Hello. I purchased my 64 Riv in 2014 and the build took about 2 years to complete. Overhauled the car from front to back with a Broward builder his notes below on what was done. The car has appeared on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives with Guy Fieri. I sold Guy my 64 Cadillac Convertible also and he has driven this car while in Miami. Very slick looking car and definitelyturns heads anywhere I go. It is stored in my warehouse or my garage for its entire time with me. Its easy to drive and I have enjoyed the car but have not put hardly any miles on it. Been sitting in my warehouse and now needs a new home. The original color is Black on Black leather and now has graphite grey 3m wrap with white leather interior. Lots up modern upgrades as well. Engine is solid. Have just over 50k in the car and priced to sell. Car is sold as-is.
