We went Thursday afternoon and looked this Buick over...amazing condition...much better than I had expected.
I believe it now has a new owner...congrats Doc !!!
And it was great to meet you.

You as well Bill. Thx for the eyes on and opinion.

View attachment 2666907 View attachment 2666908 View attachment 2666909 View attachment 2666910 View attachment 2666911 So I have an opportunity to acquire a '67 Riviera from the original owners (93yo couple). Its been sitting under a shed for 15 yrs. All original with 80K on the odo.

I will need a shop that can help me pick it up, get it running, new vinyl top, and clear coat it. I want to make a patina car that I can drive to work regularly (don't want a new jelly bean - all cars look like jelly beans now).

Any recommendations in Marietta / Woodstock area?

I know the guy that would do best, if you haven't found the right one yet.

A better plan may be to do enough work to get it running and drive it as is. What you spend to restore that may quickly exceed the cost of buying a restored version. Wash it, fix brakes and tires add gas and drive it

I believe that is the plan.

Is Eddies Automotive in sandy springs still in business?
I know the city took their land and building via eminent domain and made em move.
They worried on anything and everything, always had some ancient cars there.
