Lot #983 - This custom 1963 Buick Riviera received a complete show-quality restoration and custom build with attention to detail throughout. Hundreds of hours were put into this no-expense-spared build. This Riviera is powered by its original, rebuilt 401ci Wildcat Nailhead V8 engine factory-rated at 325hp and 445 ft/lbs of torque. The engine is equipped with an upgraded performance cam, chrome valve covers and polished exhaust manifolds, and is backed by the original Dynoflow 2-speed automatic transmission and original rear end. It sits on the original frame with upgraded RideTech air-ride suspension at all four corners using a 5-gallon air tank with a compressor hidden in the trunk. This Riviera rides on custom polished Boyd aluminum wheels with low-profile high-performance tires, 18-inch front and 20-inch rear. The paint was professionally sprayed over a straight body in two-tone dark and light silver blue, with an orange pinstripe separating the two colors. The dark blue interior has orange stitching that matches the exterior pinstripe. It has electric windows and a seat, factory air conditioning converted to R134, a vintage Stewart-Warner tachometer and a Bluetooth stereo system. Other features include power steering, power brakes and door poppers. It also has shaved emblems and door handles, as well as tinted glass. The custom rear-exit exhaust also has electric cutouts redirecting to side rocker exits. Featured article in National Riviera Association magazine.
