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 custom touches
made for pure intimidation. But don't forget that this coupe is
also a true cruiser with everything from cold A/C to a big V8 under
the hood.
Black Cherry is a terrific color for this car. It looks like black
at night, but when the sunlight hits it, you get that devilish deep
undertone. So this one has the look of a true mean machine no
matter what time of day you go for a ride. More than just this
upgraded paint, 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. This was the only year
that they concealed the headlights in the fenders. Add in the
custom grille, matte black trim pieces, and bright 20-inch Ridler
wheels, and this one looks wicked from every angle.
The dark horse 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 intricate pattern on the seats and
side panels are a classy design that are presented just as nicely
today as in 1965. Everyone gets an individual bucket seat, and the
rear ones were even recently refinished in leather. There are nice
comfort features, like power windows, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo
w/aux input, and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. There's a
cool center console where the wood paneling has been replaced with
carbon fiber trim to keep a hint of agression. 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 sheetmetal with ease. The 401 cubic-inch V8
is believed to be original, and it looks terrific filling the
engine bay. After all, in a coupe as dark as midnight, the big
turquoise block instantly stands out. It inhales deeply with the
upgraded Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with
authority out of the Cherry Bomb dual exhaust. The overall
exceptional presentation of the engine bay points to nice
investments in keeping this Buick running smoothly. 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.
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!
