For Sale: 1964 Buick Riviera in Mesa, Arizona

Some cars are born to race down a quarter-mile track, while others were created solely to carve up canyons and autocross events. But some cars are neither of those things because they were born to just cruise. While a 1964 Buick Riviera Super Wildcat might not be the first car you think of when it comes to cool classics, this one might just be the last car you'll ever shop for.

The chill Wedgewood Blue repaint gives this car the calming serenity of the coastal resort destination of its namesake. Kept mostly to its original outward factory form, this Wildcat is capable of purring along the interstate at whatever pace you choose. But, pop the hood and prepare yourself for the snarling beast that resides beneath the hood. The numbers-matching KX option-coded V-8, measuring a massive 425 cubic inches, and is fed by a dual-quad carburetor, making this car just one of 2,122 made with this engine configuration. The "Super" in Super Wildcat denotes the incredible power this particular engine is capable of producing. How does 360 horsepower and locomotive-level 465 pound-feet of torque sound? If you said "super," that's what we were thinking too.

That power is sent through a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and onto a Buick 9.38-inch rear end. Sitting at all four corners is a set of 17-inch US Mags wheels shod in 215/55R-17 tires, while an independent front and three-link rear suspension handle handling duties.

Inside, you're greeted by custom white vinyl seats, both front and rear, that provide a comfortable view of the road for all passengers involved. The stock dashboard is highlighted by the two big gauges front and center of the driver, while the woodgrain and aluminum trim panels keep this car's original appearance and appeal as a reminder that this car was built for luxurious travel to and from just about anywhere. Power steering, power brakes, and even power door locks all complete the package of this Super Wildcat's vintage appeal, allowing it to do exactly what it was made for... cruising in style.
