Roof ConstructionBuick's third generation personal luxury car with
once controversial, but now increasingly collectible, 'Boat tail'
styling lasted for only 3 years (1971-73) with the first two years
(1971-72) being the most desirable before the 1973 model's
abbreviated boat-tail and undesirable larger 'safety' bumpers. The
tapered fastback roof evoked memories of the 1930's Auburn
Speedsters and reflected a penchant for retro styling late in the
career of GM's legendary styling chief Bill Mitchell. Far more
sculptured and far more massive than the earlier Riviera's yet
still boasting 0-60mph in under 10 seconds!The car has it's
original 'Sandalwood' factory color paint and 'Black' Vinyl roof
and also boasts it's all original 'Black' interior including the
dashboard, steering wheel, carpets and seats. It's original spare
wheel and jack are in the trunk. Recently purchased from a local
California collector with no signs of any accidents or rust with
the floor boards, trunk and all the typically rust-prone areas
completely solid and rust free - obviously a most likely always
garaged driver since new and with a believed to be an original 25K
miles.The '455' 4 barrel V8 engine is extremely strong and powerful
and the suspension is tight and smooth and the steering is
excellent. All the power options are working as they should.This is
a great opportunity to own a great daily driving example of a very
original survivor and a rust and accident free 1972 Buick Riviera,
with Boat Tails now becoming harder to find in such fine unabused
and all original condition and becoming more desirable than ever
before, this is a great opportunity to own a highly desirable and
collectible example of one of the outstanding GM designs of the
early seventies, a fun investment that's sure to appreciate over
the years for any classic American muscle car collector or simply
any Buick enthusiast looking for a nice daily driving third
generation Riviera!
