Vehicle Detail
1973 BUICK "BOATTAIL" RIVIERA VERY NICE & CLEAN CAR! MECHANICALLY IN GREAT SHAPE. GREAT CAR TO RESTORE! THIS ONE WILL BE EASY! THIS ONE WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 1973, MAKING IT ONE OF THE LAST "BOATTAILS" THAT WERE MADE! THE FACTORY 455ci 4 BBL V8 RUNS GOOD! THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GREAT TOO. SMOOTH & SOLID! FRONT END, GRILLS, FRONT BUMPER, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! IT HAS AN OLDER PAINT JOB, SO IT HAS CHIPS & BLEMS HERE & THERE!! HAD SOME DENTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, (WHERE THE PRIMER SPOTS ARE) BUT WE HAD THEM PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED. BUT CHOSE NOT TO REPAINT IT, FIGURING THAT THE NEW OWNER MAY WANT TO SEE WHAT HE IS GETTING BEFORE IT GETS COVERED OVER WITH A NEW COAT OF PAINT & MAY ALSO WANT TO CHOSE WHAT COLOR HE WANTS IT TO BE! BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT IS VERY NICE & SOLID TOO! LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS SOLID THROUGHOUT. IT HAS SOME MINOR SPOTS WHERE THE PAINT IS BUBBLING, BUT HAS NO ADVANCED RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL. LOOKS GREAT & RUNS GREAT TOO! OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: 4Y87U3H585381 ODOMETER READING: 25709 WE DO NOT GET SECURE ODOMETER STATEMENTS ON CARS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS:MILES EXEMPT. IMPORTANT TITLE INFO: The title we have for it is a "Lien Sale" title & it will come with a Bill of Sale as well. This is everything that the new buyer will need in the state of Oregon to transfer the title into their name. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF OREGON & NEED A REGULAR TITLE TO TRANSFER OWNERSHIP IN YOUR STATE OR COUNTRY, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM: We will happily transfer the Lien title at the Oregon DMV for you and get you a new regular Oregon title for the Oregon title transfer fee of $50. (This takes approximately 14 to 21 days.) BODY: SUPER NICE! OVERALL VERY STRAIGHT & CLEAN. GLASS: ALL GLASS IS GOOD. REALLY BEAUTIFUL CAR!! NICE SET OF FACTORY CHROME RALLY WHEELS WITH A VERY NICE SET OF MATCHING WHITE WALL RADIAL TIRES. ALL 4 HAVE ABOUT 80%+ TREAD LIFE LEFT! BOTH REAR QUARTERS ARE LIKE NEW! NICE & STRAIGHT!
