Description

I am selling my 1971 Buick Riviera with 111,724 original miles on it.It has the original 455 with 4 barrel carburetor, has lots of power andruns very well, never presented me with a problem or failed to start.Has AC (currently not working, has no belt and needs charge I'm sure),power windows (all of which function), power steering and disk brakes upfront. The only issue with the engine is the carburetor, the linkage onthe passenger side of the carb is missing (can be seen in pictures)which causes the 4 barrel not to open properly. It makes for a goodcruiser as is but if you punch it, it will stutter since it's notopening up. It does run great aside from this issue, a new carb or a kitwould fix this. Has a new dual exhaust ran and sounds awesome. The bodyis in good shape with very little rust. There is a little on the topside of the door jam, a spot along the lip of the hood, and a little inthe lip in the trunk under the rear window but it isn't rusted through,just surface rust all of which can be seen in the pictures. I believethis is due to a leak in the rear window, bad seal or something alongthose lines, just haven't had the opportunity to deal with it and since Ikeep it in the carport it hasn't really been a problem. The driversside rear floor pan has been patched and is strong but not aprofessional job has can be seen if you crawl under the car. Theinterior is in decent shape, the rear seats need cleaning up and thereare 4 cracks in the dash, I took a picture of the worst one. Also, theheadliner has been removed. The bucket seats that are in it now are notoriginal, but I do have the original bench seat that came in the car. Itis complete but could use recovering as the passenger side seams aresplitting and there's a large tear in the driver's side. Speaking of thedriver's side, the door handle is broken on that door. It can still beeasily opened from the outside but a replacement handle would be ideal.Has $1,000 worth of American Racing wheels which give it a good stance.Tires are fair but could use replacing, more so up front. All in allthis is a good solid car, a great driver and with a little work it couldbe in excellent shape. I drove this car to a wedding recently and putover 400 miles on it in a weekend, very dependable car. Comes with some original pamphlets andalso some service records of the car that were kept. I have tried tomention everything about the car and believe I have done so, but feelfree to ask any questions. I can be reached via message through eBay oron my cell at 662-315-1337, text or call. Thanks for looking, Thomas.
