Hey guys, I just bought a '52 DeSoto wagon, and all of a sudden I have no desire, no room, no money, and no time I want to devote to the Riviera project I've been tinkering with. So, I'm gonna pull the engine and transmission, the A/C unit, the fuel tank, brake booster, the AirRids system, all the stuff I'd put in the DeSoto, and sell the Riviera a roller project, or parts car. Nice straight, nearly rust free body. I did replace the floor pans as it'd been setting for a decade in Michigan with the windows cracked open. All the power window motors replaced, lubed, tracks and gl*** aligned properly so all the windows go up and down. Buick rally wheels. '65 grill, headlights hidden behind the park lamp towers, front bumper deleted, although I have all the stock stuff, including the pretty nice, driver quality bumper for the front, and near perfect rear to replace the damaged one in the photos. Inner fenders and core support painted gloss black. The rest of the car is original patina'd paint. Lots of extra trim, stainless is near perfect, nice late model black leather power front buckets and rear seat that looks perfect in the car, and the original interior complete needing upholstery. Extra door skins, gl***, etc. Come and get it, $1500. I want it GONE. I DO NOT have the Nailhead, it came with no drivetrain, that's how it'll leave...
