This 1964 Buick Riviera is powered by a 425ci Nailhead V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission, and it was refinished in black under prior ownership. Equipment includes chrome wire-style wheel covers, drum brakes, quad round headlights, and chrome bumpers, while the cabin is trimmed in saddle vinyl upholstery and features a power-adjustable driver’s seat, rear bucket seats, woodgrain trim, power windows, an AM radio, a heater, and a defroster. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, reportedly after long-term ownership. This Riviera is now offered by the selling dealer with a Pennsylvania title.
The car left the factory finished in Bronze Mist and was repainted in the current shade of black under prior ownership. Exterior equipment includes quad headlights, a stylized “R” hood ornament, a remote-controlled driver-side mirror, faux quarter panel scoops, chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. A detailed walk-around video is provided in the gallery.
The 15″ steel wheels wear wire-style covers and are mounted with Mastercraft white-stripe tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted steering, and braking is handled by power front and rear drums.
The front and rear bucket seats are upholstered in saddle button-tufted vinyl and joined by woodgrain trim on the dashboard, center console, doors, and rear panels. Interior appointments include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, an AM radio, a heater, and a defroster.
The two-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames a 140-mph speedometer, an analog clock, a fuel-level gauge, and warning lights for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 33k miles.
The 425ci Nailhead V8 is equipped with a single four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 340 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission.
