*** Please.... Do not make an offer if you have not intention of completing the transaction.... Offered for your consideration is a ~ Super Rare 1973 Buick Riviera GS Stage 1 ~ Last Boat tail year of the Riviera ~ This car is in need of a new Loving Owner ~ Solid Original Car ~ Not altered or abused, just has sat for a long time with a short ride a few times a year. Low Miles . Following info from Hemmings Motor news: 1973 Buick Riviera GS Stage1 ~ Utilizing the base 455-cu.in. V-8, cylinder heads with .125-inch oversized valves, a special camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs and a deep sump oil pump all contributed to an increase in horsepower to 330, and torque to 455-lbs.ft. a specially calibrated Turbo 400 is still mated to the engine block. ** The Car is in Salt Lake City 84106 and is available for inspection ** Send me you Phone number and I will call you if you wish to speak in person ** I can send you additional pictures and video if you wish. VERY VERY Rare Stage 1. Low Miles.... Only 728 Stage 1 out of 1234 1973 Buick Riviera GS Produced >>>>>> This is a Fasssst....Old Riviera! Low Original Mile car, It needs some TLC in the interior, Just the top part of the dash is cracked, the face of the dash is lovely, the seats are covered and tattered, the head liner is down and the interior front door panels are worn but the back seat panels are great. The Motor is Strong and always starts with no tinkering. ** The photos were taken before the drivers front tire chrome was damaged when the tire tread came off while It was taking a seasonal cruise around the block. ** The damaged drivers wheel chrome is in the back seat ** The Drivers visor, Dash Pad (Which you will see the Velcro on the dash) and the damaged drivers chrome strip are in the back seat. This car has custom seat covers, and from what I can tell all original glass, there is a sticker on the passenger door glass that states it had a paint protector applied way back when, the discoloration in the pictures is all over the car, it looks to me as thought it was buffed and polished for years and that most likely is the cause. There is a small ding on the drivers side top of the fender and one on the drivers door. I thought it to be pretty cool that the drivers seat literally lifts up and forward to let the passengers in. The Car will run great while it is some what rat rod looking if you give it a good cleaning while you take your time to restore it. Solid old Rare Buick Riviera GS Stage1 This car is VERY RARE ! There were very few of these Rivieras that came with the GS and the Stage 1 Motor Package. Taking into consideration the few rust spots around the wheel wells, near rear quarter panels, normal wear and tear on the paint and body and the Interior needing attention arm rests in the front on both passenger and drivers door are cracked up and the passenger door is stuck locked but you can hear the clicker trying to release, I have listed this car with a very low price and a make an offer feature. It is located in Salt Lake City Utah. The drivers side tire tread came off and bent the chrome strip that goes on the wheel well, I would imagine it should drive right home with the tire replaced. Strong Runner ~ Excellent Price ~ Super Rare Model ~ There are old service documents included to verify mileage and previous repairs. Some of the repairs completed less than 300 miles ago and in 2006 (Car Rarely Driven) were, New brakes, Front Caliper/Rotars, Master Cylinder, Brake drums, Head Lamps, Tail Light Socket, Idler Arm, Outer Tie Rods, Tie Rod sockets, Alignment, Auto transmission flush, and Heater/ Fuel gauges. All New! The Car has passed IM and Inspections in the past with ease.

Visible through windshield /^ = and up Info from a fellow ebayer and Riviera fan below. Dear greek-bearing-gifts,Fantastic car for a resto, one of 1,234. I saw one of these with the sunroof option go for over 36 grand some years back, it had crazy low miles somewhere in the low 30K range. The only rarer Riv by production numbers is a dual quad optioned 66 GS at 179 which someone in the ROA is currently restoring, cant wait until they finish it. Was the Stage 1 emblem that's supposed to be on the grille always missing, or you have it and its just not attached? Usually on these cars the few that I've seen, its the air cleaner lid. I have two 71 Riv GS's and one of them is missing its chrome air cleaner lid, has the stock black with the 455-4 sticker. Anyway, good to see another super rare GS ready to hopefully find a new life again, best of luck with it. Please feel free to ask questions, you can test drive in Salt Lake City, Car sold as is..
