This is NOT the $30.000- $45.000 Showcar You see on E-Bay and on TV Shows - with around $3/4000 put in You have one....
Body in good and Fair Schape, Outside in very good Schape, some Rust Marks on Chrome Bumpers (Stone Hits) - Glass and Chrome Trims are all in TOP Schape,
ALL OVER a Very very good BASE for a Very Rare and Special Toy - Alternator needs Replaced and some Work on the Floor - nothing too serious - but need to be done...

and that's why my Beaty is Valued for only $14.000 and Not $40.000

(For me it is Not worth to Invest the time and Effort to put Money in as I am moving and will not Ship the Car to Europe)

Car is under Roof (Garage) in Storage, start on first Turn of the Key...last Time out on the Nationals in Moncton 2014 as I have no Time to enjoy my Toy's

THE VERY RARE 1966 Buick Riviera with a Console Shift, Strong 350 engine, is in great Shape and very rare with 74,727 Miles, Black Leather interior with purple Trim - excellent conditon as said Valued $14,000+ as She is very rare and as far as I know the ONLY one on Canada's Roads...
Only Interested in a Trade for an RV or Camper Trailer - or a nice Harley

NO Sea Doos / ATV, Snow Mobiles, Boats, Cars or Trucks

That Riviera is awesome. I'd love one of those, but in black on red leather  ;D

Only one in Canada in purple with flames? Or has he never been outside of NB? It is a long drive to anywhere else in Canada from there, so I would suspect he's not left the province much.  Nice car in a different hue. It's nice that he gives it a hug...at least you know he likes the car.

I have a 1995 Audi RS2 for sale (1 of 2891 world wide)
The RS2 was Audi's first RS model. Built by Porshce. Straight 5 turbo 350hp, AWD drive, rear diff lock, Porsche cup wheels and brakes. If you are reading this you know what it is so no explanation is really needed. Never sold in North America, this is a rare oppertunity!

Love this quote

"With so much power available, the RS2 could accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (62.1 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and achieve a maximum speed of 262 km/h (162.8 mph) (electronically restricted), despite weighing over 1,600 kilograms (3,527 lb). In a road test conducted in 1995, British car magazine Autocar timed the RS2 from 0 to 30 mph (48 km/h) at just 1.5 seconds, which they confirmed was faster than both the McLaren F1 road car, and also Jacques Villeneuve's Formula One car of that time. Even by more modern standards, its performance is exceptional; it could accelerate on-par with the C5 generation Chevrolet Corvette and a 996 generation Porsche 911. The top speed was 166 mph."



127,000km, in overall extremely good shape. No accidents and only the mirrors have been repainted.
Everything works, power seats, on board computer, A/C, power windows locks, power seats, rear diff lock, all gauges ect......
I bought this car last Dec. about 1 month before we found out baby #2 was on the way.
We just bought my wife a new car, and now With having 4 cars i just don't have the funds or time to deal with them all anymore.

What does it need? There is a small oil leak, i've traced it to the oil pressure or oil temp sender (they are right beside each other).
Some pleather on the door panels has peeled back from age. Should be able to heat it up and glue it back in place.

The suede headliner is in tip top shape, all carbon fibre interior pieces are perfect, the carpets are perfect, even the factory floor mats are excellent.
Brakes are all almost new, doesn't need anything replaced mechanically at all.
I just put on 4 brand new Hankook V12 EVO2s 245/40/17s

They sell for 30-32k EURO which is $40-$44,000 Canadian before %13 tax, %6 duty, A/c Tax, soil sample test, shipping to Canada and then shipping to you, brokerage, and then dealing with the DMV. Never mind having to pay this much for car unseen, and trying to get it out of Europe.
Finding one is super rare in North America.
I imported this myself. originally sold new in Germany, then to Tokyo, then on to me.
Had the VIN verified by a friend at audi to make sure it was a real RS2 before i bought it.
The car has two aftermarket add ons. A Blitz boost controller and a set of H&R springs.

My asking price is $43,500 Canadian with clean clear Ontario tittle in my name.

Not a bad price I suppose - the body looks pretty intact.  I wonder if engines/parts/etc are still cheap?

Large variation in quality and price of the mechanical parts. The earlier trim bits are not cheap.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that almost seems reasonable, considering what people want for completely rusted out junk. I'd rather buy one (an old car) that didn't need to be restored. Screw "built, not bought".  ::) I won't live long enough to build one, I'd prefer to enjoy the fruits of someone else's labour. Their loss (of money) is better than mine.  That's a nice car, would look good on my driveway.

That is a very nice car. Needs a 429 swap....but a great base to build on.

That 5.0L and slush box are lumps.  Those big cars need big engines.  I'm not sure how much it is to build a Cobra-Jet with a Toploader and 9", but that is really what that car should have.

Even the new Coyote 5L would be a huge improvement.

The photos on this ad are amazingly bad. What the heck? What is with the James Bond gun barrel effect?
