OVERVIEW: Having undergone at least one repaint, the green exterior
paint has weathered the years, showcasing some rust and paint
bubbles in certain areas. Although the paint itself is still in
remarkably good condition, there are some visible bubbles in a few
areas.The extent of these imperfections is clearly depicted in the
photos, allowing potential buyers to make informed decisions.

much of its original charm and presents in a nice, unrestored
condition. It appears that some portions of the front seats have
been repaired, preserving as much of the original interior as
possible. It appears the carpet has been replaced at some point as
well. Preserving the nostalgic feel of 1960s GM,the interior offers
a comfortable vintage driving experience. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:

conveniences such as air conditioning and power steering, this
Riviera remains a drivable classic. The mechanical aspects
contribute to a car that can be enjoyed on the road, despite its
original state. The 425 runs strong and sounds healthy, though a
carburetor rebuild may be in order. We can't think of a more iconic
engine to power this iconic car! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
