BODYWORK/TRIM

A rust-free personal luxury coupe that was restored by a dedicated enthusiast over a series of long nights and busy weekends this Buick wears a clean coat of pale yellow 2-stage thats both smooth and fitting. At the front of the car bold stainless grilles hide small parking lamps and bright halogen headlights behind a broad bumper a monochromatic tri-shield emblem and a custom valance. At the top of the car a smoothed cowl founds chrome vents between fresh glass a custom hood and straight stainless trim. At the sides of the car fresh rocker spears combine with fresh wheel moldings to parallel stylish fender louvers traditional door handles and a polished drivers mirror. And at the back of the car a second grille cages LED tail lamps between a custom decklid and a second custom valance.

ENGINE

In the early days of Americas horsepower wars Chevys stalwart 409 was the go-to choice for most racers. There was simply nothing else on the road that could touch its street-ruling horsepower. So it seems pretty natural that the bowtie brands most exclusive big block would be the choice engine for a same era custom like this sculpted Riv. At the top of the vivid mill small air cleaners force oxygen in to polished Edelbrock carburetors which are fed through a series of braided fuel lines. Those proven 4-barrels top a polished Edelbrock intake which wedges a polished water neck and chrome oil filler between color-keyed valve covers and Edelbrock Performer RPM heads. Those heads send spent gases in to coated Edelbrock headers which ride beneath MSD Super Conductor plug wires that are sequenced to an MSD coil and an MSD distributor. Those electronics get charged by polished Billet Specialties Truetrac components which spin a polished Powermaster alternator a polished AC compressor and a fresh Edelbrock water pump behind corrugated hoses a polished AFCO radiator and a large puller fan. And every aspect of the cars custom Charcoal Gray engine compartment from its polished reservoir tanks and Stefs Fabrication oil pan to its polished breather and trick dipsticks is nicely detailed and ready for show.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

When the big block jumps to life it spins torque through a proven Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed which twists what appears to be a Ford 9-inch axle. That proven pumpkin pushes a 4-bar rear-half which along with the cars double a-arm front-clip is wired to Ridetech ShockWave air ride. At the corners of that skeleton a combination of Wilwood and Delco calipers squeeze a combination of vented and drilled and slotted rotors. At the front of those binders power rack-and-pinion steering makes low-speed navigation a cinch. Woven between the cars Flat Black floors and Satin Black frame is 3-inch Mandrel-bent exhaust pipes
