Get A Closer Look At The Detroit Speed-Built 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport

[@ricksand6477]

What a work of art, guys! I'm a Riviera fanatic. The 1965 is the high point for this storied marque. Usually I'm a stickler for authenticity, but I have to give you well-deserved props for your beautiful work. You've managed to enhance the classic design with modern features. Your Riviera isn't just another resto-mod. This car shows great respect for the original and one must appreciate the thought and design sense that went into the build. The level of craftsmanship also looks second-to-none. Thanks for sharing!

[@amjrpain919]

Cadillac really dropped the ball passing on this one!...

[@Wellcome-back-America]

I'm 71 years young & born and raised in Detroit...I had a 65 Riviera...let me say this, if I was rich I would give anything you asked for that car I just seen on your video I'm "flabbergasted" at all the craftsmanship you guys put into that car unbelievable you should be proud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I'm so in love with this Riviera as well! It's a money no object build that I would love to own.

[@bawintermage8351]

I certainly hope you get your chance to at least drive another one, my neighbor has a 71 , that rear end is so sweet

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

Sir! If you really like these first gen Rivieras, check my personal channel I have a 64 that gets that same reaction when people see it. (Not trying to promote my shitty videos, but I know how rare these cars are and even fewer are those who know and appreciate them.)

[@tomquinn607]

One of the best restomods I've ever seen. As a Buick guy I have to say its great to see the 65 Riviera get its due. A classic American Grand Touring car paid tribute to in a beautiful, well thought out build. I'm now a subscriber. Great work!

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

@@tomquinn607 the best one I’ve ever seen was the vanquish Riviera from Sema

[@soyounoat]

Probably the first time I have made this comment: The trunk interior on this car is the sweetest I have ever seen.

[@hfactor7979]

I owned a 65 a few years back, planned to restore, but never got around to it. After seeing this build, I'm glad I didn't and let it go. These men gave the perfect example, to those that don't understand, there are levels to this car game. This in my humble opinion, is the most beautiful Buick, I have ever seen! It is not very often one can completely out do the original, these gentlemen awakened the dead with this one. I am completely and utterly blown away., the owner has to be very proud. Bravo and hats off to these craftsmen.

[@cannondevin]

The amount of work y’all put into to keeping the original look but upgrading everything at the same time is amazing.

[@stephencurry8552]

Really? Amazing? They were paid to do what they did. In what way is that amazing? Please explain.

[@cannondevin]

@@stephencurry8552 is amazing because it’s not that money but the skill set. Many people are paid to do things at time that they cannot fulfill

[@Johnfisher12345]

Go back to flipping burgers, NOT Steph Curry. Nobody cares.

[@stevekalas4943]

This is a brand new Riviera with modern features. Beyond Expectations. Kudos.

[@detroitspeed]

Thank you!

[@haffrods7055]

Knocked it out of the park. Very nice job DSE crew. I love all the details especially when you keep that original style.

[@ozahmed4523]

When the lights are open, the covers look like a British Knight's helmet. The kind they have on a bridge on the Thames river.

[@jamesrobert4106]

From England...That car is simply staggering.

[@eddysmith9318]

I'll admit that is one beautiful car. However I am more of the purest. I feel that the ribbed rocker panels is part of what gives the "65 Riviera it's personal mystique. To each is own. Or like a neighbor of mine used to say. "Whatever floats your boat man".

[@justinwhitaker3537]

American craftsmanship at it's finest!

[@strangemanmtd8350]

That's one of the best resto mod build I have ever seen.

[@77cordobaguy]

I have owned a total of four 65 Buick Riviera's. Nothing quite this beautiful. I had three drivers and one parts car over my lifetime. This is still my all-time favorite car. I wish I still had one. This is the most beautifully done Riviera that I have ever seen.

[@Shawps]

My dad had one of these. I dream of that car.

[@dh2360]

I'm a Mopar diehard but this Buick is sleek and very cool, worth while project that is extremely well done.

[@garethmorris6323]

Wow, Wow, Wow! Absolutely an amazing build guy's!!!!!

[@stevemehanmusic]

I’ve always thought the 65 Riviera is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed … now kicked up to notches unknown!

[@Bubbles99718]

Seems to be in just about everyone's top 5 list. Exterior obviously but to have the interior be as good is pretty rare

[@eonejaya7111]

the headlight is bloody cool

[@momchilyordanov8190]

The guy who did these bumpers... man! Give him a medal or something. The guy is not a metal worker, he's a jeweller!

[@steved7085]

Amazing skill and workmanship has gone into this car, all that time and effort has produced a beautiful vehicle.

[@michaelcrafter8994]

Man this guy has passion, you can tell. And he knows this car inside and out. Really enjoyed his presentation

[@motomuso]

Beyond beautiful! Nice that Jason gives credit to each craftsman in this tour. Heaps of talent on display here.

[@kenglavens6455]

I love 99.9% of it. Wish you would have kept it as a 65 in the rear with the tail lights in the bumper. To me, along with the stacked hidden head lights, that 1965 update is what made 65 the favorite of that generation..IMHO. Nevertheless, it's still spectacular.

[@EnkiMMXII]

Literally scrolled through the comments to find this one. I didn’t wanna be the one to say it first.

[@raynabozny2338]

My parents had a 66 but the 65 was always my favorite.

[@sru1436]

Beautiful work, love the hood ornament too!

[@earlputnal9124]

An extremely sweet ride. And extensive but efficient work done to keep it as original as possible. Very good work guys.

[@cyclonekevin6199]

Awesome ride, great job.

[@mitchellschwartz2148]

The work by DSE is legendary. Subtle, not overdone, but on close inspection, all of the trick modernization is discovered. What is not to LOVE?

[@josephmatuszak3855]

The shifters and the seats... just nail the GS spec of the car. Cruiser, but fun and spirited. Gorgeous colors throughout! The choice of wood was keen. What a work of Art and Spirit that functions!

[@michaelbaniak2903]

Stunning! Great job!

[@lcurtsinger4313]

Details Details Details, you nailed it

[@rdpurdom]

Hands down, one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen! What a nice job guy. Congrats!

Nice car. Well done guys.

[@FrisellFan01]

This Riv is beautiful......way beyond words....truly the finest Riv I have ever seen.

[@VettemanLT5]

Holy CRAP what a car!! My favorite Buick of all time. You guys nailed it hard it's an incredible piece of art.

[@tg426]

Spectacular build! 😍

[@CHEECHMUN]

The 65 Riv was really the only car that you can say was Customized from the factory. I see gasoline spilling into the trunk though. Excellent fabrication & fit. Still looks like a Riviera!!!!!

[@rdpurdom]

Back in the late 70’s, before I moved from Southern California where I was raised, my brother and I restored 356 Porsches. Our first restoration win 2nd place at the Newport Fashion Island Concours Show. This is such a gorgeous and tastefully done car. Without question, one of the most beautiful car designs to ever come out of Detroit. I was born in Flint Michigan. My father worked at Bendix Brake works and my mother worked at Fisher Body. She did the embroidery for Cadillacs. The changes you made were perfect@ especially the clam door light covers. PERFECT! Can’t wait to see your next re-creation!

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

Man I love those Riviera's!!!

[@jamesrankin9833]

Absolutely a piece of ART!! Best year ever for the rivys! You all did a magnificent job! I’m talking Chip Foose stuff! That’s one sexy Rivy!! Good stuff!

[@lovmytruck]

WOW, what a fantastic job.

[@carlosojeda1956]

All I can say is that is absolutely beautiful.

[@middnight3474]

I remember buying one back in high school with dual quads for $400 to drive as a winter beater . It was a fun winter .

[@bobbrogley1033]

[@luish777]

Nothing like a 65 Riv and its interior you guys fking nailed it imo it's the Royal Royce of hot rods

That car is incredible, you guys are Sincerely artists, every little detail was thought through, love the way you did the new clam shells, I know everything is subjective, I prefer the original full chrome bumper on that car, but the car as a whole is a piece of art , congratulations👍🙌

[@markpoulsen6429]

Wow, fantastic work! I had a '63 Riv when I was young, wish I still had it! And yeah, HUGE trunk, I used to put a Marshall 4x12 speaker cabinet, my amp head, and two guitars in there with no issues.

You folks put some amazing craftsmanship in this car, but I have to say that I'm a little disappointed that there is just another LS in the engine bay.. Was really hoping to see a true Buick power plant

[@iggyfritz7150]

That by far is the most stunning Buick I've ever seen you guys are Masters at everything you have done to this car. It should win tons of trophies it started out as one of the sexiest cars and you guys just took it over the top.. I vote hell yes

[@jamesweaver1738]

I had a friend in high school back in the 60s. He had a badass RIV. It looked factory. A 425 plus a 4 speed. Never saw anything like it. And it had dual quads

[@johnmcdonnell81]

Awesome!

My God!!! This thing is truly spectacular!

Ihave always wanted one of these when I saw them in the 70's , forgot about them until i saw roadhouse.

[@noizychild]

I love this. When I get my boat tail, I'd love for them to do it up!

Beautiful Riv!! Please don't go with a soundtrack just detracts from the visual and narration. Ok, I get it, 'badass' music for a badass car, but c'mon. Love the explanation of the build and the car is gorgeous and that's really all you need.

[@romeshter]

UNBELIEVABLE! That is all I can say.

[@buddy8412]

Light units matching the grill is clean clean clean.
