1965 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT Serial number: 920689 A classic muscle car French registration 20 000 / 25 000€ With a 50-year history, the Buick Riviera began its career in 1949. Originally, the name "Riviera" referred to Buick models without center pillars and featuring 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 its powertrain with its larger siblings. In 1965, a sportier version of the Riviera was launched: the Gran Sport. This muscular version was a response to the Ford Thunderbird, which the Americans were already snapping up. Five engines were available, including a 3.8L V6 and four V8s with displacements ranging from 5.7L to 7.5L. The car we're presenting is one of these Gran Sport models, just released in March 1965. It features the 360 hp 7.0L V8, mated to an automatic gearbox. The car is luxurious, with large seats, three meters and a center console with radio and air-conditioning/heating controls. Its steel-cut body still offers 5 comfortable seats. While its 5-meter length and 4-meter width make it impressive, this car is easy to move around. Its engine is available over a wide rev range. Having belonged to the same collector for the past 23 years, this Buick Riviera G.S is in fine overall condition. Under the hood, the 7.0L starts up smoothly and runs smoothly. The 2 4-barrel carburetors work well. The stainless steel exhaust is new, as are the front disc brakes. The 40 kilometers we recently covered proved just how much this car has under the pedal. 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. 1965 BUICK RIVIERA GRAN SPORT Serial number: 920689 A classic muscle car French registration 20 000 / 25 000€ 50 years old, the Buick Riviera began its career in 1949.
