1953 BUICK

This very nice Super Riviera Resto-Mod is looking for a new home as her owner needs to downsize in the toy department.

This older restoration has been lovingly taken care of. The paint has a brilliant shine. So much so it is hard to get good photos. The interior is very nice, could use some detail cleaning. The wire wheels are perfect as are the Goodyear tires. The numbers matching Nailhead was engine rebuilt with less than 400 miles on it. The build includes new bearings, 30 over pistons, rings, oil pump, performance cam, timing gears / chain, lifters push rods and valves. It was topped it off with a polished Offenhauser intake, dual Edelbrock 500 CFM Enduroshine carbs, Fenton valve covers with matching spark plug covers and a Hillbourn style air cleaner.. A new Powergen 90 Amp.alternator. New Pertronix Ignitor ignition & coil. New wires, belts & hoses. The valley cover was chromed and modified to get rid of the old draft tube and replace with a PVC system. The Dynaflow works as it should except there is a small leak noticeable after several weeks of sitting.

The side glass is all new with re-chromed frames, new rubber and felts. The chrome front and back is very close to show quality. The only thing the car needs to be fully show quality is the upholstery of the trunk compartment. I am happy to show you close up photos of this beauty because there is nothing to hide.

Yep.. there are a few negative items. The speedometer needle broke. ( I use my GPS for a spedo) The clock and radio do not work, nor does the cigar lighter. But the really important things like the glove box light and trunk light work just fine..

It does not have power steering or power brakes.
