My 65 Riviera project
 

Now for a 3000 mile test drive.

Mark does amazing work....but you already know this.

Please do not use your driveway for a burn out video with this one :)

What number does this make that Mark has built for you? 12?

Awesome Riv!

Mark kinda babysat this one while Matt at Sled Alley did all the fab work. Amazing talent.

Absolutely stunning

That's a work of art, nothing less.

----WOW! Speechless. Love this one, Charley!......Bill S

Been following along on Lat-G. Can't wait to see it after SEMA!
Have fun on the road tour!!:3gears:

Started with a nice orig paint car.

........

How long did it take?

I bought it in Nov 2016 and shipped it probably some time after that.

Wow

Engine is actually a custom built 427 with a LS9 blower. Made 700 hp at the wheels on 93 octane.

Damn nice beater.

We actually took a Roadster Shop Full frame and welded the body to it after cutting the orig. floor out. I have 5" ground clearance but the top of the car is I think 47" high.

What shop did the car?

Sled Alley in Detroit.

That is jaw-drop stunning, congrats Charley.

What an amazing build. A real work of art!

I've always loved the '65 Rivieras...a friend has a 65 GS and the syling inside and out was awesome. You've taken it to the next level and I really like how you left the original lines and character intact...absolutely timeless.

Yes those lines are perfection and timeless, and no need for improvement.

That thing's just cool! & '65 Riv's looked custom, stock!

Very nice.
Don't you dare run into your garage door with this one.

Wow.amazing work.Areal piece of art!Always loved those Riviera's.One of GM's stunning designs.Bob

Very Kool.

Certainly a work of art and extremely cool. Love to see it make a pass on your driveway.

Has Leno called for a feature yet? This is right up his alley as of late. Impressive build, Charley. Between building that and simultaneously restoring the big black 421 Pontiac, no one can accuse you of not putting your money where your mouth is😳.

How in the....what did....how....how.....???:hmmm::hmmm::dunno::dunno ::dunno:

All I can say is when I grow up I wanna be the dude that built that incredible, jaw dropping, rolling Rembrandt!!!

Fantastical!!!!:biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Cheers:beers:

Rolling Rembrandt. That’s awesome! Dave, do you mind if I use that term? Lol

Absolutely! My contribution to the hobby is to flood the forums with as many SuperDaveisms as I can! :biggthumpup: And in the case of this beauty, its warranted!

Cheers
Dave

What about Muscle Car Matisse??

Or Pedal Picasso???

Rich

Looks like they made the 5 week deadline since hot August nights!!! Congratulations!! What a car!!!

Got the car together enough for a 2800 mile road test. What a fun car.

Very nice.
Reminds me of the Green Hornets car.

Righteous Riviera!
