UP FOR AUCTION HERE IS THIS 1972 BUICK RIVIERA. THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW ABOUT THESE BOAT TAILS WILL KNOW THAT THE 1971 AND 1972 ARE THE MOST DESIRABLE YEARS DUE PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE 1973 CRASH TEST STANDARDS THAT MANDATED 5MPH BUMPERS THAT TOTALLY RUINED THE BEAUTY OF THESE CLASSICS. THIS RIVI RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL BUICK 455 V8 AND TURBO 400 TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. ORIGINAL WHEELS. IT IS ALL STOCK EXCEPT FOR ONE REPAINT, FRONT SEATS RECOVERED SOME TIME AGO, AND A TRUE DUAL ALUMINIZED EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS. THE FACTORY QUADRAJET 4 BARREL CARB WAS JUST REBULD THIS MONTH. IT HAS FOUR TOYO TOURING WHITEWALL TIRES ON IT BOUGHT FROM LES SCHWAB 2 YEARS AGO WITH PROBABLY LESS THAN 3 THOUSAND MILES ON THEM. EVERYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE WORKS EXCEPT FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE CLOCK. THE FACTORY AM RADIO IS THERE AND STILL WORKING. ALL THE A/C PARTS ARE THERE. THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS FROZE UP SO THE ACCESORY BELT FOR THE A/C WAS REMOVED.IT SHOWS 33K ON THE ODOMETER WICH IS ACTUALLY 133K. ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. THIS BEATIFULL BUICK HAS POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, AND POWER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. DRIVING THIS CAR IS LIKE BEING ON A CLOUD. THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE DRIVEN THESE OLDER GM BIG BODY CARS KNOW WHAT I MEAN, EXCELLENT RIDE AND VERY COMFORTABLE. ALL SEAT BELTS ARE THERE. THIS CAR ALSO HAS THE REAR WINDOW BLOWER DEFROST OPTION. LIKE I SAID THIS VEHICLE STARTS, DRIVES, SHIFTS, AND STOPS BEAUIFULLY. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE THAT I COULD AFFORD THE GAS BILL! NOW FOR THE NEGATIVES. THERE IS A SPLIT SEAM IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THERE ARE CRACKS ON BOTH DOOR ARMRESTS. THERE IS A CRACK GOING FROM THE IN DASH SPAEKER TO THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE DASH(THER IS A VELOUR DASH MAT COVERING THIS).MOST OF THESE CAN BE SEEN IN THE PHOTOS. DONT GET ME WRONG THE INTERIOR IS QUITE PRESENTABLE I JUST WANT TO DISCLOSE EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS HAPPY. THE REAR BUMPER HAS A SMALL DING IN IT. THE BIGGEST FLAW IN THIS CAR IS THE PAINT. IT WAS REPAINTED 4YRS AGO AND LET SIT IN THE NEVADA SUN WHICH OXIDIZED THE PAINT AND LEFT STREAKING AND WATERMARKS. I TRIED TO RUB IT OUT THE BEST I COULD BY HAND, BUT ITS GOING TO TAKE A BUFFER AND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I FIGURED I WOULD LEAVE THAT TO THE BUYER. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW CHIPS IN THE PAINT. THERE IS MINOR BUBBLING IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL. I TRIED TO SHOW ALL OF THIS IN THE PICS BUT ITS HARD TO SEE. THIS CAR LOOKS GREAT THOUGH AND WILL GET LOOKS AND THUMBS UP WHEN YOU DRIVE IT. IT IS A REAL SURVIVOR FOR ITS AGE AND HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED WITH VIRTUALY ZERO RUST FROM BEING IN NEVADA FOREVER. THE ONLY REASON IM GETTING RID OF THIS CAR IS THAT I DONT HAVE THE TIME OR INSIDE STORAGE SPACE IT DESERVES. I ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER CARS THAT NEED ATTENTION AS WELL. WISH I COULD KEEP THEM ALL, BUT HEY, WERE NOT ALL AS LUCKY AS JAY LENO. I AM A VERY HONEST PERSON AND WILL ANSWER ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY. I AM EASY TO WORK WITH AS WRONG AS YOU ARE HONEST AS WELL. I HAVE SOLD MANY VEHICLES THROUGH EBAY WITH 100% SUCCESS AS MY FEEDBACK PROVES. CHECK IT OUT. BUYER IS TO PAY FOR AND ARRANGE SHIPPING. I WILL ASSIST IN LOADING IF NEEDED. A 500 DOLLAR DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24HRS OF YOU WINNING THE AUCTION. THE REMAINING BALANCE IS DUE IN CASH OR CASHIERS CHECK FROM BANK OF AMERICA OR WELLS FARGO BANK UNLESS YOU SET SOMETHING ELSE UP WITH ME BEFORE BIDDING. I CAN STORE THE CAR FOR YOU FOR UP TO A MONTH AS LONG AS IT IS PAID FOR. IF YOU HAVE ZERO OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK I WILL REJECT YOUR BID UNLESS YOU CONTACT ME FIRST FOR APPROVAL. THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN FALLON NEVADA 89406. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING.
