Vehicle Detail
Up for grabs is my 1963 Buick Riviera. It is a super clean Arizona rust free beauty. The odometer shows 103,500 and I believe that to be accurate after getting thoroughly acquainted with this car. The floor pans, rocker panels, trunk floor is all original and rock solid. The car was repainted in 2000 and still looks great. It isn't showroom perfect by any means, but still looks great. The car was originally white. The wheels are 17x9 Boyd Coddington Venus billet aluminum. The tires are 255/50/17 Nitto NT555 with 750 miles. It will also come with the original wheels and nearly new 225/75/15 whitewalls and hubcaps that are in excellent condition. If you aren't interested in the custom wheels a will work with you on the price. The car sits on 1" lowering springs with new shocks. The front end has polyurethane bushings in the sway bar and front shocks. That made a huge difference. The numbers matching 401 Nailhead runs like a top. Even the choke works. The waterpump is new and so is the radiator. Also the fan clutch and thermostat are as well. Cant be too careful with the cooling system here in AZ. The freeze plugs were done 10 or so years ago. The AC system is complete and looks like it has never been open. It does however blow warm. I guess it should be retrofitted to r134a. The transmission is a Dynaflow and is works smooth and responsive. The differential has new oil as of last week. The brakes are excellent. They operate smooth and evenly. Shoes are at 75% front and 80% rear. All glass is excellent and free from scratches. All gauges work. The interior is very nice and the headliner is near perfect. The radio is new, but it doesn't work. (Fuse?) Many weatherstrip pieces have been replaced. It will come with a large file of receipts, a body service manual, and a chassis service manual specific to the 1963 Buicks. This car gets tons of attention and is an absolute pleasure to drive. I just returned from a 750 mile road trip to Vegas and it worked perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to jump in and take it back there tomorrow. Feel free to email with any questions.,
