1964 Buick Riviera Bagged 20 inch rims

 Nice running Bagged -64 Riviera ready for a new owner


Time to make room for my next project so I decided to sell this Bad "Riv64"

This is a fun Daily Driver and Not a $50K Show car where you will win a lot of trophy's with
but you can take it to a local car show and drop it down and enjoy it as is.....

Its a approximate 10 year old build car, still looks good and get attention.

Buick Riviera Engine, Runs Very Strong,
Transmission shift fine (I think it is a TH400 or TS400 which was the first year for this Trans)
Nail head V-8, (I think it is a 425 and It feels like it has been rebuilt)
Newer Edelbrock 600cmf carburetor
Stock intake 
Newer Aluminum Radiator
Pearl white exterior paint,
Black interior,
20 Inch wheels and tires,
Air bag suspension,
Two 3 gallon air tanks
Four solenoid air valves
Two air pumps
New Chromed front bumper (Less than 2 month ago)
New Center link steering bushings (Less than 2 month ago)
New Center support bearing and drive shaft bushing (Less than 2 month ago)
New Front Shocks (Less than 2 month ago)
Interstate All Season Battery CA 845
Shaved door handles, (now has solenoid system for doors and door poppers),
Remote key opener for left and right door.
Hidden door opener in the fender well 
Push Button Start

One piece front door windows (NOTE the Went window is removed)

Less than 100,000 original miles.
Headliner and carpet original never replaced
Headlights and taillights work
Interior light on-off switch under dash
Rear Roof Panels has rainbow vinyl sticker (that can easily be removed if not found to liking)
Wiper does not work, a fuse? I never looked into it since I have never driven it in rain
Air bag pumps on-off switch under dash (ie so you do not run pumps when you try to start the car and drain the battery)

Engine runs very strong, I would say it has been rebuild at some point and I guess they put a more wild cam in the engine.
But I do not have any paper to prove it and previous owner did not know much about the history of the car.
I have owned many Mid 60ies Buick Rivieras and this one is by far the most powerful I have ever driven
.....

Car has two switches for the Air Ride, one for front and one for the rear with one air gauges with two air needles in it.

Door windows switches are on the door panel, the one that was for the went windows (Main window switches do not work)

Doors open with key remote (left/right) or when windows down I reach in and there is two door handles inside on each door.

Not sure the windshields wiper works, has never driven the car in the rain.

Car had some bubbles in the paint when I got it ie around the fender wells and rear windows, (which is very common on this Buick Rivieras) I have done my best to fix it for now and I grinned away the rust and put new filler and primer for now until next repaint

Original Trim code on the firewall read as following

227 bullet holes didn’t stop this 1932 Ford 5-Window

 

In 2002, my friend Alex McGillervery and I heard about this coupe for sale. We drove to Phoenix to meet with the seller and arrived at what could be described as the ultimate hot-rod house. The guy had been building hot rods his entire life. Facing old age and realizing he would never get to build all of them, he had started to liquidate his stash of projects.

After looking at the coupe body, we were told that another coupe body would be for sale, as well. We each made separate deals for our prospective bodies and parts, then loaded the trailer to head back to Tucson.

Alex and I started with my coupe since it was the cheaper one and in worse shape. It had 227 bullet holes in it, and that became the car’s name. After cutting the body apart, we began with the floor and worked our way up, re-chopping the car 3 inches from stock, using pieces from another 5-window and filling in the roof with a Walden Speed Shop insert.

Once the body was squared and chopped correctly, it was on me to finish the car to my liking. Seventeen years later, and with countless trips around the Southwest for various parts, the car was ready for final paint and bodywork.

It still rides on the original 1932 frame, and up front is a Model A crossmember, the original heavy axle dropped 4 inches, ’32 split wishbones, and ’40 Lincoln brakes with ’40 Ford hubs and spindles. Power comes from a Chevy 350, which I disguised visually as a 283. It runs to a Ford 9-inch rear end with Dutchman axles, ’36 Ford split wishbones, and a 1940 Ford rear spring. Meanwhile, the dash is half-1955 Sunbeam roadster and half-1955 Volkswagen Bug, with a steering wheel out of a 1955 Buick.

It took awhile, but my ’32 is all steel and all mine.

34 Ford Five-Window Hot Rod

Here we have a genuine 1934 Ford 5 window coupe.  Not an aftermarket replica titled as a 1934 Ford.  This is the real deal.  It was going to be my retirement project but life is going in a different direction.  I purchased this car several years ago from the son of the man who built it back in the early sixties and kept it in his possession until the mid eighties when he passed away.  It sat in the son's garage and has not been operated since then.  The front brakes were locked up and I removed the shoes so it would roll.  I also had to unbolt the column drop from the dash to turn the steering wheel as I don't have a key.  I do not know the condition of the engine and have made no attempt to turn it over.  Could be froze up after all of these years.  From my reasearch and what the seller told me, I believe it to be a 265 ci. out of a 1955 Corvette as it does not have an oil filter.  I do not see any evidence of rust or patch panels anywhere.  It does have some damage on the front fenders and a few little dings here and there but overall appears to be a very solid original body and sheet metal.  The glass is in very good condition for it's age with none broken or cracked.  All of the other period hot rod stuff speaks for itself.  From the Cadillac-La Salle transmission to the crank driven Stuart Warner tach and everything in between, this car is a true survivior.  I have a clean/clear California title in my name and my signature alone will release all interest in the vehicle and make it yours.  You will receive exactly what is in the photos.  Nothing more and nothing less.
