I'm the third owner of this well taken care of original Riv. I inherited the vehicle in 2012 and contemplated building a pro touring car. However, that has never materialized and the wife wants her garage spot. This Buick is in good mechanical condition, runs well and does get a lot of compliments when I take her out. I have heard several stories of one's parents owning one and them remembering how much fun it was to drive around. It's becoming a rarity to see these, I believe a significant number of them have been used for demo derby's or met their fate at the wrecking yard for scrap money. This would make an excellent base for building a cool and unique custom or could easily be driven as is for a daily if one were to prefer. The Good: Runs and drives well, the seats are really comfortable to sit in, interior is in really nice condition, maintenance as far as belts, hoses, spark plugs, tires, brakes, fuel lines have all been kept up with. All original, unmolested 1975 with low mileage that would be outstanding with a new paint job. Pretty much loaded with all available features. The Bad: To me personally the paint is old and faded in areas, minor dings, surface oxidation and areas that need touched up. Rear bumper fillers were falling apart and removed (brackets & nuts retained). Trim for Landau top around the side windows doesn't look that great (retained and in the trunk). Vacuum controlled diaphragm that controls heat temperature not fully actuating (On cold setting it is still warm). 8 Track player only plays through one speaker. The Details: Original Car Invoice, Warranty, Owner manual and consumer information Included along with the GM Factory production order - chassis - paint.

Production Order is from the factory and includes detailed information regarding the production line number, body serial #, Model info, sheet metal, wheel, Fan, options, exh, tires, axle, engine, speedo, trans, springs, shocks, frame, pulleys, belts, wiring harness, paint and the internal vehicle identification. As is this is a fun car to cruise around in, it has an expansive interior and with the sunroof open and the windows down it is just a fun vehicle to drive. I wish I had a pole barn to store this in to get it out of the garage but I don't so I hope it can go to a good new home. Let me know if you have any questions I may not have answered. Thanks for the interest.
