1964 BUICK RIVIERA, TOTAL RESTORATION, LIGHT CUSTOM
This beautiful 1964 Riviera was a complete rebuild for a local customer here in Phoenix, Arizona. The car has never had one speck of rust ever.
He wanted a clean look up front so the headlights were mounted behind the ribbed chrome at the very front of the fenders, like on 1965 Riviera except it does not open on this car. And the Buick also got a 1965 grille for the clean look.
The Riviera has received a total restoration over many years as the owner could afford to get work done but an unforeseen big change in his life caused him to ask if we could store the car and in the end we bought it from him.
It got an expensive paint job over a rust free body, new interior, all mechanical components were rebuilt, new chrome, new www tires etc.
The Buick was driven around 500 miles when one piston broke and messed up the Nailhead engine.
Right now we are having a 1965 Buick 425 Nailhead getting a full rebuild, ground crank, bored, new pistons and rings, new camshaft, lifters, redone heads etc and as soon as we have that engine back from the machine shop we'll install it, do a little detailing and the car will be ready to sell. It should be done and ready in February-March.
I am advertising the car for less than half of the restoration cost.
I'm retiring and need to sell a few cars I don't really have room for anymore.
We sell out of state and out of the country since 1986, export is never a problem.
