1964 Buick Riviera

Buick Riviera (1964)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

An American original!! Bill Mitchell referred to his design as something between a Ferrari and a Rolls. This car was sold on E-Bay a few weeks ago, but the deal fell through due to non payment. I am relisting it at the same low reserve price.
I purchased the car 25 years ago and it has been stored every winter since. It is a beautiful car, and I was struck at the time by its originality (other than paint), so have attempted to keep the car in that condition. Several mechanical repairs have been made, including new alternator, fuel pump, exhaust system, carburetor and radiator rebuild, etc., but very little cosmetic work has been required. The upholstery and carpets are original, and other than a few small splits in the front seat bottoms, are in very good condition for a 51 year old car. Replacement seat covers matching original can be purchased very reasonably.
There is a small dent in the left rear quarter panel (see pic.), and the older paint job, although it still looks good, could use a refresh.
The engine is a 425 cu. in., 340 hp nail head V8 and runs strongly. The 465 on the air cleaner refers to the ft. lb. of torque the engine produces. Suspension is in good condition, and the car drives beautifully. Options include power windows, power drivers seat, adjustable steering wheel, and air conditioning (currently not working). A new heater core is needed (new part comes with the car, but needs to be installed). The odometer reads 77, 000 miles, and although I have now way of verifying that number, seams reasonable considering the condition of the brake pedal, etc.
Car is located close to Bangor International Airport, and I can provide transportation to and from the airport if you would like to view or take it for a test drive. Send me a message if you have any questions.
The car is a real head-turner, and will make a great investment for the next owner. Priced below book; the reason I am selling it is the need space in our garage as winter is coming.
