Vehicle Detail
Up for Auction is my 1963 Buick Riviera. This car is originally from California, as you can see the restored original CA Black Plates already on it. This is a very nice driver and would not take a whole lot to make it a show car. The car sat for many years in CA, and was brought back to life a few years ago, with a complete engine rebuild. It also has a brand new headliner, upholstered dash and front / rear seats, brakes, etc.. The car runs and drives perefectly and can be driven anywhere, with confidence. It has power windows, seats, antenna, and steering. Also has tilt steering wheel. The original BUICK radio is still in the car and still works. The speedometer does not work (probably needs a new cable). THIS IS THE LAST TIME I AM LISTING THE CAR and it is now Listed at NO RESERVE Some new additions: New Fan Clutch New Water Pump New Fan Shroud New Thermostat New Oil Temp Sender New Hoses / Belts (with spares) New Hood insulation New rear view mirror New Door thresholds Triple chromed rear bumper included but not installed new rear tailight chrome housings many other small parts, decals, etc As far as a driver, you can't beat this car. It has a 401 Nailhead, all original numbers matching car. Original color was blue and has been painted black. There are some surface rust bubbles on the rear quarter panels, the left rear window area and one on the trunk. The undercarriage of the car is solid. The gas tank has been cleaned and is perfect. In my opinion, the car will need to be painted again in the future if it is to be show quality. At 20 feet, the car looks awesome, but some better prep work could have been done by whoever painted it the last time. I will include all records, receipts, manuals, car cover, original parts, etc. There are boxes to come with it. This car is a sleeper and has started to show it's increase in value. I'd keep it, but I am about to inherit my father's 1st car, which I MUST make room for. TERMS; 25% DOWN NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION END.
