Seen this one in the Riview...the guy went all-off and re-did everything...nice job, but a major franken-Riv on cialis...
I kinda likee . subdued paint , decent sized and decent looking rims , the wings look well done . and ----- DIFFERENT . it's not like its got 22's and bright green and pink flames . good motor ( no not a 6.0 LS ) and about 500-600 lbs less weight and we got us a roller !
I think the owner is on the board. Think his name is John. He is racing the car, that's why he built it like that, and its not dragracing. I think the front end is built in Carbon, and he has done the work himself.
If it is functional and used as designed, that's a different story. I take back my slight at the wing and front end if he's using it for racing. It would look amazing as a street car without them, too.
That is cool. And I bet a whole lot harder than building a mustang or a camaro for autocross type racing.
I'd bet it's one of those weird cars that you see in a static display and just aren't sure what to think, but then you see it in motion on an auto-x track or something and it just clicks. If a mod is a little outlandish but function over form, I'm good with it. I think it's a pretty cool ride with some slick workmanship and creativity regardless of varying tastes.
That is cool to see someone trailblaze. I have actually considered this for my Riv. I can only imagine how the suspension had to be modded to get it to feel tight. The rear is so awkward with that trackbar. Nothing like hitting a dip and the rear doing a slight wag.
i always prefered the '63-'65 gen riv's and the boattails sorta . the late 60's + just never hit me right . but this is interesting .
Heres a link to his FB page. There is not much left on this car that has not been modified. I think its very cool https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004206585941
He moved the engine back 12”, custom front a-arms. And there is video of it auto crossing, it’s something I plan on doing with mine, Got to talk to John the owner, that car is bad ass!!!!!! Fiberglass front bumper, Lot of Custom work!
1. courage to do it to a Buick 2. amazing customisation and skills 3. stunning looking car that goes as good as it looks what's not to like....
