Customizing the 1969 Buick Riviera

The pagan gold painted 1969 Riviera is hard not to notice. This car project of love is a customization with endless possibilities. This low-rider boasts a sleek design with shaved body moulding, hydraulic suspension, and an upscale interior. Powered by a Buick 430 V8 engine with 360 horsepower, 475 lb-ft of torque and a 7.0-liter colossus that shocked each onlooker. 

Its detailed trunk is used to hold a pagan gold and chrome hydraulic suspension system. While the interior beams with chocolate brown and cream leather with pagan gold finish accents. This restomod will be seen and heard from miles away!
