    hello,
    I need a fender for a 65 Riviera and I wanted to know if a 64 Riviera Fender will fit. if so , are the hoods the same as well?

    please if any one knows, it would be great.:confused:

    Hoods are the same, fenders are not.
    Biggest difference is where the brackets are for the headlight doors to mount in the fender on the '65.

    Thanks N2buick
    this dude was telling me they were the same, I'd of been pissed had he got over on me.
    I see you had a 65 Rivi, that's what I'm working on now. Does anyone make patch panels for these cars? or do I need to take a torch to a parts car?

    Which fender do you need?
    I still have some parts left over from when we did ours.

    N2Buick,
    that would be great, I need a left front fender and light assembly(clam shell's broken) and a fan shroud. other than that I just have some rust that went through the rear quarters,(like a 3 inch section).
    Hey Jeff, let me know if you have these or any other parts for the 65, i'm sure i may need them all eventually since I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
    that would be great.

    I'll dig up some pictures, and e-mail them to you.
    I'll have to see what else I still have.
    Lots of small stuff like radio bezel, shifter, etc.
    I was just down by Atlanta last week.
    Shoot me your email address in a PM so I can send the pics directly to you.
    I'll be in touch.

    Geoff, I looked at my pics.
    The right is better than the left.
    The left one has had some repair work up high.
    The lower section is good and solid though.
    I'm sending some pictures of the left one.
