Legendary 1965 Buick Riviera with numbers matching V8 engine

1965 Buick Riviera 2 door coupe Description

The '65Buick Riviera is one of the most iconic American cars of all time with the legendary hidden clamshell headlights (exclusive to the '65 model) and incredibly elegant design that even car design legends like Sergio Pininfarina were blown away. Despite its popularity you rarely find a Riviera in such a great shape.More than 1000 hours wentinto detailing it to perfection with no expense spared and the result speaks for itself.People love this car and you will get lots of attention and respect.

A very solid Nevada/California car provided a rust free platform to transform it into this valuable collectors car. The numbers matching Wildcat 445 Nailhead engine (401cid/6.6l) runs great and sounds amazing due to the Thrush Mufflers and not straight tubes (see video below). The interior is a work of art with custom leather seats and real-wood Ebony Macassar elements that look just incredible. That is the same wood and quality grade that you can find in $100k Steinway pianos.

The complete heating, ventilation and the factory A/C system have been rebuilt from ground up and work perfectly. This alone was a 100+ hour job which also included the installation of a new firewall and top notch Dynamat Xtreme sound dampening mats. For a comfortable ride a height-adjustable VIAIR air ride suspension has been installed with control unit under the dash and compressor in the trunk. The custom turquoise paint is a real head-turner with an elegant light pin striping along the sides, on the hood and trunk as well as custom "Creme De Menthe onthe Riviera" paint job on each rear fender.

Fresh oil change and a complete inspection have been recently done (Sept. 2016) with no issues found. So there is nothing that needs to be taken care of anytime soon.
