I can remember seeing pictures of a roof chopped 63 or 64 Buick Riviera in an early (79) issue of Street Machine... If I remember correctly , it was used in some kind of story board thing, but I may well be wrong. It was Definately Street machine though, my Dad wouldn't but me Custom Car because of the Bare Tit's!! I think it was a Heavy Silver Flake... Ring any bell's? I'd love to know what happened to it, hopefully it didn't come to the same sticky end as Ritchie Kings Chopped F type Victor... Banger raced. Anyway, have a picture of My One!!  |

Thanks Benzboy!! Stiff, the third one down looks like the Villa Riviera Barris Car, but with different wheels... Gotta agree, Boat tails are pretty cool, I'm not familiar with the Change of Heart one though... I did to manage to get a few Issues of CC. back then, but I was only 7 in '79, I think my Dad used to let me have a look through and gauge reaction on Tit's and Cars, Cars must have had more reaction...

I remember the 'Change of Heart' one having a sound to light system in the headlining. Maybe that one was blue and not oranges hues at all? Maybe I'm really confudeled. Maybe I should go to bed. |

Xmas tree lights in pegboard behind a frosted plexiglass panel? "if you don't want to use frosted you could paint moons and stars or some other fancifull design onto clear plastic" was one of the tips from the build article possibly? if not my imagination is going well tonight. lol |

You could well be right about the Villa Riviera as these words were alongside the picture on the article "This 1965 Riviera looks a lot like a Barris Kustom job... This one was spotted at another Kustom Kemps of America meet, back in the 1980's..."  |

It might be. Now I'm getting more confused! lol. I do seem to remember the headling though for some reason but that might have been the blue one. It's making me more determined to dig out the feature on it at the first opportunity!  |

Hmmmmm....me being one of the more ...er... "experienced "...members,I do remember those cars .Dunno if we may be talking about the same car tho'? Wasnt the change of heart one a sort of multi coloured affair,had some sort of butterflies airbrushed onto it? Think the guy who did it was awell known custom painter back in the day.. Also he may have come from bourenmouth,or the pic of the car was taken at a indoor show in Bournemouth? ...HA ! maybe old ,but still got me memory!.......sort of.........!

I am still regretting not buying a tidy/solid 1971 Buick Riviera GS for £2000 a few years ago. I arzed about too long and it sold. Same money would have got me a mid 60s one previously owned by Budgie from Siouxie and The Banshees. Again, I quibbled over it needing a spot of welding and it was sold to a dealer who did nothing too it and put it up at £6999

From some angles it looks ok .Be interesting to see what you find in the mags!..........................While youre looking ,can you see if theres an article on a car called "WARP 8" one time lime green ,later in bronze . It was a vw chassied one off ,built in a garage in East London .Looked loosely like a countach lambo.Windows in lower half of doors!
