Vehicle Description
This custom 1963 Buick Riviera received a complete show-quality
restoration and custom build with attention to detail throughout.
Hundreds of hours were put into this no-expense-spared build. This
Riviera is powered by its original, rebuilt 401ci Wildcat Nailhead
V8 engine factory-rated at 325hp and 445 ft/lbs of torque. The
engine is equipped with an upgraded performance cam, chrome valve
covers and polished exhaust manifolds, and is backed by the
original Dynoflow 2-speed automatic transmission and original rear
end. It sits on the original frame with upgraded RideTech air-ride
suspension at all four corners using a 5-gallon air tank with a
compressor hidden in the trunk. This Riviera rides on custom
polished Boyd aluminum wheels with low-profile high-performance
tires, 18-inch front and 20-inch rear. The paint was professionally
sprayed over a straight body in two-tone dark and light silver
blue, with an orange pinstripe separating the two colors. The dark
blue leather interior has orange stitching that matches the
exterior pinstripe. It has electric windows and seats, factory air
conditioning converted to R134, a vintage Stewart-Warner tachometer
and a Bluetooth stereo system with four speakers. Other features
include power steering, power brakes and door poppers. It also has
shaved emblems and door handles, as well as tinted glass. The
custom rear-exit exhaust also has electric cutouts redirecting to
side rocker exits. Featured article in National Riviera Association
