1971 Supercharged-455 Buick Riviera on 2040-cars
Pocatello, Idaho, United States
|
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. |

Buick really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
Buick Blackhawk concept headed to auction block again
Tue, Jan 27 2015While the collector car auction market is often criticized for inflating the price of vintage models out of the realm of affordability for many buyers, these sales do give us an opportunity to look back on some of the beautiful, rare designs of the past. Just take a glance at this Buick Blackhawk concept with a shape right out of the '40s or '50s. Despite the heritage styling, it was pieced together from older pieces for Buick to celebrate itself in the early 2000s With styling inspiration from the classic Buick Y-Job concept car, the Blackhawk mixes actual vintage components to create its curvaceous shape. However, the power retractable top is thoroughly modern being made from carbon fiber and stows in the deck lid when the roof needs to go down. After so much work on the outside, the Buick has something equally surprising under the hood. It's a 1970 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 GS Stage III V8 with a claimed 463 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque, and for easy cruising the mill is linked to a four-speed automatic. Built in-house by Buick, the Blackhawk was once part of the General Motors Heritage Fleet, but the automaker sold it off in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, AZ, along with many other members of the collection. The concept went for $522,500 after the buyer's premium, according to the auctioneers. Now, it's crossing the block again with no reserve as part of RM Auctions sale of the Andrews Collection on May 2, 2015, in Fort Worth, TX. The 75-car auction also includes highlights like one of seven 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Cabriolet models bodied by Pininfarina.

Watch 14 hot rides take over concept car lawn at Pebble Beach
Sun, Aug 16 2015The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is an annual celebration of the beautiful, old cars that grace Monterey Car Week. But Monterey – and Pebble – features lots of newer metal, too, and that includes the concept lawn at Pebble Beach. Now, "concept lawn" isn't a totally accurate name anymore, and you'll see why in the list below. This year especially, plenty of production cars can be found in the area once reserved for the conceptual. Still, we're happy to see them. Here's what's featured this year: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Audi R8 BAC Mono Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R Buick Avenir Galpin-Fisker Rocket Speedster Hyundai HCD-16 Vision G Coupe Icona Volcano Infiniti Q60 Lamborghini Asterion LPI 910-4 Maserati Ghibli McLaren 570S Rolls-Royce Wraith By our count, that's seven concepts out of fourteen cars. But it still makes for one hot group of metal. Check 'em out in the gallery above.
