1963 Buick Riviera Custom Cruiser Coupe Arizona Rust Free Beauty on 2040-cars

US $14,500.00
Year:1963 Mileage:103500
Location:

Chandler, Arizona, United States

Chandler, Arizona, United States

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.,

Buick teases the next-gen LaCrosse

Sat, Oct 31 2015

Buick continues to play coy about the next-generation LaCrosse, but the latest teaser hints at a swoopy profile for the upcoming sedan. While mostly just a silhouette, the teaser does provide a glimpse of the flowing roof and upward crease around the rear fenders – especially handsome touches. The rest of the LaCrosse remains a mystery. The only other part that we've seen is the Avenir-inspired grille, which features a more angular surround and chrome wings jutting from emblem in the center. Styling aside, the brand claims that the sedan is now more engaging behind the wheel thanks to a stronger, lighter chassis and five-link rear suspension. Powertrain rumors are rather vague but suggest the 3.6-liter V6 will be available when the model arrives at dealers in 2016. One thing we know for certain about the LaCrosse is that it debuts at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That only leaves a few more weeks for Buick to keep this mystery going. Related Video:

GM laying off 510 amidst slow Cadillac, small car sales

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

General Motors is laying off about 510 workers from two factories beginning in January, and it could be months before the automaker needs some of that latent capacity to come back on line. A combination of poor sales and high dealer inventories are prompting the cutbacks, according to Automotive News.
The largest changes come at GM's Lansing Grand River plant, where the Cadillac ATS and CTS are made. An entire shift of about 350 workers is being laid off, but the automaker hopes to find positions for some of them at other nearby factories. The decision leaves just a single shift building vehicles there. According to Automotive News, the move is partially spurred by Johan de Nysschen's plan to make Cadillac a more exclusive brand.
The lost shift will likely return for production of the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro at the plant, according to the report, but GM isn't saying when that will be. A previous announcement from the Canadian Auto Workers union indicated that the Oshawa, Ontario, factory would lose the coupe in late 2015 or early 2016.

Reuss says Cadillac CT6-based Buick could happen

Wed, Apr 15 2015

Could the upcoming Cadillac CT6 and its Omega platform spawn a Buick variant? According to General Motors' product chief Mark Reuss, it could potentially be in the cards, but "not yet." "We're working on that," Reuss told Automotive News at the 2015 New York Auto Show. While there hasn't been a large, rear-drive Buick on dealerships since the Roadmaster in 1996, the company gave a big hint that it could head in that direction with the Avenir Concept, shown earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show. As Automotive News explains, a rear-drive Omega-platform Buick could be a real hit in China, where consumers buy 13 Buicks for every one Cadillac. That move would be a big help to GM's bottom line, too, as it'd significantly increase the Omega platform's economy of scale. If a large Buick based on the CT6 were to head to China, though, it likely wouldn't be a simple case of badge engineering (thank God). Reuss hinted to Automotive News that while the mixed-material construction of the CT6 platform "is very flexible," doing an "identical version of that platform or not is a different conversation." What are your thoughts? Should Buick adopt the Omega platform for an Avenir-based sedan? Should that vehicle be sold here in the US, or should it be a China-only offering? Have your say in Comments.
