This 1971 Buick Riviera Boat Tail reigns as one of the most daring
designs ever produced by Detroit. This Riviera spanning an
impressive 19 feet flaunts a fresh coat of Comet Gold paint that
accentuates its dramatic fastback profile and knife-edge rear. The
bold styling choices continue with contrasting chrome bumpers and
trim, while 15-inch color-matched wheels shod in 225/75R15 rubber
anchor its stance. A vinyl roof, likely a more recent addition,
crowns this automotive sculpture, adding a touch of refinement to
its avant-garde silhouette.
Swing open the door to reveal a Sandal Wood interior that's a
cocoon of '70s luxury. Original vinyl bench seats offer spacious
comfort for extended cruises. The dash wears a protective cover,
preserving the classic lines beneath. Modern amenities like power
windows and locks blend seamlessly with the vintage aesthetics. An
upgraded AM/FM radio keeps the tunes flowing. The original carpets
add authenticity to this time capsule on wheels.
Lift the expansive hood to reveal Buick's legendary 455 cubic inch
V8, an engine renowned for its low-end torque and effortless
acceleration. This powerplant pairs with a TH400 3-speed automatic
transmission, delivering smooth shifts befitting a luxury cruiser.
Recent mechanical upgrades include a new brake master cylinder and
booster, ensuring this land yacht stops as confidently as it goes.
The dual exhaust system provides a fitting audio backdrop for
spirited driving. Power steering makes piloting this nearly two-ton
coupe a surprisingly agile experience, whether navigating city
streets or eating up highway miles.
