This 1954 Buick Special Riviera Restomod graced the pages of Motor
Trend magazine, showcasing its exceptional build quality. The
Ferrari Red paint electrifies the senses, while custom touches like
emblem delete, clear headlights, and Cadillac-style bullet
taillights set it apart. The Buick's aggressive stance comes
courtesy of 18" front and 20" rear Boyd Coddington wheels, wrapped
in 235/50ZR18 front and 285/45ZR20 rear tires.
The tan leather interior is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. 99
Acura bucket seats flank a 2003 Buick Park Avenue console, all
wrapped in leather by Ray Hester. Mike Warwick's expertise shines
through the rewired dashboard, featuring custom aluminum panels and
Classic Instruments gauges. Modern amenities include an Aiwa stereo
and Vintage Air controls. An ididit tilt column, Billet Specialties
wheel, and Juliano's seatbelts round out the cockpit.
The 502 V8 crate engine dominates the engine bay. This 8.2L
powerhouse breathes through a single Holley 4-barrel carburetor. A
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission handles gear changes with
precision. The custom exhaust system, featuring Sanderson headers
and baffled straight pipes, produces an authoritative tone. Wilwood
disc brakes on all four corners provide ample stopping power.
