Vehicle Description
This 1963 Buick Riviera grabbed your attention because it's a
sharp-looking and well-priced big V8 classic. But as you dig a
little deeper, you'll see a huge investment over every inch of this
car, right down to its supple leather interior. The result is the
hardtop that caught your eye for looks but will also win you over
for its crisp and quality total package.
It's been said that there was over $40,000 spent on restoring this
Buick, and it's not hard to believe that from its stellar first
impression. The Pearl White Metallic paint has the unmistakable
look of a modern application and a professional hand applying it.
The '63 Riviera deserves a solid investment because it this is the
first year for the car, and it really brings out all the amazing
details. Crisply defined lines with pointed ends always made these
large coupes look both elegant and aggressive. Plus, those
mirror-like chrome bumpers love to hug all the distinctive curves
of both the front and the rear. And the addition of the 20-inch
Boss wheels is the ideal upgrade for a coupe that loves to be
premium, sporty, and overall sharp.
Just like the outside, they made all the right interior
investments. For example, the seats have the classic button-top
presentation, but they are now finished in a supple leather that
would make a Lexus jealous. This is a true individual cruiser, and
that's why everyone has bucket seats, including the rear. The
tasteful ivory is not only on the seats, but also the center
console, door panels, dash, and headliner for a fresh and uniform
look. Items like the carpeting and steering wheel are finished in a
tasteful black so that high traffic areas don't show dirt, which
makes this the ideal driver. The investment here was about showing
off the classic luxury of a Riviera, and so you've got a ton of
great factory features. This includes the power driver's seat,
power locks, tilt steering column, and factory AM/FM radio. There's
a smooth action on the power windows from a nice investment during
the restoration, and so that makes it easy to show off the
pillarless hardtop profile without ever leaving the driver's seat.
And the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning means you can enjoy
this look and stay comfortable even on those hot summer nights.
Buick knew that effortless performance was the key to the Riviera's
success, so it's great to have the original 401 cubic-inch V8 still
in the engine bay. They made sure to dress it up correctly so that
everyone can easily see the big red block and the matching red air
topper with Wildcat 445 callout (remember Buick liked to boast
about the motor's massive torque.) The V8 inhales deeply with the
four-barrel carburetor, and exhales with dignified sweet tune out
of the dual exhaust. The overall exceptional presentation of the
engine bay points to nice investments in keeping this Buick running
smoothly. Speaking of smooth operation, this one feels nice on the
road thanks to an investment in the suspension during the
restoration. Even a correct Dynaflow automatic transmission was
recently installed. Add in Power steering and power brakes w/discs
up front, and this Riviera continues its terrific cruiser
attitude.
This is the restored classic that has a terrific shine, big V8
power, and all the luxury you want. So don't let this total package
slip away. Call now!
