By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.
Exterior and Interior
The 1965 Buick Riviera marked a styling update with hidden headlamps integrated into clamshell covers, a detail that remains one of its most celebrated features. On this car, the body has been refinished in orange, giving the already dramatic lines even greater impact. Aftermarket wheels add a touch of modern flair to the car’s profile, while chrome accents, trim, and bodywork retain the Riviera’s unmistakable mid-’60s elegance. Inside, the cabin is finished in black, offering a driver-focused yet comfortable environment with Buick’s trademark blend of style and practicality. The interior maintains its period-correct presentation, creating a fitting contrast to the exterior’s updated finish.
Engine
Under the hood lies Buick’s iconic 401ci “Nailhead” V8, fed by a 4-barrel carburetor. This particular example benefits from a replaced carburetor and a recently installed battery, ensuring both reliability and continued usability. The engine is mated to the ST-400 3-speed automatic, delivering torque smoothly to the rear wheels and making the Riviera as comfortable on long cruises as it is around town. With rear-wheel drive and Buick’s suspension tuning of the era, the car blends power with refinement, a hallmark of the Riviera nameplate.
The 1984 Buick Riviera Coupe comes from an era when personal luxury cars were all about presence, comfort, and a sense of occasion, and this example delivers that character in a particularly period-correct package. Showing 41,329 miles, it is finished in Light Sand Gray over a Burgundy velour interior and powered by a 307ci V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The padded Burgundy vinyl roof, burl woodgrain trim, split front bench seat, column-mounted shifter, and Riviera hood ornament give it the unmistakable look and feel of an upscale 1980s Buick, while air conditioning, power accessories, and the Concert Sound audio system add the comfort expected from the nameplate. It is the kind of Riviera that appeals less through outright performance and more through its relaxed cruising character, distinctive styling, and richly finished cabin.
The 1963 Buick Riviera marked the debut of one of Buick’s most distinctive designs, bringing a clean, pillarless personal-luxury coupe shape penned under GM styling chief Bill Mitchell and a body shell not shared with other GM models. Showing 78,406 miles, this first-year Riviera is finished in Bamboo Cream over a Saddle vinyl interior and is powered by Buick’s 401ci Nailhead V8. The car has been personalized with 15-inch chrome Riviera GS Rally wheels, aftermarket mufflers, and a custom paint job, while its cabin retains hallmark period details such as front bucket seats, a full-length center console, factory Sonomatic radio, and model-year-1963-only HVAC controls. According to the current owner, the car was originally finished in Arctic White.
For many enthusiasts, the 1967 Buick Riviera represents the pinnacle of Buick's personal luxury era. Widely regarded as one of Bill Mitchell's finest designs, the second-generation Riviera combined razor-sharp styling with effortless V8 performance, creating a grand touring coupe that could comfortably compete with the Ford Thunderbird while maintaining a character all its own. Beneath its sculpted sheet metal lies Buick's legendary 430ci Nailhead successor, an engine celebrated for its immense torque delivery and smooth highway manners. Showing 19,594 miles, this Riviera is finished in elegant Goldmist Metallic over a Black interior with a Black vinyl roof, presenting a timeless combination on one of GM's most iconic personal luxury cars.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. Its 364ci Nailhead V8 was overhauled, the Dynaflow automatic was rebuilt, and the car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
The 1972 Buick Gran Sport is a great example of why Buick’s muscle cars have always had their own following. Where some competitors leaned almost entirely into aggression, the GS mixed real V8 performance with a more polished, upscale feel, and this 60,979-mile example captures that balance nicely. Finished in Burnished Copper with a Black vinyl roof over a Black interior, it pairs a 350ci V8 and 4-barrel carburetor with a TH350 3-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. The equipment list is especially appealing for an enthusiast cruiser, with power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, a full-length console, Rallye steering wheel, tinted glass, chrome-plated wheels, and period stereo equipment all part of the package. It has the visual presence of a proper early-1970s muscle car, but with the comfort and restraint that made Buick’s Gran Sport line feel a little more grown-up than the average stoplight bruiser.

This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.

This 1971 Dodge Charger Restomod Super Bee Tribute brings together the aggressive third-generation Charger shape, period-inspired Super Bee styling, and a thoroughly updated big-block drivetrain. Showing approximately 62,213 miles, it is finished in Vitamin C Orange with a Black vinyl roof and Black interior, while the current owner reports that the car underwent a rotisserie build. The centerpiece is a 440ci V8 fitted with FiTech electronic fuel injection and a Mancini Racing Six Pack intake, backed by a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic and an 8¾-inch Sure Grip rear end with 3.55 gears. Add in the N96 Air Grabber system, AMD bulge hood, Rallye instrumentation, Slap Stik shifter, and Super Bee graphics, and this tribute captures the visual attitude of Mopar’s muscle-car era with a more usable modernized fuel system.
