Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1970 Buick Riviera E-body
coupe. Built in GM's Flint, Michigan factory during the second week
of August 1969. Dressed in Tealmist Gray (code 16) with a black
bodyside molding (code A-946), full black vinyl roof (code 12B) and
black interior (code 698), the paint and trim are in great overall
condition. The glass panels are clear and crack-free, the car's
lights are haze-free and clear. The car's bodywork is straight, the
engine bay is very tidy, the battery appears new, the bumpers are
in satisfactory order, the cargo area looks good and include four
spare wheel covers. Under the hood is a 455 CID big-block V-8
engine that breathes via dual exhausts. Backing this motor is a
Super Turbine 400 three-speed automatic transmission and a 2.78:1
rear end. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning,
power steering, power brakes, power windows, driver's side remote
mirror and rear defroster. This big cruiser rolls on Broadway
Classic whitewall radials, size P235/75R15 at all four corners and
each donut is mounted on factory, vented, five-spoke alloy wheels.
The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in
satisfactory order. Inside, the car's black interior is in overall
very nice original condition. The Strato buckets and rear bench
seats look good, as does the matching carpet and headliner. The
two-spoke steering wheel is present and looks good as do the
instrument panel and inner door panels too. This Riviera is
equipped with the factory air-conditioning, but it is currently
inoperable with no belt driving the compressor. The center console
and shifter continue the very original theme. Rounding out the
interior is a factory AM/FM radio and a rear window defroster. The
1970, Riviera was restyled. Exposed quad headlamps were almost
flush-mounted while the new front bumper wrapped around and over
the new vertical bar grille, set between the headlamp pods. A newly
optional side trim feature accented the large coupe's flowing
lines. Skirted rear wheels became standard, with exposed wheels an
option. At the rear, a new rear bumper/taillight motif was seen.
The engine was upgraded to 455�CID, the largest engine Buick
offered to date. Despite the fact that 1970 sales dropped to
37,366, the second-generation Riviera proved more successful than
the first, with 227,669 units sold over five seasons. Competition

Cadillac's Eldorado, Chevrolet's Monte Carlo, Chrysler's 300-H,
