Looks like Ricky's Shitmobile, before he lost the passenger door while stealing Christmas trees! 

[FoMoJo]

Yes, but will it cut grass?

I love hotrods, but who hotrods a garden tractor?

They seriously just raised the price to $13,999.  Fuck dealers.

Pretty cheap but missing a bunch of seats.

Most tubing outfits I've seen put the people in the bus and the tubes in a big trailer.

I don't need more than a couple of seats, anyway.

My wife wants to convert a schoolbus to an RV but they're bad on gas....

They also ride like shit, but they cheep and sturdy.

[CaminoRacer]

When I was in college, my apartment building had a civil war over a school bus parked in the street out front. Some guys in a college house across the street had bought it and were converting it into a van-life camper. I thought it was pretty cool, but I also had a parking pass for the small parking garage under our building. All the street parkers hated it, since it took up 3-4 spaces on the street.

RVs in general are bad on gas.

Look at this. Locate in Oregon. And it has the very rare front disc brake option. It'd be perfect with the floor shifter + bucket seats and metal roof, but alas, in all the Rivieras I've looked at, I've never seen that combo of options. By 1969 the GS option didn't mean much, and many times, they're fakes (and even sometimes a "disc brakes" moniker brake pedal is installed without the disc brake option). Price is actually quite fair if it's a true GS:

[FoMoJo]

Looks really good.  Make a low-ball offer.

[CaminoRacer]

The price is better than I initially thought. I was gonna suggest $25k but the condition looks somewhere in between Excellent and Good (pictures make it look Excellent, but I won't give it that without seeing it in person to verify).

[GoCougs]

I've been stalking the Riviera market for quite some time. Yes, provided the resto is as good in person as it is pictures (esp. no rust or scale on the underside), there's no weirdness like a rebuilder title, and it is truly a GS w/disc brakes, it's a very good price. With two long term owners I'd bet/guess there's just as much interest in seeing it go to a good home as there is in getting maximum $$$.

This has me thinking hard but alas I'm not quite there yet. Too many other interests ATM taking up my energies.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I agree with metal roofs. Many nice Buicks are tainted with landau tops.

[GoCougs]

The '66s and '67s seem to be much more likely to come without the vinyl roof (they're also magnets for rust). I also prefer the '66 and '67 front end with the outer vertical canards. Interesting tidbit - the '66 and '67 had legit launch control - a throttle-actuated switch (also used for the kickdown, usually set at about 75% throttle) tripped a solenoid in the transmission that used a simple hydraulic circuit to change the pitch of the torque converter vanes. Added 600-800 more RPM to yer launch and passing. Ever increasing engine size and power + spread bore 4bbl carbs nullified the advantage and it was discontinued after '67. They're popular to this day with modders.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Make the engine big enough, and you don't even need a transmission:

[FoMoJo]

Dynaflow.

The color is perfect

Nothing better to do with an automatic

[AutobahnSHO]

If I had an extra $15k I'd actually go find an auto NC with power hardtop.

Then maybe my wife would drive it, and hopefully it would be a tiny bit quieter when you "have to" use a roof...

I can't even remember the last time I'd seen a first generation Ford Probe.  Or a second generation Probe, come to think of it.

With the benefit on 20/20 hindsight, I think the Probe was underappreciated in it's own time.  Reflecting on today's lack of affordable sporty coupes compared to 30 years ago brings into sharp focus just what it is we are missing in this moment.  Where is the successor to the Probe or all the other sporty coupes that were available to us in decades past?  Have we really all given up on sharp handling, performance, and driving pleasure?

The "Truckification" of the US car market is one of the saddest long-term transformations I have seen in my lifetime.

I only wish this particular Probe wasn't rougher than a badger's ass!

I currently drive a Ford Probe near equivalent (base model Hyundai Veloster). It's underpowered but with a stick shift it doesn't feel that slow and I love it. Sporty looking, good handling at road legal speeds, low to the ground, and hatchback big cargo area with the rear seats folded down.

The only way I see for these to become popular again is if the govt would put really high taxes on gas causing people to forego their SUVs. That's not going to happen in the U.S.

The Probe was really a Mazda, except the 3.0 V6 one had an American engine. They were actually decent cars. I couldn't afford to drive my pickup to work...12 MPG.
