Run Day - Saturday May 31, 2025
This exceptional 1965 Buick Riviera GS, with only 15,736 actual
miles, is one of the finest unrestored examples remaining. Powered
by a matching-numbers 425ci Super Wildcat V8 engine with factory
dual 4-barrel carburetors and automatic transmission, the car wears
a stunning Seafoam Green exterior with a black interior. Originally
sold at Barnett Buick to the famous Max Balchowsky-owner of
Hollywood Motors and builder of the famed "Old Yeller"
Buick-powered race cars-this Riviera features 21 factory options!
Some of the highlights are: air conditioning, power windows, power
wing windows, tilt steering, power driver's seat, cruise control,
Posi-trac rear end, Ride & Handling pkg, Soft-Ray glass, AM/FM
radio with rear speaker and power antenna and a power sunroof
installed by ASC in 1967. Documented ownership history includes
only three owners over 48 years, with the car remaining in
California until 2018. This rare vehicle, one of only 3,354 Gran
Sports produced, comes with a copy of the original window sticker,
original licence plate frame from Barnett Buick and a photo of
noted automotive historian Ron Kellogg (former owner) with the
vehicle.
