Vehicle Description
This 1969 Buick Riviera has a radiant style, unique details, a
loaded interior, and an all-around well-presented style. So you are
already in love with this classic before we remind you of the big
V8 power under the hood that lets you cruise with comfort and
authority.
The 1969 coupe was a great design that has the best of the iconic
series. It kept familiar cues from the iconic first generation,
including stylish headlights and a sporty rear fender kick-up in
the profile. But the sharply pointed style of these 2nd gen
hardtops laid the groundwork for the boat tail 3rd gen. And
providing a bridge between two distinct designs, this is especially
an impressive icon all on its own. That's why we're happy to see it
looking so distinguished. It has a nice maroon/copper paint that
has a smooth finish and a nice metallic glow. Adding to this shine
are mirror-like chrome bumpers that hug the form as an integral
part of the design. And everything from the glass to the Rally
wheels has the look of well-kept quality.
We love a hardtop with a premium vinyl roof, and it feels even more
thoughtful when the top is also coordinated with the interior
color. The style is quite clean and complete. So you can enjoy
details like the vintage seatback trim, wood-like veneering, and
full dome light package. There are well-integrated upgrades, like
how the AM/FM/CD stereo is below the dash so the factory unit can
still be on display. And the air conditioning now utilizes modern
R134a refrigerant (the blower will need servicing to blow cold
again.) It's these additions that make for an even better cruiser,
but this Riviera was already doing quite fine on its own from day
one. You have comfortable factory items like bucket seats, a center
console, and a steering wheel on a tilt column. And the unique
shifter is one of the most impressive we've seen in a while. Plus,
the power windows let you take down all the glass on this
pillarless hardtop without ever leaving the driver's seat.
Buick's 430 cubic-inch V8 debuted for this generation Riviera, and
it became legendary for its massive torque. And since this is such
an important powerhouse, it's great to see the engine bay looking
so stock and tidy. And while the big red motor grabs your
attention, there are also details like the Flamethrower distributor
and Taylor wires that tell you this has been under the proper
maintenance. The V8 fires up readily and it's eager to hit the
road. While you certainly have plenty of power, this Riviera can
also cruise like a proper Buick. That's why you have a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and modern
touring tires.
The sale comes with nice extras like the original window sticker,
sales literature, and a service manual. This is the best of classic
Buick style, and it's ready to hit the road. Call today!!!
