Vehicle Detail
1968 Riviera GS 430 V8 360HP @ 4600rpm, 475 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm. A real "stump puller" that appears to never have been apart. Un-molested very original car. Green exterior, White interior and vinyl top was originally white but very recently replaced with new black top, as seen in photo's. A/C car but compressor and condenser were removed and placed inside trunk prior to my ownership. Car has never been stuffed anyplace and pretty much what you see is what you get. Car ran and drove great up until parked in 05 due to illness and hasn't run since. Photos tell the pretty accurate story. Tires don't have more then 50 miles on them. I do not have any underside photos of the car but the best I can describe it is, scaly rust on frame but NO rot anywhere! The worst rot I can see is the lower 1/4 behind wheel but small issues in other body panels also. Front headlights are in-op at this time and the vacuum canisters are in trunk. Factory radio is in place and the area has never been modified as most have been. Back seat is pretty nice as are door panels. Front seat is also decent but discolored from age with one rip on backside of upper portion of passenger side, also very visible in photo. Dash is very nice with no modifications at all, just small crack on upper right corner that is clearly visible in photo. Steering wheel has several cracks. I have no capability to complete the restoration this car deserves and have the car on here at an extremely low start no reserve price. Any interested parties are strongly encouraged and invited to come and evaluate car for themselves. I have given the most accurate description my physical limitations allow. Reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is being advertised locally. All four wheels are in surprisingly excellent condition with all center-cap in place and nice.
