1970 Buick Riviera

The Riviera is a huge cruiser, the last of the powerful Riviera's. This is a running, driving car that is quite ugly due to neglect and poor driving by the original owner. I purchased this car from the daughter of the original owner. The gentleman loved this car. When he passed away, his elderly wife took over but was not a very good driver of this land yacht and it hit something/was hit several times. However, because of the husband's love for the car, the wife would not part with it. After her passing, the daughter decided to sell it. I have promised to return it to it's former glory.

Riviera Plan

Drivetrain:     We'll tidy up the engine bay, replace a broken shroud and remove the wire holding piecestogether and get her back into original shape.

Suspension:     No modifications are expected at this time.

Electrical:     No modifications are expected at this time.

Interior:     New upholstery front and rear, new carpet, new door panels, all in either a saddle or chocolate to complement the paint color.

Paint & Body:Replace the sheet metal banged up in the pic above. Dr. Rear quarter dent will also be new metal. The trunk has rust as is typical on this body style so we'll either replace the trunk lid or repair with new metal. We will not replace the vinyl top and come back with a brown/copper color. We are presently debating a two tone treatment.
