Sleek 1973 Buick Riviera "boattail" Ready To Enjoy on 2040-cars
Rockledge, Florida, United States
|
1973 Buick Riviera "Boattail " offered in refreshed condition.
Purchased from an Estate sale 1 1/2 years ago---car was driven 1000 miles home without incident.
The body was in beautiful shape----the car had just under 49,000 original miles on it-- but its original off gold color was looking pretty tired.....and not a favorite color either.
So, the car was stripped to bare metal, any body imperfections repaired professionally---and painted in a PPG Base clear in rich shiny gloss black.
I think it is fair to say it looks stunning !
The engine was pulled and freshened, the engine area cleaned and detailed, the suspension areas freshened, and really----the car was so nice ---not much else really needed to be done.
The A/C components are all there---but no effort was made to freshen it. The tires are new.
All the gauges are accurate and as expected the clock doesn't work.The wipers work, the cruise works,the lights all work,blinkers work,and all the windows work.The radio is original and works.
The interior is all original---and presents well.
The Riv has been driven about 4000 trouble free miles since completion---so, the confidence level is high for quality conveyance. Still, it is a 40 year old car and as such is offered in as is condition.
A few details remain---the biggest one is replacing some of the weatherstrips around the windows and trunk.
It is possible this was a California car originally as it has California emissions stickers in the engine bay----but I can't prove this.
To be fair---this is not a show car---but it is a show off car----as the attention one gets driving it is pretty amazing!
Any questions or inquires can be made to 1-321-458-4205.
Thank you !

GM recalling 1.5M cars in China for faulty bracket
Fri, 27 Dec 2013General Motors and its Chinese partners have announced their second recall in the People's Republic this year, following a 2,653-unit recall of the Cadillac SRX earlier this year. This latest recall affects nearly 1.5 million cars built between 2006 and 2012. It's not explicitly stated, but as there's no movement from the US NHTSA, we suspect that the cars in question were all Chinese-built rather than imports.
The vast majority of the affected vehicles are Buick Excelles (pictured), with 1.2 million units being recalled over a faulty bracket that's meant to secure the fuel pump. The Excelles in question were built between 2006 and 2012, while an additional 250,000 Chevrolet Sail superminis, built between April 2009 and October 2011, are being recalled for a similar reason.
According to the PRC's Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the faulty bracket could crack and potentially cause a fuel leak.
GM mulling Chevy Cruze hatchback for US, Buick 'Panamera' among other new models
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We've spoken at length previously about the fallacy of poor hatchback sales in the US, and with the runaway success of its Chevrolet Cruze sedan, it's somewhat unsurprising to hear that General Motors is rethinking its decision not to sell an overseas five-door variant in North America as it looks to plug a number of holes in its lineup. GM North American President Mark Reuss admitted during a media luncheon this week that not offering the model "... was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake," says Forbes. With the next-generation model already well-along in development, it's likely that the current Cruze hatch (shown above) won't see US dealers.
Reuss admits not offering the model "was a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake"
In what must have been a far-reaching conversation, Reuss hinted at a number of new products for many GM brands, including "a much more beautiful Panamera" range-topper for Buick (which sounds a bit like the line of reasoning the TriShield brand has been pursuing with its Riviera concepts) and a "Ford Transit Connect-fighter" to supplant the recently announced badge-engineered Chevy City Express from Nissan.
Hyundai, Buick dealer apologize in wake of Chinese baby social media incident
Sat, 09 Mar 2013A very strange story out of China today, as Hyundai and a Chinese Buick dealer were forced to face allegations of using allusions to an infamous child murder on a social media site as a way of promoting the safety features of their respective vehicles.
The original sad tale goes something like this: On March 4, a man reported to police that he had left his infant child in a running Toyota RAV4 while he ran into a supermarket briefly. When he came back out, the vehicle and the child were gone. Later in the week a suspect turned himself in to the police; confessing to them that he had stolen a sport-utility vehicle, strangled the infant that was in it, and then buried the child in the snow.
As you might imagine, the gristly incident was covered massively in the Chinese media. (There was huge public outcry as well, as evidenced by the vigil scene, above.) "Changchun baby abduction" was very quickly amongst the highest ranking search teams of the China's Weibo social media site - an equivalent of Twitter in the English-speaking world.
