Vehicle Description
The Buick Riviera is a personal luxury car produced by Buick from
1963 to 1999. GM's first entry into that prestige niche, the
Riviera was highly praised by automotive journalists upon its
high-profile debut. While early models stayed close to the original
form, eight subsequent generations varied substantially over the
Riviera's thirty-year lifespan. In all, 1,127,261 were produced.
The Riviera was radically redesigned for the 1971 model year with
flowing and dramatic "boat-tail" styling. Designed under Bill
Mitchell's direction, it was penned by Jerry Hirshberg, future head
of design for Nissan, mating the two-piece vee-butted fastback rear
window, inspired by the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split-window coupe,
to the Riviera's platform.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this one owner 1973 Buick
Riveria for consideration. Over the last 44 years, this vehicle has
been meticulously maintained and never neglected. The vehicle has
recently been repainted in Kodiak Brown Metallic and it sure does
look nice after receiving a professional detail, it's still shining
as if it just came out of the paint booth. The power plant in this
Riveria is the 455 cubic inch V8 and is paired with a 3-speed
automatic transmission, both are original and have not been
replaced or rebuilt. Some replaced parts and upgrades include;
newer tires, newer battery, newer rotors, pads, drums, linings,
belts, hoses, filters, radiator, fluids, newer carpet, newer seat
covers and cushions, newer headliner, newer vinyl rooftop and much
more. A total exterior body and trim restoration was done in early
2015 where all the original paint was removed, minor body rust
removed and filled professionally and then finishing the vehicle in
3 coats of primer, 2 coats of base, and 2 coats of clear in Ford's
Kodiak Brown Metallic. This is a great running car that is as
straight as they come, turn the key, set a destination and this
vehicle will not disappoint. Please call or email us today for more
