You are viewing a very rare 1972 Buick Riviera GS with a Stage 1 455 cubic inch V8 (confirmed in person by a National Riviera judge). Here are some highlights on this very special car: GS Performance package (only 2,171 produced in 1972. Fewer with the Stage 1 motor) Stage 1 455 cu in V8 confirmed by a national Riviera judge Automatic transmission Original posi rear end Previous owner purchased in 1976. I have paperwork back to that purchase date. Equipped with power windows, seats, working A/C, am/fm stereo, cruise Both engine and transmission have been rebuilt. The engine shows wonderful oil pressure and temperature. The transmission shifts beautifully Starts, runs and drive beautifully Seats are in near perfect condition. No rips,tears or any visible wear. Carpet is beautiful, door panels and armrests are in excellent condition Vinyl top is in great shape Trunk very original, rust-free and appears to be untouched. All matting and trim intact The paint, if not original, is decades old and shows extremely well I have owned and collected classic cars for the last 26 years, beginning with the 1969 Dodge Charger I bought when I was sixteen, and which I still own today. I still own my 2nd car as well, a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, which I drove from my senior year in high school through to my second year of graduate school in the department of English at the University of Central Florida in Winter Park, FL. So my passion for classic cars -- and especially Mopars -- has been a lifelong pursuit and is about the most fun I can imagine having. I am an Oxford-educated motorhead that's been car crazy since bell bottoms were in style the first time around. And because I love to find, own, drive and collect all kinds of classic cars, there comes a point when I have to sell a few of them to keep my collection manageable, or else they all don't get exercised like they should. This is one of those times. My collection has expanded to about two dozen cars, when really, if I am totally honest with myself, I should get it down to about twelve so that I have the time to drive and enjoy them all. I am a firm believer that cars should and need to be driven. And when I can't drive them all enough, I go through the painful process of letting a few of them go on to new owners that will hopefully get out there and drive them more than I have time to. This is the reason I am proudly offering my 1972 Buick Riviera GS for sale to its next proud owner. Both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt during its lifetime and both function very nicely. It is an extremely strong-running and powerful car, with the GS upgrades giving an extra punch to that big 455 V8. The A/C works nicely and blows ice cold. This Riviera is a substantially original example of one of the most stunning designs in automotive history. I love trades, so that might work if you have something I'm interested in.
