BUYING A HOUSE- SELLING EVERYTHING! ----1972 Buick Riviera GS Gran Sport boattail---Excellent candidate for a resto-mod, low rider or restore to original. THIS CAR IS 43 YEARS OLD AND WILL NEED A TOTAL RESTORATION TO BE A DEPENDABLE SHOW CAR!!! FIRST THE POSITIVE: Car has been in storage since 1995. Clear Montana title, 68k original miles, strong, smooth, clean running 455 - doesn't smoke in fact I was so impressed by the way this engine runs- that's why I bought the car in the first place. Extremely nice body/grill---no rust---no dents---1 scratch LF corner (see photos). Car is done in lime green with no clear coat (I don't know why they didn't clear coat it). Very nice original white vinyl top. Front windshield will need to be replaced but all other glass including rear boat tail is very nice! Interior has pillow top electric seats and all chrome door/dash hardware/switches/knobs are intact. Car runs, drives and brakes--- engine, transmission, drive train and body are solid. Car presents well--- I was going to black it out--gloss black paint/ blacked out glass w/chrome wheels and redline tires (see google images- 1971 buick riviera black) but the car could be extremely nice any color! ITEMS THAT WILL NEED ATTENTION: Drivers exterior door handle needs replaced-I have the broken original. Dash and door panels are cracked (see photos). A/C not functioning-compressor is intact. Some electric windows not functioning, Car needs a good cleaning from years of storage dust! If you are looking for a boat tail Riviera to build, this car is a solid- unmolested foundation with straight body lines, no dents, no rust, strong 455, nice glass, nice chrome and only 68k miles. --- AS ALWAYS, MY LISTING PRICE IS MY RESERVE--ONCE MET THE CAR WILL SELL! I have a 100% feedback rating and intend to keep it. I HAD TO RELIST THIS ITEM DUE TO NON-PAYMENT -- ONLY BID IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT, TRANSPORT IT AND REBUILD IT!!

On Mar-26-15 at 13:54:09 PDT, seller added the following information: I have received several questions that don't appear on the listing: Yes-This is a local dry Montana car. I knew the owner back in the 1970's and remember seeing it driving around Miles City. (you don't forget a car like this!) It's original color was dark olive green. Yes- it does have a posi-track rear end. Yes- car is driveable -it now has a good set of goodyear tires mounted on the original Riviera rims --however-- bear in mind -- belts, hoses and fluids etc. should be changed before a long distance trip, Trailering would be the safe bet. Yes- it has the original GM shoulder/lap seat belts for driver and front passenger. Yes- The steering column tilt has been professionally repaired to like new condition- perfect/tight function through the range of arc divits.(nice!) Yes- The pillow top seats are original to the car. The interior carpet color is dark brown-should be changed out.- also- as seen in the photos- the headlight surrounds/bezels are missing. they were not with the car when I purchased it. Thanks--
