Up for sale is a ONE OWNER 1971 Buick Riviera Sports Coupe! It needs work. It will run. It has 134,xxx miles. The driver's door is ajar but does close incorrectly. Gas line problems prevent the engine from running consistantly but it will fire up when gas is poured into the 4 bbl carburator on the 455 cid engine. It has set for the past 20 plus years and not been regularly driven. It has the expected rust on the body and inside of the trunk on both sides of the floorboards. I did not completely close the hood because I do not know if the linkage from the interior will function properly and who needs one extra problem when selling a car! There is no battery (I used my trailer battery to start it the other day). Ok, now that I exposed the bad points of the car, I will detail the good points. The chrome is in great condition, not dented up. The trim pieces are in great condition! The interior is in great condition. The Buick Riviera rally wheels are decent with some surface rust. The car's power seat and windows appear to be working correctly. The tires are old but hold air. The rear window is in great condition. The front window has a minute chip that can be filled. In total, it is an old car that has a lot of potential either as a restoration or as a parts car. I can be reached at 734-516-9166 if you have any other questions or want to arrange a meeting to inspect the car. It will be advertised in other publications in print and on the web so it just might disappear at any time. I have the original title and stamped metal "vehicle card" along with decades of maintenance history. It cost $5,373.00 new when purchased on Oct 2, 1971, from the Frank McNally Buick dealership in Flushing (Flint) Michigan. It is located in Grand Blanc, Michigan (Flint area). I do have the means to deliver in an enclosed Car Hauler and will work with you on the cost to deliver it. However, payment is required in advance if I am contracted to make the delivery.
