About the man behind the work
Many of the parts I offer are used Buick parts that are refinished, reburbished, reconditioned, and/or restored. My efforts focus on bringing you newly manufactured parts or reworked used parts ready for you to use.
I am a 1963 Buick Riviera owner that Ive kept mostly stock. The car has been restored to original condition using new parts and used Buick parts.
The engine has been completely rebuilt and balanced by JB Engine Machines in Rosedale MD. The AC has been replaced by repro parts on the original design with cold air. The transmission (Original DynaFlow) is being rebuilt by JD’s Auto Restoration in Huntingdon Valley PA. The suspension has been replaced with new coils, new Bilstein Shocks, brake lines, wheel cylinders, brake booster, and sway bars front and back. A new gasoline tank and sender has been replaced. A trunk kit has been installed. Interior leather for the 63 Riv was reproduced from original pattern and installed locally. The dash pad was rebuilt by me and covered with matching red vinyl with hair cell grain finish. A bit of body work has been nicely performed by Bob Holt from While Marsh MD. The rear window was taken out and rust was repaired so the window would not leak. The exhaust (dual) was newly installed by Marty Arroyo. The exhuast is not original and produces just enough crackle and reverb to sound just right. I have several sets of wheels and wheel covers I change up on my Riviera.

My personal 1963 Buick Riviera.
I buy parts I can rebuild to add value to make it easier for the customer to install the part. Many find having the used part ready to install a time saver and worth the extra investment. For those looking for parts they want to buy for as little cash as possible I probably do not have the part for you. For instance I sell used original Buick Chrome Wheels (aka Formula V, Buick Roadwheels, Rallye Wheels) for full size Buicks. The wheels have original chrome I clean refinish the original chrome and paint the webs. I don’t sell cores per se. Call or e-mail to make inquiries about what you see in the photos if you think you’d like to buy the item. Being retired I do this work to bring quality parts for 63-65 Buick Rivieras ready to install.
