For Sale: 1965 Buick Riviera in Orlando, Florida

New arrival. A very original California car with an interesting history and excellent documentation. Loaded with options. Sold new in Burbank California and remained in Southern California until 2018. It retains its original matching number dual quad 425 cubic inch V8 engine. The desirable "ride and handling package" is among the 21 options documented by a copy of the original window sticker. A copy of a cancelled check dating 1965 indicates the seller as race car builder Max Balchowksy - famous for his "Old Yeller" Buick Nailhead powered race cars that beat some of the finest sportscars from Europe. On a side note, Max Balchowsky did the prep work on the 2 Mustangs used in the film Bullitt, he was also best man at Steve McQueens wedding. Don McKinney purchased the Buick in 1965 from Balchowsky. In 1967 McKinney had a power sunroof installed by American Sunroof Corporation (that's about the time ASC began installing power sunroofs for major manufacturers as a factory option). It's not clear when the Buick traded hands to its third owner - noted automotive historian Ron Kellogg - but it remained in Kellogg's collection until 2013 marking 3 owners over 48 years. It's had one repaint in its original color. The interior and trunk compartment are original. The odometer indicates 15,000 miles (title states "odometer exempt"). Overall an exceptional unrestored '65 Gran Sport. $145,000 obo. For details call Dave Murray at (407) 592-5039. All cars shown by appointment. Detailed photos coming soon. Thanks for looking.
