Buick Riviera 465 wildcat (1965)
for sale

Price: US $3,050.00

Description:

Up for sale is my 1965 Riviera. The car comes well optioned. It is equipped with power brakes, power steering, power windows, power antenna, 4 way power seat, deluxe interior w/tilt steering and A/C just to name a few. It has the trunk release in the glove box and the rear seat speaker too. Clam shell headlights work perfectly too!
The car has a very RARE engine option. The rarest actually. It is the same engine as the Grand Sport only it has 1 four barrel not 2. EXACTLY the same otherwise. The car has it's Original 425 (born with) nail head motor with 340 hp. Trust me 1-- 4 barrel is plenty!
They only made 2, 311 Riviera's with this option compared to 3, 808 Grand Sports. Its got plenty of power and sounds incredible! The sound is amazing! Car drives like a dream.
This car is one of the best driving cars I have ever owned. It starts on half a turn of the key and purrs/growls. It does not leak 1 drop of ANYTHING! Tons of power! Underside is dry as a bone and completely rust free. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. Of course I would lose my shirt on gas as it guzzles the stuff. Can't even imagine it having 2-- 4 barrels!!
Mechanically as I said car is amazing and everything works as it should. Drives straight and true at 70mph no problem. Really nice ride. No rattles. Solid car. Brakes are amazing considering they are drum all around. You would think they are disc the way the car stops. One of the best things about this car is the sound though. Its got such a nice low deep rumble.
Glass is amazing, stainless and chrome are all very good to excellent. Interior is in very nice shape with no rips or tears. 1 seam on the driver seat is starting to separate but that's it. Overall really nice. Headliner is very good also. Driver power seat works intermittently. Car needs a new carpet installed. I have the new carpet as well as the jute sound deadener. New Carpet goes with the car. I also have a new rear deck lid that also goes with the car and a lot of extras like all new weather stripping and Brand new custom floor mats.
Interior could use some refreshing on the wood inserts and at some point someone replaced the clock with a tach (which works). I have the orig clock. Steering wheel is excellent. Dash and console show well also.
Paint is really nice overall. It has had a repaint but do not know when or who did it. It has some blemishes here and there but nothing that stands out. Tiny stuff. You have to get up close and personal to really see. Not very noticeable. I would say paint is a solid 7 out of 10. No rust bubbles. Panel fit is great on the car. Its a really really nice driver. Solid # 2 car all day long.
Overall its a great car that does not need anything. Really nice original unmolested car with low orig miles (my opinion). 100% turn key car. I believe the mileage is original by the way the car feels and drives. It's very hard to replicate. Just feels right. Having said that I cannot verify with this with documentation unfortunately. It's just my opinion. Come take a look for yourself.
If you want to take it to the next level I would say it wouldn't take much. Personally I would leave as is and enjoy it. It's a really cool car.
I'm sure I left some stuff out so if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Call , email or text.
