MY GRANDFATHER PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1970 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN BARNHART, MO IN THE ST. LOUIS AREA. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY FOR 54 YEARS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. THIS POWERFUL BUICK IS A SLEEK SHOW CAR WITH A GREAT FAMILY HISTORY. THIS JEWEL IS POWERED BY A 455CI V8 WILDCAT ENGINE AND IS PAIRED WITH A THREE SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH ONLY 103,000 MILES. IT COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL FACTORY STAMPED STEEL WHEELS, 90% NEW COMMUTER 205/70/R15 TIRES WITH SPARE AND A CAR COVER. THE INTERIOR IS VERY COMFORTABLE, SHOWS LITTLE WEAR AND STILL HAS THAT NEW LEATHER SMELL. THE GREEN LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN 95% PERFECT CONDITION WITH MATCHING FACTORY CARPETING, BUICKFLOOR MATS, FLAWLESS HEADLINER AND THE DASHBOARD IS FREE OF ANY CRACKING. SHE'S WELL EQUIPPED WITH A VIPER ALARM, POWER WINDOWS, 6-WAY SEAT, POWER TRUNK RELEASE, TILT WHEEL, CORNERING LIGHTS AND REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER -- ALL, IN WORKING CONDITION. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL AM RADIO THOUGH I'VE ADDED A KENWOOD CD PLAYER IN THE GLOVE BOX WITH TWO AMPLIFYERS AND A SUBWOLFER. THE CAR HAS HAD A THOROUGH MECHANICAL RECONDITIONING INCLUDING RE- GASKETING OF THE ENGINE, CLEANING OF THE OIL SCREEN AND PAN, MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER, RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, FUEL PUMP AND CARBURATOR. A TUNE-UP OF POINTS, PLUGS, WIRES, CAP AND ROTOR HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND IT HAS NEW BELTS/HOSES, A NEW BLOWER MOTOR FOR THE HEATER/FAN AND NEW BRAKES, INCLUDING LINES. THE AC COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT I STILL HAVE ALL OF THE PARTS. IT HAS EXCELLENT BODY INTEGRITY WITH ITS SHINY CHROME, GREEN VINYL TOP AND ORIGINAL STOCK DARK GREEN PAINT. ALL DOORS, HOOD AND TRUNK OPEN AND CLOSE AS THEY SHOULD. THIS THIRD GENERATION MINT RIVIERA MUSCLE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN TO VARIOUS CAR CLUB EVENTS, SHOWS AND CRUISES. IT'S IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE IN ALL ASPECTS AND THE STRONG 455 V8 PROVIDES TREMENDOUS, YET SMOOTH AND SILENT POWER.
