If you're in the market for a spectacular cruiser that has tons of character and an unbeatable price, this incredible Riviera is the car for you!

After a thorough frame-off restoration this super clean Buick made its home in the temperate and appealing climate of Houston, Texas. However, for a muscle car that's used to being driven and seen, the switch to a life of scarce road time, dry storage and plenty of shelter from the hot southern sun is often difficult. Fortunately this sculpted street bruiser's owner knew exactly what it took to help a rarely viewed gem keep its luster, and the mighty Riviera continued its restoration-fresh existence of gleaming paint and better-than-factory sheetmetal. Today, displaying virtually no imperfections, the car's Bronze Glow fuselage is a collection of arrow straight panels, narrow gaps and excellent fit and functionality.

While the exterior of this slick E-Body does an excellent job of upholding Mitchell's world-class visual aesthetics, the engine compartment is where Buick purists REALLY start to take notice. And for good reason too, because the 425 cubic inch, 360 horsepower Super Wildcat V8 that's bolted between the car's freshly detailed fenders is the kind of powerhouse that makes people either put up or shut up. Turn the key and two correct Carter AFB carburetors mix air from a finned aluminum air cleaner with fuel from a carefully bent fuel line, and shove it into a dealer-installed intake manifold. Fire for that air/fuel mixture is provided by an MSD Blaster II coil which shoots sparks through an MSD Pro-Billet distributor and high performance Taylor plug wires that snake around polished, Buick branded valve covers. And spent gases from that air/fuel mixture are jetted through ceramic coated shorty headers which dump into a great sounding true dual exhaust system.

During its extensive restoration the bottom of this Riviera was equipped with spotless satin black floorpans to perfectly complement its fully refinished frame and top notch driveline. At the front of the car, a factory correct double A-arm suspension utilizes factory power steering to provide great handling. At the back of the car, original equipment trailing arms locate a traditional live axle rear end which provides excellent launches. And at all for corners of the car an adjustable air ride suspension combines with a traditional cruciform frame to provide a modern ride and solid stance. An era-correct version of Buick's Super Turbine 3-speed automatic transmission does an excellent job of managing the 425's massive torque. Braking is provided by Buick's traditional Al-Fin aluminum drums out back, and modern, power assisted discs up front. And the big engine's power transfers to the ground through a pristine set of 18 inch Billet Specialties wheels which spin 225/50 front, and 255/45 rear, Goodyear Eagle F1 radials.

Inside the car you'll find a tastefully customized interior, installed by Kasper Auto Trim, that's both comfortable and appealing. Supple leather seats, which feature power adjustment for the driver, sit on like-new tan carpet that extends up the car's vertical surfaces to cover both its kick panels and lower door panels. Those door panels, which have also been customized with leather surfaces, hang small polished door handles below smaller polished lock stems. At the front of the car a color-keyed dash, which shows no signs of sun damage, hangs a quartz clock and fully rebuilt gauges next to a Custom Autosound head unit and flush-fit switches for power passenger and vent windows. And in the middle of the car a wood trimmed console, standard Riviera fare, stretches past controls for a modern Vintage Air climate system to create a true four place cabin. In front of the driver, a gorgeous wooden steering wheel spins a familiar stylized "R" above a tilt steering column. And behind the passengers, a custom upholstered trunk features matching carpet, full leather panels and a 10 disc Custom Autosound CD changer.

In summary, this 1964 Buick Riviera is a phenomenal car that, from the ground up, likely couldn't be duplicated for twice our asking price. Its killer V8 will cruise effortlessly at will, and its slick body and first class interior are ready to bring home serious trophies.
