    123_1_11.jpeg 123_1_15.jpeg 123_1_11.jpeg 123_1_15.jpeg 123_1_14.jpeg I am unfortunately selling my '64 Riviera. I've decided to pair down my hobbies and focus all my efforts on my true passion; Steamboats and other steam machinery

    I will be selling my wagon once it is complete and running.

    On to the Rivi:

    1964 Rivera original Nevada car, spent the last 10 years in California, garaged.

    Options: Power drivers seat, tilt column, AC, PS, remote driver mirror, power antenna, speed alert, AM/FM radio!

    Color- white, repainted somewhere around 2000. A good 5-footer.

    ZERO RUST in body, frame, floor pans, trunk, etc.

    Interior is all original black in good shape save for driver's seat which was professionally re-done, and new carpet (new carpet in hand but not installed so new owner can inspect floors). The package tray was replaced with a perfect reproduction from Clark's Corvair.

    Aluminum dual-pass radiator with fake battery as overflow tank. Optima battery relocated to trunk.

    Transmission is a Switch Pitch 400 out of a '65 Buick. Needs new front pump seal (leaks after about a week of sitting). Has a shift kit and SP nailhead converter. Converter and kickdown currently activated by toggle switch. Original transmission included with sale (needs rebuild).

    Addco 1-1/4" front swaybar, rear lower control arms boxed, new rear control arm bushings (expensive when i did them!), dual reservoir master brake cylinder, 3.23 Posi rear center section (original 3.07 open sold).

    TA 2-1/2" mandrel-bent exhaust with rear mounted Magnaflow mufflers.

    Ran a best of 14.662 @ 92.78MPH with no tuning.

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    Tom, unfortunately I sold my stock rockers and this has custom length chromoly pushrods since the block was squared and decked so it would be a hassle to go back to stock.

    I love the rockers and I think they were one of the most cost-effective power enhancers I purchased.

    Have you sold out again?
