If I could afford it I would buy the entire collection and restore as many as I could. It seems that whoever collected these cars was partial to GM and Chrysler cars with a few Packards thrown in. I must say this collection reflects my tastes completely 👍🏻👍🏻

I'd have to go for the 73 boat tail Riviera, probably the most beautiful car of the 70s. Whoever collected these cars was surely a Buick fan. I'm sorry you didn't get to buy them. It's a shame to see those great cars rotting away collecting dust and animal guano. Here's hoping every one of them is bought by someone who wants to bring them back to life.

My father had a family friend who had a Pontiac Buick agency in New Hope Pennsylvania. My father got all his cars used from him, so our family had a few of these cars. In the mid-60's when I was about 5, I remember my father's 1960 Electra 225 convertible. Black with a red interior. I remember driving in it and "helping" him wash it. My mom had a 1969 Tempest, which was the first car I got to drive. A horrible light green. As a 16-year-old, my friends and I had a blast. The best was my senior year of high school, when I was allowed to drive my dad's 1963 Riviera. Baby blue with a Navy leather interior. If I was late to school, I could drive it. Needless to say, I was late a lot!

When I was around 5 in the late 70s he sold it to a guy who was buying it for his son to drive. The kid ended up wrapping it around a pole or rolling it and destroying it in the process. It was such a cool car. That would be my pick to restore because of the memories I have of driving places with the top down in the days before child seats or wearing seat belts.

'71, '72' and '73 Riveria's are all boat tails. I bought a '73 GS new at the Buick dealer I was working at. It was the end of the model year and the '74's were rolling in. Since I was an employee, I got it for dealer cost but still was pricey and it had been on the showroom for a while because it was so loaded with options.

All through this video and at the very end we can see a circa 1968 Rover 2000TC looking pretty solid. I know we are focused on USA cars here, but the Rover P6 product line was pretty interesting from an engineering standpoint. Many interesting features including de Dion type rear suspension. These car rode and handled very well and were very safe for their time. The car in this video would have an overhead cam inline four with dual SU carbs and most likely a 4-speed manual trans. That engine put out 127 hp from 2000cc and that was pretty good for the early and even late 60's. Also had a very interesting front suspension designed to leave sufficient room for the intended gas turbine engine. Later on, Rover bought the tooling and rights to the BOP Buick 215 cubic inch aluminum V-8 and put it into this chassis. In the USA, this car was sold as the Rover 3500S with three functional hood scoops. It was quite a cruiser. I had '72 Buick Electra 225 and a '71 boat tail Riviera. They were not drag racers (as noted in the video), but I would still argue that they were fast since that 454 four-barrel had infinite torque like a steam engine. It just kept coming forever.

I bet when they were acquired they were eminently restorable or running. Now with animal damage and years of static decay they will be a lot of work to restore. Glad to hear that they are to be sold on soon before its too late.

However 1966 was the last year for the nail head and 1967 was the first year for the 430 engine, 1966 was also the last year that Buick would post the torque on the air cleaner and posted the cubic inch of the engine instead. 465 wildcat was the 425 cu inch, and the wildcat 445 was the 401.
