1964 Buck Riviera Custom - Resto-Mod

 

 

BODY - 1965 Riviera front end conversion  (fenders, clamshell headlights, turn signals, custom lower bumper with driving lights and billet grill)

1956 Buick portholes in the fenders, shaved door handles/locks (doors are now controlled from a remote fob with a hidden emergency door button in the car),

Hagen’s Hot Rods rear teardrop tail lights,

exterior trim smoothed, 

custom hood scoop, 

front and rear spoilers

extended rockers for the side exhaust and custom exhaust tips.

Painted SEM’s color horizons Hot Rod Satin Silver (spectacular under lights and in the sun!). All trim/bumpers/grill/headlight doors are satin black. The trim is in excellent shape, as are the bumpers, painting was a "style" choice, not due to physical defect.

 

ENGINE/TRANS - 425 “nailhead” with a turbo 400 trans. Engine and trans are original with 70,000 miles. The engine is basically stock other than a new ELCO 2 x 4 barrel intake and a pair of rebuilt Edelbrock carbs. It has ELCO valve covers, chrome breathers and a billet thermostat housing. Engine has been well maintained and recently had new plug wires, plugs, upgraded coil and the oil/filter changed.

Exhaust is a custom side exit type using Allens chambered mufflers (think 67 big block Corvette!!)

The car has power brakes and power steering.

 

INTERIOR - Front and rear seats are red leather from a 2006 GTO, the fronts are power operated (forward, backward, up ,down, recline and special access for rear seats).

The door panels, rear quarter panels, sail panels, rear deck and rear seat divider are all custom red/grey.

Billet Specialties door and window handles.

Dash is custom built from machine turned aluminum with two 5” Autometer gauges (white with black needle/numbers). 

Billet Specilties 14" steering wheel.

Stereo is a SONY head unit, speakers are all Blaupunkt and the amp is from Sony (trunk mounted).

 

SUSPENSION –  air bags front and rear, I would consider it a basic system, with the tank, pump and solenoids in the trunk and the 4 corner controls via billet buttons in the center console.

Wheels - 20x9.5 rear, 20x8 front Coys custom painted satin centers/ gloss hopes with red pinstripe. New Toyo Proxes tires.

Brakes are the classic finned Buick drums (power). I have a complete InLine Tube brake line kit that I have partially installed ( I did the main one that runs the length of the chassis, which is the real pain in the a$$ to replace!!). The rest will be in the trunk for the lucky winner!

 

General Info -

The car is solid!! Inside the floor boards where sanded and coated with POR 15, then sound/heat deadener laid down before the carpet.

Underside floors where wire brushed and under coated.

Chassis, trunk floor are all rust free and solid

 

Take a look at the pictures, the car sits right, looks mean and sounds awesome! (pictures show the car pancaked...it does go much higher than that :-))

 

A NON – REFUNDABLE deposit of $1000 must be paid within 48 hours of the auction ending.

Payment will need to be cash or wire transfer. Any type of check will need to clear before the car leaves my garage.

If you need the car shipped, I will hold it for 2 weeks once paid in full, after that it gets re-listed with the forfeited deposit.

The car is bought as seen, I have listed a fair and honest description and welcome you to come and check it out first.

I have this car listed on a number of forums, in local, online and in print, advertisements. I am also taking it to local cruise nights and shows, therefore I RESERVE the right to end this auction at ANY TIME.

Buick struggling to keep up with Encore demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Buick is having a hard time keeping up with demand for its all-new Encore mini-CUV, according to a report from Automotive News. The stylish, lifted five-door went on sale in January, but dealers have reported that supplies have dwindled after the initial high demand, taking the proverbial "wind out of the sails."
General Motors admits that it underestimated demand for the diminutive Buick, which is built in Korea and sold as the Opel Mokka in Europe, where it's also seen success. Buick spokesperson Nick Richards told AN, "We increased production, so there have been a lot more landing within the last month."
Buick has done a booming business, though, even with its limited supply of Encores. With over 12,000 units sold in the first half of 2013, the small CUV is on pace to annihilate industry analysts' estimates, which predicted no more than 18,500 units in 2013. We're not entirely surprised. When we first drove the Encore late last year, Autoblog professed that we had no idea how sales would turn out, as the Encore wasn't really entering into an established segment. Even so, wefound a surprising amount to like in the Encore, enough that we "wouldn't bet against it" being a major success.

We want this Buick Regal wagon rumor to be true

Tue, May 31 2016

The car we know in the US as the Buick Regal is sold as a Vauxhall/ Opel Insignia in Europe, where it's offered in four-door sedan, five-door liftback, and wagon body styles. Call it a case of wanting what we can't have, but we like the last two body styles a lot. Based on a report from a Buick/ GMC dealer meeting in Austin, one of them could be coming to the US soon. According to a poster identified as 97GreenRS on the forums at GM Inside News, GM showed dealers the 2018 Buick Enclave, Regal, and Regal GS, as well as the 2018 GMC Terrain, and then confirmed it would offer the Regal wagon here in the US. While that wouldn't normally be all that much to go on, we know Buick has been toying with the idea of a wagon for some time. A Regal-badged wagon was spotted way back in 2011. More recently, we reported on a trademark filing for "Tourx" and "Regal Tourx," which suggest a long roof (Tour) and all-wheel drive (x). If the Regal wagon arrives alongside the base sedan and GS as a 2018 model, we'd expect a debut within the next 15 or so months. That would place it right at the beginning of the 2017 auto show season, which starts next September in Frankfurt, Germany. With that in mind, it seems possible the new Regal would debut first as an Opel Insignia before appearing at a US show like Los Angeles or Detroit, although there's a lot of speculation going on there. We just want to see "Buick" and "wagon" in the same sentence again. Related Video:

Buick Regal GS and troupe of basketball dribblers make great beats

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

The 166 videos posted by YouTube music video maestro Kurt Hugo Schneider have been watched almost half a billion times. When Coke wanted to do something musically inclined and a little different, it called KHS, and the result was the video Little Talks.
Buick appears to be the next blue chip in line, and KHS' melodic celebration of the 259-horsepower Regal GS is called Epic Basketball + Car Beat. In it, a red Regal sits at center court in Venice Beach, California while a cast of ridiculous dribblers make music with and around the sedan.
We'll let the music speak for itself, which it does quite well in the video below.
