    Welcome from Australia........great find! I always wanted a boat-tail....for like 25+ years......then I discovered the 67-68 Wildcat 2dr fastback shape ... and I was sold on them and now have a 68. But I still love yours.....

    There is a guy here in Beulah that had one he was going to Derby, don't know if he did this year or not but PM me if you want his info. He does not use the Buick motors and was going to buy it from him but found another source and snagged quit a few 455's

    Thanks. I'll let you know. I'm connected to the derby community and have a 455 from a 74 buick 225 lined up already. I've maybe smashed a few cars myself but always felt that I had to save one eventually.

    Welcome from ND!
    I have a couple boat rails and they are THE BEST road trip cars! Like sitting on a couch floating on a cloud....

    Thanks. They do ride awesome. What part of ND? I might have to swing by and check out your boat tails sometime.

    I'm in the NW corner kind of by Williston.
    I work in Williston, so any excuse to drive the Riviera to work!
    Those green Rivieras remind me of the Due South series... Canadian humor and good taste in cars. I think that's what got me bit by the boat tail bug.
