This rare, first year of production, 3rd generation Buick Riviera features the desirable Boattail styling and louvered boot lid. Retaining its original 455 cubic inch (7,456cc) big block motor with floor shift automatic transmission the car runs and drives very well. Sold new in Texas, USA, where it had 2 owners prior to the current owner. During the enthusiast ownership the car has been stripped, repainted, retrimmed and a new clutch has been installed. Imported into the UK earlier this year the registration application to the DVLA is underway. All UK taxes have been paid. Offered with copy Texas title and two sets of keys. A nicely restored example ready to be enjoyed by the fortunate new owner. Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click here
