1965 Retro Riviera

[tyoneal]

To all:

Are the 1st gen Riviera's becoming more sought after, or have they always been a popular car to fix up or restore?

I have a '65 Riviera I inherited from my Grandfather who bought it new. Other than some small body work and paint issues, it is in excellent stock shape.

I think I could have a great original Riviera to show because everything is there including all paperwork, ordering forms, price sheets (window sticker) garage manuals etc. Would doing a frame off restoration be something that would make reasonable financial sense, or would it be a nice looking car that would only be worth it to me?

Sorry about the tangent, but I thought I would at least ask and get some good advice.

thanks,
