An absolute one-of-a-kind, fully restored 1971 Buick Riviera, appearing original stock but with a pro-built Supercharged 455 Buick engine (the only engine size available in 1971/1972 boat-tail Riviera Buicks). An exemplary car was completely restored by 2003, beginning with only 66,000 originial miles. As of April 28, 2014, total miles on the Riviera are 71,774. For the second time during its history, the 455 engine was rebuilt again from a strong 370-hp into a supercharged (ProCharger Products) 455 Buick engine pumping over 540-hp (noted under 5K-rpms on pump gas) with a medium range charger boosting 14-lbs into a 950-cfm special carburetor. The supercharged engine has only 4790-miles on it to date, trouble-free. Numerous engine build photos go with the car, along with a file record of work done, summary information sheet, and various articles about the particular Buick.

The body is completely - over, under and in-between - rust free after a frame off total restoration with exact chassis paint and all new replacement parts. The car runs T-rated rubber around 1971 after-market wheels with painted, matched centers to the base/clear exterior color, carrying also a matched spare tire and wheel. The interior is 98% stock original with some refinements and newer materials. All instrumentation functions correctly and accurately, and all features appear like-new throughout. All freshly replaced tires, seals and weather-stripping. All light-green tinted glass initially replaced new. And all stainless trim either replaced with new or polished new (extra trim goes with the car purchase). The Buick is conservatively lowered 2.5" up front and 2" in the rear with a set of QA1 adjustable shocks to maintain perfect alignment and balance and, of course, the traditional easy Buick ride. All exterior chrome has been re-done to perfection. The car is entirely insulated for inside and outside noise/temperature control. The Buick Riviera needs nothing but a road to run upon....

An impressively strong running Buick Big-Block sports a P-1SC Inter-cooled ProCharger boosting excessive horses when demanded. The engine also runs a belt-driven GZ Motor Sports Vacuum Pump which supports and balances the 14-lb boost of the supercharger into a closed-engine. All supercharger and vacuum pump instruction manuals, sources and resources are included with the car history, along with step-by-step information for reference and maintenance. Also a supply of supercharger oil goes with a sale (only requiring 6-oz of new oil every 7000-miles). A rebuilt 400 Buick trans runs the engine power into Buick 2.93-ratio rear-end with internal hardened Moser axles, a positive-traction differential with four-bar links and one-inch front and rear sway bars. Electronically, HEI distribution and a 105-amp alternator supports an Optima battery, electrical systems and sensors. A new original cross-flow radiator was replaced in 2009 with an updated/closed recovery system.

As an exceptional Buick Riviera collector example in June 2012, it won international First Place recognition, "Best Modified/Custom Buick," by Riviera Owners Association International Meet in Monterey CA. In fact, it has won recognition at every run, exhibition or show attended to date. There is no other '71 Buick Riviera like it on the road. Become the new proud owner. Call or email for more photos and information, should you wish to become a serious owner. Please no "how-did-I-do-it" inquiries....

Thanks for reviewing and considering.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing

Tue, Aug 14 2018

We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
