Bidding on Cars and Bids stands at $2,964 with four days left. The dealer bought the car earlier in 2026 and has added close to 100 miles.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowClassics on Autotrader places the average 1964 Riviera at $45,860, with listings from $18,900 to $69,000, while ClassicCars.com shows 1964 through 1966 examples starting at $8,995. Classic.com records a 425 Super Wildcat bid to $21,964 on another platform.AdvertisementAdvertisementOriginality and factory air conditioning pull this toward the middle of that range rather than the restored end. Fair value lands at $22,000 to $30,000, with $25,000 the most likely close. The opening bid reflects four days still to run rather than the market.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe title description is the item to settle. A bidder noticed it lists four doors on a car that has two, and the dealer attributed it to a decades-old clerical error. That explanation is plausible, since Florida titles get retyped many times over six decades, though a buyer should confirm the VIN on the title matches the car before sending money.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsPresentation reads honest and original. Disclosed flaws amount to exterior chips and wear on the hood insulation pad, the dealer says he sees no evidence of bodywork or filler while noting that is only his observation, and photographs of the block stamping support the matching-numbers claim.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsSeveral questions remain open. One bidder asked whether the interior and exterior lights, clock, and radio all work, another asked what happened to the flywheel cover and received a reply that the dealer does not know, and a third questioned the exhaust routing and its bends. Tires carry 2022 date codes and only one key comes with the car.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeBuickModelRivieraYear1964Mileage42,900 miles shown on a five-digit odometerEngine425ci Wildcat V8Power340 horsepower and 465 lb-ft at the factory ratingTransmissionThree-speed automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorGranada RedInterior colorBlackCurrent bid$2,964Interested in this Buick Riviera? View the listing here.What makes the first-generation Riviera uniqueBuick got the Riviera to answer the four-seat Thunderbird, and the result outclassed it. Bill Mitchell's team produced a razor-edged pillarless hardtop with no corporate sibling, sold from 1963 through 1965 on its own platform, and period testers rated it among the best-handling American cars of the era.1964 Buick RivieraCars & BidsThe 1964 cars sit in an interesting place. The 425ci Wildcat became standard that year at 340 horsepower, with dual four-barrels optional, while the 1965 gets more attention for its hidden headlights. That leaves the 1964 as the better value, with the same engine, the same shape, and less premium attached.My takeFair value sits at $22,000 to $30,000, with $25,000 the most likely result, and the crux is paperwork rather than metal. A documented matching-numbers 425, factory air conditioning, and a mileage figure the title supports are real strengths at this age. The four-door notation needs clearing up with the state, and the questions on the lights, clock, radio, and missing flywheel cover deserve answers first. Budget for tires and $25,000 is fair.AdvertisementAdvertisementDisclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
