There is a certain poetry to a big Buick that cruises by with
presence and a hint of theater. This Riviera wears that statement
well, the kind of car that turns a routine drive into an occasion
and invites you into a slower, more deliberate kind of enjoyment.
It carries tasteful period upgrades with a full repaint in factory
correct Arctic White, alongside its classic lines, and the story
shows in the details from the vinyl top to the stereo that still
plays. If you want to own a memorable piece of late 1960s American
luxury that charms on sight and sound, consider this 1968 Buick
Riviera GS.
Step inside and you are greeted by Deluxe Black vinyl Strat-o-bench
seat that recalls longer, more comfortable drives. The interior is
largely correct and retains factory cues including power windows,
power locks, tilt column and remote mirror. An AM radio remains in
the dash while an 8-track and equalizer mounted under the dash feed
Panasonic speakers on the driver side kick panel. An aftermarket
gauge cluster sits above the steering column and adds a touch of
driver info while keeping the cabin period appropriate. Some
vintage add-ons are present, and overall the cabin shows well with
normal wear.
Under the hood lives a 430 cubic inch V8 from 1969 with an
estimated output around 360 horsepower and roughly 475 ft-lbs of
torque. Power goes through a three-speed TH400 automatic
transmission and a 10-bolt rear axle, and the car is equipped with
power steering and factory power drum brakes front and rear. Dual
exhaust, functioning flip-up headlights and 15 inch wheels wrapped
in 235/70R15 BFGoodrich tires provide the stance and sound to match
the Riviera's personality.
