The 1963 Buick Riviera is the first year production of the much sought after '63, '64, '65 first series. The 1963 Rivieras came equipped with the Buick 401 cubic inch engine and was the last year with the Dynaflow Transmission with the dual range.   It's all stock and all original. Enclosed pictures shows the VIN and matching engine number proof.

The Riviera was purchased in San Francisco on February 24, 1976, and still sports the vintage black California license plates. At 50 years old, the car presently has just over 107,000 miles...that's about 2000 miles per year. The Riviera was repainted in the original tan color upon purchase and is still in very nice condition. Everything is original. The interior is original with very good leather (not vinyl) seats, carpet, headliner and door panels. Even the walnut wood paneling on the door and quarter panels is perfect, perfect original.   The trunk matting and cardboard is original. And the headlamps are the vintage GM Guide T3's. The chrome and stainless exterior trim and all glass are in perfect condition, as well. The Riviera was never used for commuting, but for ROA activities and car shows in the Bay Area and always garaged. No dents, dings, scrapes, and certainly zero rust. There are a couple of small blemishes in the 40 year old Du Pont lacquer paint.

The Riviera is equipped with many highly desirable options. Warning to other traffic is provided with the Four Note Horn option, consisting of the existing two horns behind the grill plus two more trumpet horns mounted on the inner side of the hood.   For tunes the Riviera has the working AM BUICK Transistor Radio option with the Electric Radio Antenna option. For safety, the Riviera is equipped with not one, but two Remote Control Side Mirrors option. The right side remote mirror is very rare. The Riviera has the deluxe interior, which includes upgraded leather power seats,full length door and quarter wood inserts, and door full length armrest with door openers for front and rear seat passengers. Optional Power Windows are included, as well. A rare Cruise Control option works perfectly. And a Vacuum Trunk Opener option is included, as well.

The Riviera is equipped with the standard Factory Power Brakes, Factory Power Steering, Factory 12" Drum Brakes with aluminum front drums that are par to disc brakes, Factory Air Conditioning blows hot air on the floor when set to heat, and ice cold air from the dash vents when set to cold. The engine starts right up, has lots of power, runs fantastic, the transmission operates smoothly and the drum brakes provide quick, sure stops.

All original, unmolested stock 50 year old cars don't come up too often. The 1963 Buick Riviera with the sand exterior and tan leather interior equipped with bucket seats and console floor shift in the distinctive Riviera design is a fine example of desirable car built when the the Riviera was king of the road, providing great power, handling, and prestige in the personal luxury car field.

The Riviera is located in the San Francisco Bay Area, has current registration, and a clear title in my name. A $500 non-refundable down payment is due within 48 hours of auction close.   Balance is due within seven days of auction close.

The Riviera is 50 years old and is sold "as is." There is no warranty. Delivery, shipping, and transportation cost are the responsibility of the buyer. Registration fees, transfer fees. license fees, emission test and fees, safety fees are the responsibility of the buyer.

I have been a member of eBay for over 12 years and over 900 feed backs. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?

Cadillac, Buick and Chevy decisions impacted by worries abroad

European Concerns Drive GM, But Beware Of The French Connection
GM's bid to rationalize Europe will impact the products that will be offered domestically.
It seems that Europe is defining the future of General Motors more so than its home North American market. Having axed Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer, GM has done a fairly good job of repositioning its remaining four divisions, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Cadillac carries the luxury banner. Chevrolet is aimed at the masses with cars and trucks along with a nod to performance thanks to Camaro and Corvette. Buick bridges the premium gap between Chevy and Cadillac, while GMC offers a hardcore work/upscale proposition.

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.
