This boattail Riv pays homage to the Silver Arrow lll concept car.
Refinished in a brilliant silver with custom "sweep spears" Silver
Arrow badging and the GS Star Wars air cleaner. It also has a
custom two-piece front bumper. 1 owner for 25 years, he was a
meticulous caretaker of this car. It came to us with everything
working properly, it flew through our inspection with flying
colors! He even custom built a matching pedal and display
table.
EXTERIOR: What a cool looking design, especially the unique
boattail design and check out the rounded 1/4 panels. Then this one
was taken 1 step further with one of a kind custom molded sweep
spears on each side like Bill Mitchell's concept car. They are not
pieces of trim; they are actually molded as part of the body. The
body looks pristine, it's arrow straight with no signs of rust or
damage. The metal flake is laid out evenly and the clear coat is
polished smooth and glossy. The chrome and trim is straight and
shiny. Up front it has custom two-piece bumpers. It has Silver
Arrow emblems around the car. The glass is crystal clear, even the
rear window. The 15 inch chrome Buick mags look great and have a
good set of tires on them.
INTERIOR: Very sporty, very well kept and loaded with features! I
love the unique shifter and console. The upholstery and door panels
look great. The dash area is in excellent shape with no cracks,
cuts, or damage. It still has its factory AM/FM 8-track radio, the
owner's manual is in the glovebox. There is a more modern Riviera
steering wheel mounted to the tilt column. Other features include
power windows, power seat, power locks and power trunk release. The
headliner and carpet are in excellent shape too.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The 455 engine runs smooth. It's all painted up
real nice and on top is the famous Star Wars air cleaner. All the
components are clean and proper. Even the plastic, overflow bottle,
shroud and washer bottle are in excellent shape. Features include
factory air conditioning, power steering and brakes. The triple
horns sound like a train!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has a power release. Under the trunk lid and
jamb are painted slick. Inside still has its original boxed liner
and optional rubber mat. It is complete with jack and spare.
UNDERSIDE: It is rock solid! The floors are smooth as a chalkboard
and painted black. Mechanically it's serviced as needed plus our
shop has inspected it. The front end steering and suspension appear
to be in great shape. It has a correct dual exhaust including the
resonators in the tailpipes. The fuel tank has been replaced. It
has disc brakes in front and drum in back, the e-brake assembly is
hooked up. Looking up at the motor it's clean, the starter looks
new. It has it's original Turbo 400 automatic trans. The drive
shaft has been replaced and it has a 12 bolt rear end.
SERVICE: Each car is inspected and this one flew through the
process with flying colors!
I'm very impressed with the overall condition. Yes, it looks great,
but it also performs and functions great. Unmolested, very well
cared for. He made this already very stylish and unique car even
more stylish and unique. The matching pedal car he created really
tells me he was in love with this car, and he was a meticulous
person. This car will only give you pleasure!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
