Let's see some 63-65 Rivieras...

I just scored me this sweet *** '63 and I'm looking for some inspiration.



Yes. the green wheels and Schwarzenegger lugs are coming off...

Post up some pics!

 

here's a shot of the lugs just incase you didn't get that

 

you just need some astro supremes and pinner whites and you're done! nice score!

 

I already bout the astros and bag kit, I was thinking more along the lines of paint and exhaust...

 

Well, from ten feet she looks pretty good.
Unless you are planning on messing with the cam, the stock exhaust is fine.
Not loud (You can try taking out the resonators)but it's really tuned for the power band of the car.
Take a look at the two miles of tubing under there.
Buick worked pretty hard to get the volume and flow right on these babies.
If the water heater (It's huge)muffler is rusted out, you can play with gl*** pacs or chambered mufflers running transversly behind the axle to keep the volume where it needs to be.
Flowmaster makes a 2 in/ 2 out muffler for Camaros that might do the trick.
I've been toying with these ideas but fortunately...I have spares from a couple of parts cars.

Here's Dad's


And mine sitting patiently waiting.

The twin crosswise gl*** packs sounded like **** on my 64. I replaced them with an aftermarket water heater replacement muffler, then when you hammered it the sound was a staccato like a machine gun. I think the missing resonators were sorely needed.

 

That could be.
I know on my brothers car (Back in the seventies) we replaced the resonators with economy mufflers and went straight to tail pipes from there and that ***** was LOUD.
Not so much to the people standing on the street but you couldn't here yourself think at certain speeds.
So I know it needs the big muffler.
Good to know about the resonators too.

 

This one belongs to a friend of mine. Wish I had some better pic's for you without all the auto show clutter. Gary

Rivi's and Astros go together like peas and carrots in my book.

 

My all time favorite Rivi. I know I know wide whites blah blah blah but I like the switch from the normal Astro's and skinny whites. Courtesy of Rod and Custom's website...

Herse some of my 63'. Its one of 1200 made in 1963 with the 425 Nailhead. Kinda in the same boat, haven't done anything to it yet. Love the Rivs.
