I’ve been driving the Riv as-is and she’s fast, smooth, and floats down the road like a true Boattail. Powered by the original 455 4‑barrel with a Holley carb. The dash has zero cracks, which is extremely rare for these cars. The body is in good shape for the year with a few rusted areas noted in the photos. The front driver’s seat needs repair, but the rest of the interior is usable.
