Vehicle Description
Say hello to your favorite new bad boy. After all, it's hard to
find anything meaner than a 1965 Buick Riviera with a custom look
made for pure intimidation. Don't forget that this coupe has a big
V8 to back it all up, too!
This one looks like it's out to inhale all the light in the world
and bring in the darkness. After all, the super slick black paint,
even sicker bright work, and custom flames on the hood and fenders
make this Buick look like it caught the express train out of other
cars' nightmares. More than just this custom work, the 1965 Riviera
was the perfect canvas for this evil masterpiece. Razor-sharp body
lines with pointed ends always made these large coupes look
aggressive. And this was the only year that they concealed the
headlights in the fenders. Add in the custom grille, Porsche-style
tips on the side exhaust, lowered stance, and bright Coys wheels
with an 18/20 inch front/rear aggressive stagger, and this one
looks wicked from every angle.
The full midnight package continues inside. But where the exterior
has a mean-streak, the interior retains all the best comforts of
the Riviera's individual luxury. The button-top pattern on the
leather seats and side panels are a classy design that are
presented just as nicely today as in 1965. Everyone gets an
individual bucket seat. Yes, there's a center console not only for
the front, but the rear passengers get a stylized separation, too.
You even have the option for added comfort with provisions for
factory air conditioning. Just like the exterior, there's plenty of
bright work, and the wood paneling has been replaced with carbon
fiber trim to keep the aggressive attitude of the exterior. You get
the original dual-spoke steering wheel that gives you a commanding
view of brushed stainless round gauge package. The overall
driver-oriented cockpit reminds you this is a fantastic classic for
cruising.
Buick knew that effortless performance was the key to the Riviera's
success, so they made sure that there was plenty of power and
torque to move all that sheet metal with ease. The period-correct
401 cubic-inch V8 look terrific filling the engine bay. After all,
in a coupe as dark as midnight, the big turquoise block instantly
stands out. Plus, the polished valve covers and air topper really
give it some nice flair. The overall exceptional presentation of
the engine bay points to nice investments in keeping this Buick
running smoothly. And speaking of smooth operation, the TH400
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes,
and Riviera's legendary supple ride make this the easy choice for
weekend cruising day or night.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the coupe that looks mean to
everyone but feels luxurious from behind the wheel. That makes it
the classic that really knows how to make an entrance. So if you're
ready to have all eyes on you, call today!
