The Pimp Mobile is here: 1965 Buick Riviera first pictures!

Well the riviera finally arrived a week ago, and it was finally nice enough out to pull it out and take some pics. The interior is great, other than the wood trim needs to be replaced (have the kit coming next week)... the rear deck had been repainted because it was damaged, and there was some overspray on the tailpipes (the bumpers were out being re-chromed) but otherwise its great! the engine runs strong with 60k on the clock!

its a beast! boh yah

That's a wicked car! Looks nice and straight in the pictures. That's a good find, especially if the 60k is right! Is it the correct engine in it?

im not sure wtf is up with imagestation... oh well my friend is kind enough to host stuff for me... so its all good

Well the car is all original (yes paint even, other than the trunk lid had to be repainted while the bumpers were being re-chromed... hence the mild overspray on teh tail pipes).... but its pretty damn well in good condition! it has a 401cu.inch V8 (original wildcat engine im told) putting out 325hp and 445ft.lb of torque... the driveshaft and tranny were just rebuilt with a new torque converter. And its just a regular automatic tranny of course. dual exhaust (H pipe).... hmmm i dunno what else

the car is actually half my dads and half mine.
