1966 Buick Riviera Gran Sport
THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare collectible classic 1966 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT COUPE!
Finished in "Burgundy Mist" metallic over burgundy, this splendid 50 YEAR-OLD classic shows just over 23,000 miles on its working five-digit odometer. The actual miles is believed to be 123,000 but I cannot 100% verify this to be true. So with that being said, you are looking at an exceptional 1966Gran sport coupe! This 99.9% clean, dry rust-free specimen features a great running 425 cubic inch "nail head" V8 engine mated to the factory automatic transmission, This rare classic features bucket seats, ALL NEW WORKING A/C with updated 134R refrigerant, original am radio plus glove-box mounted Panasonic cassette stereo, special ordered roll-up windows, factory 15" alloy wheels and custom California license plate, This classic Riv just received......within the last 500 miles...$11,000 in mechanical servicing at a renowned Bay area service facility [details available upon request] ready for driving anywhere. It is being sold with clear and clean California title and the associated recent maintenance records.
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in EXCELLENT, VERY NICE DRIVER-QUALITY condition throughout! The paint has a deep lustrous shine to its finish with nice original contrasting chrome and trim pieces. The paint was refinished many years ago by the previous owner and still presents well. I would rate the exterior of this car a solid 7.5-8 on a scale of 1-10. Imperfections include some pitting on the original chrome and trim, light scratches, some rock nicks and paint nicks and other minor blemishes. While a notch or two away from concourse quality, this is a beautiful sunny driver that would present well at any classic car show.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic Buick starts perfectly, runs very well with excellent torquey acceleration, smooth shifting automatic transmission, superb braking with excellent power brake feel, buttery smooth steering and supple suspension and smooth power steering. Overall this is one beautiful half-century old cruiser that garners attention everywhere you drive it!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this car is in EXCELLENT condition throughout....very good seat upholstery, nice headliner, original steering wheel, virtually PERFECT vinyl dash, nice door panels, working odometer and groovy dial speedometer, cold air conditioning, good heat, nauge works and the auxiillary ice classic stereo, working lights and blinkers. The factory temp gauge functions, the horn and factory am radio are inop.
