truth ... the 65 Riv is probably the ONLY car that gets thru the crack ..... "ya see -- the boss LOVES Rivs and they're so alike he lets them slide ..... do a search --find a bunch of pics/posts about the 65 Riv ......

. jersey Skip

 

well i am putting one together just got it back on chassis .. all new 468 turbo 400 dog dish , red lines, etc old ladys car rust free...

 

True enough and I agree about the similarity of the 63-65. My question is regarding the application vs the year. We got a Thunderbolt post going and if ever there was a musclecar...but it is no doubt historic. I figure that since they raced the full size cars in the early days and there were some holdouts to those. And there were a few 65s with the 409...awesome and kool as hell. It is a really good lookin car. Fuckin near as nice as a Riv

 

Welcome to the Club!
Along from all the cool stuff about Rivi's is the fact that who could afford these back in the early-mid '60's? Dentist, Lawyers, Doctors? They were so advanced on the LUX scale then.

 

Yea, yea...........in 6 months you'll have it on here for sale. You don't deserve such a nice piece! You've gotten rid of more nice cars in the past year than I've owned in my life!!! YOU SUCK!!!

 

Pat .... Now you know most of the stuff I posted was for friends ( you probably got the pics up for me) I'm not THAT fickle man ......... I only WISH they were all mine .....I DID get to drive some COOOL stuff tho' ........ hey --did ya notice I finally can POST PICS ???

........ skip

 

That is sweeeeeeeeeeet! Nice score. Astros? Thin-line whites?

I know that's what everyone does, but man it looks soooooo good!

 

65 Rivieras are totally GAY!!!

Nice car, I miss my 64 Riviera some times, great riding and driving cars. 65 is the best looking of the 63-65 series.

 

Nice score.
