Vehicle Description
The Buick Riviera has a strong footprint on the history of Buick
with its distinctive body style and fighter plane cockpit setup.
Produced from 1963-1999 with over 1.1M put into service for the
driver that appreciated the American vehicle but wanted something
different than a Chevy or Ford. With some small changes in the
first generation of the Riviera, the car stayed true to its
original concept until later in its production run. Many acclaimed
designers of the time heaped praises on the Mitchell design and
even Sergio Pininfarina stated that it was one of the most
beautiful American cars ever built.
What you see here is a stunning example of the first generation
Riviera that was restored less than 8 years ago and is believed to
only have 3 owners since it first delivery out of Hosler Pontiac
Buick in Clarkston Michigan. Built in the Flint, MI factory in 1964
and delivered to the dealer. The car was bought back by the dealer
principal about 10 years ago and kept it in his showroom after he
completed the restoration. A few years ago it was sold to a dealer
in Fort Wayne IN and then sold to our customer. The car was
meticulously restored and brought back to the proper specs and
features when it was new. The cars body has clean lines and an
impressive paint job that was done in the factory Arctic White with
Medium blue leather interior. The proper 425cc engine that is
commonly referred to as the 465 Wildcat is sitting correctly in the
engine bay with new hood insulation, battery and plugs and wires.
This engine produced 340HP with 465lbs of torque! Further recent
upgrades include; new front brakes, rear brakes resurfaced, brake
booster, master cylinder, new radiator, new shocks, and four new
wheel cylinders. The car also rides on the proper 15in wheels with
Buick hubcaps and new white wall Hancook tires. Factory features
include; leather seats, A/C, AM/FM stereo, cruise control, remote
trunk release, power seat, power brakes, power antenna, power
steering and power windows.
The car overall is in very impressive and the market is strong on
this first generation Riviera as the initial production numbers
were kept low to keep the demand high for Buick. Less than 38k were
produced and very few remain on the road in this kind of condition.
Vehicle comes with both keys, factory owner's manual, jack and
spare and new period correct floor mats. Autometer gauges were also
installed recently to give the driver a better idea on engine oil
pressure and temperature.
