I am looking for the very best '65 Riviera GS in show car condition. What's the best "65 out there or some of the very best. Looking to ad to my car collection. Thanks in advance.
There was a nice gold one, sold at Barrett-Jackson for US$ 137,500 at the beginning of this year. This matching-numbers 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport is powered by a rebuilt 425ci V8 engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission with a 3.42 posi-traction rear end. The engine features dual-quad carburetors, aluminum valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. Rides on heavy-duty 1-inch lowering suspension. The deluxe interior is equipped with additional features that include 4-note horns, cruise control, an AM/FM radio, Buick floor mats, a tilt steering column, power windows, power vent windows, air conditioning, quick-ratio steering, a vacuum trunk release, rear-window defrost, a Buick trunk mat and a rear-seat center armrest. The exterior features a rechromed front, bumpers, valance and other parts; working clamshell headlights; an Autotronic headlight dimmer and Gran Sport badging. It also has a purse clip, polished stainless-steel trim throughout, ribbed rocker molding, Soft Ray factory-tinted glass, California Black Plates and a complete spare tire with a jack and rear speaker. This car retains its original engine and was born with an LX-code, VIN-matching engine and an original BS-coded switch pitch SP400 transmission. This Gran Sport has had the exhaust replaced with a factory-quality Waldron's stainless-steel exhaust system. Rides on rechromed Rally wheels and triple-line whitewall tires.

I wonder what kind of "show" are you talking about? There is quite a range between MCACN and your local hamburger joint.
He says he wants "the very best '65 Riviera GS", and he's also asking "What's the best "65 out there", so he has to pay the big bucks....
