1965 Buick Rivera Gran Sport 425/465 Super Wildcat - Dual Quad Matt Garrett - Dallas Texas - 214-878-3823 1965 Buick Riviera GS! 1965 Buick Rivera Gran Sport, Flame Red/Black. 465 Super Wildcat 10:25:1 Dual Quad Engine, Super Turbine 400 Transmission with Variable Pitch Converter and 3:42 Posi Track Rear end, Al-Fin Brakes. One of 3354 Grand Sport Rivieras built. Fully optioned with AC, Cruise, Tilt Wood Wheel, Power Antenna, AM/FM, chrome 15" rally wheels, rare black vinyl top, upgrade cloth interior....and riding on 1965 Original Goodyear Bias Polyglass 8.4x15 tri-band tires!! One of the finest Bill Mitchell designs, if not the single finest. A pinnacle car from a pinnacle era. The Riv of 63-65 platform was shared by no other GM car and 65 is considered the best Buick Riviera of all times. Then add the rare GS option with the Dual Quad engine.... you got the best of the best and the most rare of the rare. This rare and authentic Riv GS was added to the collection in 5/2012. Prior to GM-Classics, it was in a single owner's hands for over 30 years. Larry is a well known lifetime Buick enthusiast in that circle and this car holds many awards and titles under his care. It took many years for Larry and I to reach an agreement to where he would part with this gem. This Riv also has had a lot of exposure in publications over its life, a few are shown here. This is probably the single most noted and awarded 65 Riv GS in the world. General Motor's themselves has a 65 GS Riv in their Heritage Collection.... It is nothing like this car by any comparison, so even the General does not have a GS this nice in captivity. What is nice about his car... it is NOT a restoration!!!! It has had a comprehensive cosmetic refinish on the exterior in terms of paint alone (almost 30 years ago), but nothing major has been torn apart on this car and the car has never experienced any "neglect" in its life that would allow it to be left for a better day. The vinyl top is its day one original, the interior down to the carpet is original an not tampered with either. The car has a light level of patina to it, but given the fact of its age, it crosses the line of being nicer than it should be for original. The motor has NOT been out of the car or taken apart and certainly the body has never been off the frame, etc. The car has 60K authentic, well kept... and yes most important, collector owned garaged miles. Under the hood has had a comprehensive detail and the carbs were rebuilt. The exhaust system is a FACTORY NOS entire system that was put on in the 80s. and is still like new! Car is riding on original day 1 Delco Shocks, al\though you will see I have a new set of era correct Delco Pleasurizers for it too that will go on it in my hands. This car has been a noted show car for 30 years... Prior to that it was garaged in the hands of another Buick owner and kept perfect too. His name is still on the dash. Its history is stellar in terms of cars of this era. Every aspect of this car functions to new spec still today. The Riviera GS is a muscle car that crosses boundaries from a very capable street fighter to a high end luxury car. Because of that, and because it cost more than just about any other muscle car of the era makes for the possibility for one like this to exist in original form. Something this expensive was less likely have the standard issue muscle car abuse and neglect program given to GTOs, camaros, etc... then slapped back together then called original today. If you could buy one of these new, you probably had a nice home and garage to park it in making it more of an adult muscle car that could survive honestly! This is one of the most honest muscle cars I have ever encountered.. and I would own a ton of other model muscle cars...... if I actually found an honest one. I just see through too much when it comes to cars... and this one has enough depth that I cannot see through. It is easier for me to find these low mile rare brand new Cadillacs that are 30-50 years old vs a truly honest and well cared for muscle car. This is one of the few.
CLICK ANY PHOTO FOR AN EXTREME BLOW UP! A true Bill Mitchell Masterpiece One of the best looking front ends ever done. A Mitchell Masterpiece... Buick photo of THIS car for Calendar. Buick photo of THIS car for Calendar. Magazine articles, late 80s, early 90s.... THIS car.
Meadowbrook in the 90s, 1st place... entire show. Actual miles. Shot of original Rallys and original tri-band Polyglass tires AC and Heat.... and AC is R12 and works to spec in all modes (as does heat).. and the compressor is the ORIGINAL. Perfect clamshells and grille. The open and close like new. The "R" hood ornamant Yes these are 65 date coded tires from this car as new. "Custom Made" for 1st owner plaque put on when new. The "gran sport" glove box cover. Incredible No teen activity in this one. Again, every aspect of the interior is original and as nice as you will ever see. All 4 day 1 T3 headlamps in the car. Spare is 5th original tri-band goodyear polyglass tire on Buick rally Jack never used... really... Warranty/Protecto Plate. Original owner from 65-71. 2nd owner from 71 until I got it. Zoom in on any photo... This should speak volumes. Dash chrome, controls, gauges, radio, wheel and all like a 1 year old car. This is not a typical "nice old car'... It is one of the best if not the best original 65 Rivs. The famous Buick Nailhead Wildcat Dual Quad Gran Sport Engine. 425 CID. Trim Tag, Cruise, Booster/master and WW bottle. . Under hood is very original, engine/trans never out of this car. Perfect original headliner and visors. Really neat cloth/brocade seats. Talk about a time capsule This interior is that . The carpet is day 1 original and like new as the whole thing. Antenna up. This is a 5 ft antenna extended. They wanted it to be a lightning rod I guess. Antenna Down..... Why did they not make it go into the fender????? Pointless design.... Rear arm rest, center speaker. NOS Delco shocks from the 60s/70s. Car still on original shocks. Above, a vintage FL photo of a Riv. Not this car as its never been there, just a neat photo. |

We really want to use an eCrate to restomod an old GM car. Here's what we'd build
Fri, Oct 30 2020You hopefully saw the news today of GM's introduction of its Connect and Cruise eCrate motor and battery package, which effectively makes the Bolt's electric motor, battery pack and myriad other elements available to, ah, bolt into a different vehicle. It's the same concept as installing a gasoline-powered crate motor into a classic car, but with electricity and stuff. This, of course, got us thinking about what we'd stuff the eCrate into. Before we got too ahead of ourselves, however, we discovered that the eCrate battery pack is literally the Bolt EV pack in not only capacity but size and shape. In other words, you need to have enough space in the vehicle to place and/or stuff roughly 60% of a Chevy Bolt's length. It's not a big car, but that's still an awful lot of real estate. There's a reason GM chose to simply plop the pack into the bed and cargo area of old full-size SUVs. Well that, and having a rear suspension beefy enough to handle about 1,000 pounds of batteries. So after that buzz kill, we still wanted to peruse the GM back catalog for classics we'd love to see transformed into an electric restomod that might be able to swallow all that battery ... maybe ... possibly ... whatever, saws and blow torches exist for a reason. 1971 Buick Riviera Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: If you’re going to build an electric conversion, why not do it with style? ThatÂ’s why IÂ’m choosing a 1971-1973 Buick Riviera. You know, the one with the big glass boat-tail rear end that ends in a pointy V. Being a rather large vehicle with a big sloping fastback shape, IÂ’m hoping thereÂ’s enough room in the trunk and back seat to pack in the requisite battery pack. That would likely require cutting away some of the metal bulkhead that supports the rear seatback, but not so much that a wee bit of structural bracing couldnÂ’t shore things up. The big 455-cubic-inch Buick V8 up front will obviously have to go. Remember, this was the 1970s, so despite all that displacement, the Riviera only had around 250 horsepower (depending on the year and the trim level). So the electric motorÂ’s 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque ought to work as an acceptable replacement.  1982 Chevrolet S10 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: OK, so the name "E-10" is already taken by a completely different truck, but let's not let labels get in the way of a fun idea.
GM recalls 51k Enclave, Traverse, Acadia crossovers over fuel gauge inaccuracy
Mon, 05 May 2014With all eyes fixed on General Motors in the wake of the ignition recall debacle, the auto giant has been carefully calling in a wide array of vehicles to fix anything and everything that could prove problematic. Just the other day it issued two separate recalls - one concerning the Cadillac SRX and another its heavy-duty pickups - and now it is issuing another.
This time the vehicles in question are the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia, three fullsize crossovers based on GM's Lambda platform. In an estimated 51,640 units manufactured between March 26 and August 15, 2013, the engine control module has been found to incorrectly display the level of fuel in the tank.
As a result, owners are being notified to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the ECU reflashed to fix the problem. View the full details in the announcement below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
