- Exceptional original Riviera. I just don't understand why none of the other people that looked at this car didn't buy it. As soon as I saw it, I had no doubt that I was taking it home. Finding cars this age and condition just doesn't happen often these days. Enjoy the short video. NO IT IS NOT FOR SALE
Fun stuff, Rodney! Thank goodness you are a caretaker for this vehicle.
more beautiful than anything in 2020
Nice find! Pretty. Previous owner took good care.
I would say 1970 is the last year for this body style. Others did not buy it because it does not have A/C.
1970 was the last year of this body style. 1971 brought us the famous boat tail Riv.
Yes you're correct. But they disguise that 1970 just enough so you have to look at it for a while to figure out what it was they changed.
I love this car so much.
That's my dream car!
She's a BEAUTY 😍
This is a really niiiice car buick made yes it had a 401, 425, 430 n 455.
Whenever someone expresses wonder that a car was slow to sell - this is just the marketplace in action. Most buyers are not stuck on a specific car, they are looking at a lot of different cars and deciding which offers the best value for the money. You may not agree, but most buyers want the bucket seat interior and a/c. Also, the aftermarket 8 track and speakers in the door panels are a deduction in value for many buyers. My guess is this car was higher in asking price based on no rust, lower mikes, original paint - and other prospective buyers thought other cars were a better value
I had a 63,GS , a 66 GS , a 68GS and a 69 GS
Sorry Rod, junk aftermarket 8 track. It prolly wasn't offered with indash 8 track until 1974ish, but underdash, hanging way down! Too bad the dash was prolly cut up for the radio, and the rear shelf and door panels. Similar damage to my '66 Toronado
Stunning Riviera🇺🇸😎
every car was beautiful in '69
I had a 1967 Rivera GS.
Headlights are vacuum controlled, not electric. Unless he converted.
Actually the 1970 Riviera is the last model year of this body style...but without hideaway headlights and with fender skirts. This example is in Verde Green and this model year was the best selling with 52,872 units. Perhaps this example was slow selling because the color is unusual and it is low-spec without the desired options. Also, the earlier 1966 and 1967 models are more collectible. The 1963 - 1965 Rivieras are off the chart collectible but the Thunderbird of those years is still my favorite.
1970 Riviera is a different car. They put rear skirts on it and added the long wide trim on each side. I thinking the Riv crowd will agree, 1970 is a one-year only design. True, no bucket seats or A/C is not what is expected, but the rest of the car says it all.. Thanks for watching!
@@rodneyracer It is true that it is a heavy restyle but the 1971 Riviera actually had the new design with a different wheelbase and cowl. The 1968 and 1969 were heavily restyled with different front and rear ends than the 1966 and 1967 models.
I would have thought a Riviera would have come standard with all options available manual roll up windows on a luxury car what was gm thinking?
is that hickok45 behind the camera?
More burnouts please. This car wants to do burnouts.
Stock, factory, in-dash 8-track? I think not.
My dad got this car
I guess it doesn't turn on
