Overview of 1965 Buick Riviera For Sale by Owner

By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.

Exterior and Interior

The 1965 Buick Riviera marked a styling update with hidden headlamps integrated into clamshell covers, a detail that remains one of its most celebrated features. On this car, the body has been refinished in orange, giving the already dramatic lines even greater impact. Aftermarket wheels add a touch of modern flair to the car’s profile, while chrome accents, trim, and bodywork retain the Riviera’s unmistakable mid-’60s elegance. Inside, the cabin is finished in black, offering a driver-focused yet comfortable environment with Buick’s trademark blend of style and practicality. The interior maintains its period-correct presentation, creating a fitting contrast to the exterior’s updated finish.

Engine

Under the hood lies Buick’s iconic 401ci “Nailhead” V8, fed by a 4-barrel carburetor. This particular example benefits from a replaced carburetor and a recently installed battery, ensuring both reliability and continued usability. The engine is mated to the ST-400 3-speed automatic, delivering torque smoothly to the rear wheels and making the Riviera as comfortable on long cruises as it is around town. With rear-wheel drive and Buick’s suspension tuning of the era, the car blends power with refinement, a hallmark of the Riviera nameplate.
