Vehicle Description
The third generation Riviera was radically redesigned for 1971 and
featured a flowing "boat tail" rear end that was a homage to the
Corvette Sting Ray. A much larger design than before, the Riviera
was slipping from its sport image as it grew in size and weight.
Thankfully the car came standard with the 455cid V8 that produced
up to 265hp in GS trim and could hit 60mph in 8 seconds which was
reasonable brisk.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this very nice Riviera GS for
your consideration. Finished in a unique shade of orange with a
contrasting beige vinyl roof and contrasting pin stripes, this is a
sharp looking car. Fitted with the GS packaged which was
ride-and-handling package that included a rear stabilizer bar, a
specially tuned "radial roadability" suspension, additional sound
insulation and special "Gran Sport" badging. The 455cid engine
starts up without an issue and sounds healthy. It pulls well and
the 3-speed ST-400 automatic transmission shifts smoothly. Front
power disc brakes and rear drums stop the car with authority and
the car is composed on the road. It has a lot of luxury features
including power windows, power front seats, air-conditioning, power
locks and a radio. Everything appears to be functional and the
condition of the car is very good overall. The paint and trim is in
great shape and the interior shows very little wear. The leather
seats are free of rips and stains and have good padding. The car
rides on 20in chrome wheels with tires that have tons of tread
left.
A very unique and stylish vehicle, just 34k Rivieras were produced
in 1973 and much less GS models. With lower mileage and great
condition, this car is a stunner. Comes with two keys as well as
the owners manual.
