I owned a tan '63 Riviera "back in the day". Could set it on 100 MPH + for all day long with no problem at all (With the very possible problem of highway patrol, which would have DEFINITELY been a big problem. It had an all leather interior interior and was the most luxurious automobile I ever owned. This was a real treat seeing this review of the '63 Riv !

The Super Wildcat 465 (the number equated to torque; the displacement was 425 c.i.) was an optional engine for the '63 (the standard Wildcat 445 was the 401 c.i. engine), so I'm not sure why someone thought the transmission would not pair up with this engine.

The 63 and 4 are almost identical with the exception of badge locations, hood ornament and the 64 and 5 now came with Buicks better performing transmission, but the last year of the first generation Riviera’s (65) was the closest to Mitchell’s original design with the clamshell hideaway headlamps and sleeker body minus the non functioning rear quarter vents, and the tail lights were now incorporated into the bumper, and they offered the GS upgrades…IMHO the best of the three.

It's a 425, 465 is how much torque it has, which has the same amount of torque as the first generation Dodge viper.😊😊

The first-generation Rivieras were actually backward Avanti's!
