An absolute one-of-a-kind. fully restored 1971 Buick Riviera. appearing original stock but with a pro-built Supercharged 455 Buick engine (the only engine size available in 1971/1972 boat-tail  Riviera Buicks). An exemplary car was completely restored by 2003. beginning with only 66. 00 originial miles. As of April 28. 2014. total miles on the Riviera are 71. 74. For the second time during its history. the 455 engine was rebuilt again from a strong 370-hp into a supercharged (ProCharger Products) 455 Buick engine pumping over 540-hp (noted under 5K-rpms on pump gas) with a medium range charger boosting 14-lbs into a 950-cfm special carburetor.

All exterior chrome has been re-done to perfection. The car is entirely insulated for inside and outside noise/temperature control.
