Buick Riviera GS

1965 Buick Riviera Description

With a car this special, it's great to see the original, numbers matching Super Wildcat V8 under the hood. Buick knew that effortless performance was the key to the Riviera's success, so they made sure that there was plenty of torque on tap to move all that sheetmetal with ease. With 425 cubic inches, dual four-barrel carburetors (standard on the upgraded GS), and an advertised 360 horsepower and 465 pounds of torque, it gave this personal luxury car the ability to humble some pretty serious machinery out on the streets. The engine bay is clean and has some nice touches like the finned valve covers and coordinating ribbed air topper. The overall presentation under the hood points to nice investments in keeping this Buick running smoothly. And speaking of smooth operation, the TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and Riviera's legendary supple ride make this the easy choice for weekend cruising day or night.
