1972 Buick Riviera Factory 455 V8 offered by Gas Monkey Garage

1972 Buick Riviera 455 V8 Automatic showing 40,514 miles offered by Gas Monkey Garage! The name Riviera, Latin for coastline, was chosen to evoke the allure and affluence of the French Riviera. The Riviera was radically redesigned for the 1971 model year with flowing and dramatic "boat-tail" styling making this, the third generation, arguably the most desirable Riviera design ever. When I found this really nice example, I was eager to get a closer look at it. What I saw was a very solid, nicely preserved car with a good, glossy finish that shows well having been resprayed at some point in the past. The interior is good condition with nice seats and panels. The dash is in amazing condition. The power windows work and the rear glass is good as well as the windshield. Under side pics reveal a solid chassis with minor superficial rust present on most components. Under hood pics show the factory 455 CID V8 in what appears to be original condition firing to life with a twist of the ignition key. A brief test drive reveals strong acceleration, a solid ride and firm braking. While this car runs and drives well, it will need to be serviced completely before any extended driving to ensure safety and reliability( due to our filming schedule we cannot perform any additional work on this car for you SOLD AS/IS WHERE IS !
