Vehicle Description
This 1965 Buick Riviera GS is rust-free, laser-straight and has
been refinished in its factory colors of 1965 BuFlame Red with a
black deluxe interior. It is powered by its original
matching-numbers LX-code 425ci V8 Super Wildcat engine producing
360hp and 465 ft/lbs of torque, mated to its original BS-coded
automatic transmission with a variable pitch torque converter.
Buick Gran Sports were factory-equipped with dual quad Carter
carburetors, aluminum valve covers and a chrome dual-snorkel air
cleaner. The one-year-only retractable headlights function like
new. This Rivera comes equipped with air conditioning, power
steering, power brakes, power windows, a posi-traction rear
differential and an A9 body. Introduced in 1963, the Riviera was a
luxury car from day one, initiated by legendary stylist Bill
Mitchell. It features covered headlamps, mild trim changes and the
chiseled-edged body, along with factory dual 4-barrel carburetors,
cast aluminum valve covers, a chrome dual snorkel air cleaner,
oversize 2.25-inch dual exhaust and a hydraulic cam. The A9
Handling Package features a short-ratio 15.1 steering option with
heavy duty shocks, slightly lowered factory sport stance and
stiffer bushings for the Panhard bar. It rides on factory deluxe
wheels and is equipped with power trunk release, a Wonder Bar
radio, cruise control, tilt steering, a deluxe interior, bucket
seats, a center console and a four-tone horn accessory mounted to
bottom of the hood.
