Customs 1965 Buick Riveria-To new for the H.A.M.B.?

I just bought one yesterday. Where can I find everything about these cars?

 

have you not been paying attention at all? Damn 2 1/2 years and you don't know? There are probably 20 threads that are loaded with Rivieras. I'm sure there are a couple of build threads.

 

I really LOVE mid-'60's Buick Riveria's, One of the Nicest cars of that era in my opoinion! On my list of wanted cars for sure.Really nice mild custom, early low rider,one of the best uses for Astro Supremes!

65 Rivieras are totally gay.






Yeah, yeah...I own one.

.

 

V8Buick.com has alot of info. Scroll down to 'da Nailhead forum.

 

AACCA has a Riviera section....... And there are some serious Riv nuts on there. I learned a bunch for my 64 on there.
Yes there are custom Riv's on this as well, not just stockers.

Riv's rule

 

Ooops, maybe it's just the AACA. Antique Automobile Club of America

 

You can join the ROA (Riviera Owners Association) for about $30 a year and get a news letter and access to lots of info on their site. I joined while I was building my 64 and got lots of good info. If you need parts for it check out Clarks Corvair... great people to deal with and quality parts.

 

Damn, I'm dumb. At two in the morning Riviera is hard to spell correctly, no wonder I didn't find anything with a search. Thanks guys.

 

Damn richard why you always got to go and get the stuff i want lol


Cant wait to see it man

 

No Rivieras here, move on Richard.

 

You took a few pictures of it at the Los Cochinos party.



I just went and got some sanding discs, gotta get that nasty surface rust gone.

 

FUCK that is NICE Richard, you LUCKY sod!Sits nice too, '65 gotta be a good year I was born in '65!!!

 

Damn we all drooled on that car and i never had a clue it was yours. I really like it brother we should have a sanding party at your house lol

 

It appears to be a Gran Sport also. And looks like it is already on Air Bags... Good score!

 

Richard...Rivieras are just a great car and they are easily customized/personalized and just a great cruiser...finishing up mine (just little details now) and it's just a blast to cruise...have fun with yours and looking forward to see what you do with it...here's a pic of mine

 

Your in good company man I have a 65 Rivi as well. Shes gettin ready for the roundup enjoy the hell out of it man they are a blast!!

 

bitchin score richard..

 

Wasn't mine yet; but one three A.M. test drive sealed the deal. The car has airbags already installed, but whoever did it yeas ago did a shitty job; we just got through re-welding the shock mount that broke off. No biggie. I already have the hood off and it's sanded down; gonna get some paint tomorrow and do a twenty footer special on it, the roof, and the decklid. Dark Horse next Sunday!

 

I was told by the guy I bought it from, as well as another friend who knows Rivis, including and this particular car, (and has a bad ass '65 himself)that it is not a GS, just has the emblems and glove box door from a GS. I don't care, I'm still stoked.

 

Sweet ride, I would be stoked too. Rivieras are awesome!

 

Nice score! I used to have a 65 Riv GS, I miss that car, but I honestly think a non-GS makes a better custom. Besides, you don't want to piss off all the resto purists you'll run into! Haha

 

Cool man i will try to remember to bring the camera

 

God, I miss mine! I had a '65 GS that my old man was building when he passed away. I ended up with the car but, sadly, couldn't afford to finish it. I ended up selling it to a guy outside of Independence, MO for way less than it was worth. That's the only time I ever actually CRIED when a car left my driveway.

 

when they're lowered down like that, does it screw with the strut rods on the frontend? Do they drive bad while lowered?

 

60's buicks are the land yachts of the car world

 

says the guy who hasn't had a 1970's Buick...

I sure loved my '64 Rivi...great handling, fast cars!

 

wish i still had my 66 I know it was a little new but i liked the grill and bodylines!
great score richard have fun!! that car looks great!!!

 

i still want one of these...and I'm a ford guy primarily..haha
