Mechanical

Under the hood, this Riviera packs the potent 425 cubic inch Nailhead V8, a Buick staple of power and performance in 1964. This engine was rated at 340 horsepower @ 4400 rpm and delivered an impressive 465 lb-ft of torque @ 2800 rpm. The Nailhead V8 earned its name from its small, vertically mounted valves, designed for high torque and smooth power delivery. The 4-barrel carburetor feeds this big block, and the engine bay is beautifully presented, featuring blue painted engine components, a black air cleaner with the Wildcat 465 decal, and factory-style accessories like power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. This engine and drivetrain make for a smooth yet thrilling driving experience, keeping the legacy of this ’60s luxury performance coupe alive.

Stepping inside, you are greeted with plush black leather seating on both the front twin bucket seats and the matching rear seat. The power seat option allows easy adjustment, making the Riviera a comfortable cruiser.

The dash is beautifully designed with a full gauge cluster, offering a sporty yet refined feel. A center console with a floor shifter adds to the car’s luxury performance identity. Additionally, features like the tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and stereo radio contribute to the premium experience that Riviera drivers expect.
