My Collection

My Riv collection. The 68,69 and 70 were camara shy today The 65 through 75 are all GS's

Red car is a 84 Turbo convert-1of 47, white is an 85-1 of 49

You own all of these cars? How many total? Is there a Riviera that you are still looking for and don't already have?!!

Way too cool man! You've got some rare ones on your hand! Very very very awesome....

Reminds me of the collections my dad and I have only mine is the only Riviera .

Oh and by the way, you're welcome to let me borrow any of them any day .

Take care of those cars!!

Fantastic collection of Rivieras!! I hope you're a Riviera Owners Assoc member and would show them off at the 2010 international meet. I met one guy and his son at the 2007 meet in Asheville who had 11 in a barn in Arkansas..all running and all registered.

Respect...
must have taken alot of time and fortune to get them all...
just take care of them.

Holding at 17 Riv's now, if you look in the back ground you can see the 67 Toronado, 55 Chevy pick up and 71 Cadillac fleetwood 75. I'm kind of looking for another 65 GS big letter car and a 84 T-type to complete the Fuel injected turbo years

Ship, yes I belong to ROA and I was at Ashville with a friend and her Astro blue/white 72. She and I did the advance work for Galena in 08. I am planning to head to PA next year and Danvers for BCA in '11-See you there!

Absolutely stunning collection!

Do you have a favorite?

Thanks for sharing.

Only in Minnesnowta

very nice. I like the turbo convertibles. Someone local is selling an 84 turbo convertible but I can't afford it
I thought they only built 11 84 turbo convertibles.

Kevin...I guess you are an ROA member!...long standing/well respected in fact with such a low member # (my appologies for not realizing this). I remember the blue/white boat tail riv while at Ashville and I attended Galena (took 3rd at Ashville and 4th at Galena in the 86-99 class). My wife and I will be attending 2010 ROA meet in PA. And, because its our own BCA Minuteman chapter that's hoasting the 2011 BCA meet in Danvers, MA, we'll not only be showing our riv's but also working the event.

Kevin...just another thought. Its amazing how many folks who own rivieras also own toronados and/or cadillacs (or are in the hunt for them) being sister cars and all for many years. Beside the two rivs, my wife and I also own two eldorados and are currently looking at an 85 eldo w/ stainless steel roof.

The ROA website did list 8, then 11 and now 47 cars. www.rivieraconvertible.com registry lists 47 also.

Bert, The 72 is my baby. triple black, buckets/console,sunroof and loaded to the hilt. It is mostly original except for some touch ups and a repainted hood ( alternator came apart and the cooling vanes shot through the hood )

That is a beautiful collection sir. and being from Vegas i must ask you to participate in a coin toss for the 85 Turbo. Rivgs, are you ready? here goes....."Flip".....................

The Riviera and Toronado defined personal luxury in the 60's so both would appeal to us. My dad bought a 70 Toro for me to go off to college with in 1973. Later I bought a 66 to haul my Hobie Cat with. They were great cars before the 70s. The acceleration in my Rivs reminds me of the 455 in the 70 Toro. However I like the MPG, and stereo in my 99 Riv better.
