1965 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT
Serial number : 920689
A classic muscle car
French registration
20 000 / 25 000
With 50 years of existence, the Buick Riviera starts its career in 1949. Originally, the name "Riviera" refers to Buick models without center pillars and with hardtop bodywork. In 1963, Riviera became a model in its own right. Although it was smaller than the other models in the range, it still shared the same mechanics as its larger sisters. In 1965, a sportier version of the Riviera was launched: the Gran Sport. This muscular version was a response to the Ford Thunderbird that the Americans were already snatching up. The engines are five with a 3.8L V6 and four V8 with a displacement of 5.7L to 7.5L.
The car we are presenting is one of its Gran Sport models just released in March 1965. It is equipped with a 7.0L V8 of 360 horsepower coupled to an automatic gearbox. The car is luxurious with its large seats, its three meters, its center console with radio and air conditioning/heating controls. Its steel coupe body offers 5 comfortable seats. If its 5 meters long and 4 meters wide make it impressive, this car moves without too much effort. Its engine is available in a wide range of speeds.
In the collection of its owner since 1990, this Buick Riviera G.S is in a nice general condition. Under the hood, the 7.0L starts smoothly and runs smoothly. The 2 4-body carburetors work very well. The stainless steel exhaust is new, as well as the front disc brakes. The 40 kilometers we recently drove proved how much power this car has. This Riviera G.S is the perfect entry ticket into the world of muscle cars. Produced in just over 3,000 units, it is a true rarity on the market.
All the equipment is electric, the gladiator helmet headlights work perfectly, the special workshop manual edited by the manufacturer for these headlights comes with the car as well as the two 1965 Riviera workshop manuals for the rest of the car.
