1970 Buick Riviera With Riviera Gs Parts Car on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
|
I am selling this running, driving 1970 Riviera at no reserve. Included with it is a 1970 Riviera GS which is complete except for its engine and transmission. Both cars have open Tennessee titles. The car pictured is the primary vehicle. Green with green vinyl top and either very dark green or black bench seat interior in poor condition. Absolutely stock and unmolested. Only slight rust, the worst being in the floors and the fender skirts. Stock engine with original air cleaner with stickers still attached. Excellent set of matching bias-ply whitewalls just recently installed. The chrome wheels from the GS parts car are currently on this car. Starts right up and runs good. Moves and stops but I have only driven it up and down the street. A restoration project but certainly a realistic one. The only odd thing about it is that it has an electric fuel pump for whatever reason that is turned on and off by a toggle switch which just lays on the floor. Works great, but not right. This car has its original owner's manual, pre-delivery sheet, new vehicle warranty booklet, accessory pamphlet, stereo booklet, and Protect-O-Plate. Sold new out of Bristol, Virginia. This is a great-looking and rarely seen old car that deserves to be restored.
The parts car is a 1970 Riviera GS that is complete minus engine and transmission. It has bucket seats, console, tilt wheel, and even an original Buick 8-track tape player. Has a title. All glass is good and all trim is there. Floors are decent. Paint is nonexistent. All in one piece - not boxes of parts. Its chrome wheels are on the green car and the original Riviera hubcaps are on it now. Has the original posi-traction rear end which I have been offered $500 for by itself but wouldn't take it. In this deal you get two cars. The idea is to make a really cool Riviera GS and have a ton of valuable parts left over. The only things missing are the center caps for the chrome wheels. I only have one. Almost everything else is there in duplicate. The interiors of both cars are weak but salvageable. The green car is stored inside my garage and has been for several years. The parts car is under cover and out of the weather but obviously has been outside for a long time previously. I do not think you should even consider driving the green car home as it has not been on the road in many years. The paint looks better in the pictures than it does in person as I had just washed the dust off it and it is still wet in the photos. The paint is not very good. These are remarkably styled cars that you just don't see every day. Great documentation on the green car and titles for both. Lots of spare parts. A GS car with all the GS goodies! I need to move these cars and I will listen to any offer you may have. I am interested in old motorcycles and will consider any schemes you might have for you to get these Buicks in exchange for an interesting bike or two you might have laying around. Let me know. You can reach me by return email or call or text me at 865-387-0925 if you have questions or if you have swapping ideas. |

eBay Find Of The Day: 1946 Tucker Torpedo Prototype II hides a secret Riviera
Thu, 10 Jul 2014The Tucker Torpedo is one of the great what-if stories of automotive history. Preston Tucker hoped to revolutionize the industry with a car unlike any other on the road at the time. However, due to a variety of problems, he only managed build 51 vehicles before closing shop. Over time, they have become highly sought-after; In 2012, one sold for $2.65 million at auction.
That brings us to this Tucker "replica" that you see above because it might be one of the ugliest monstrosities ever put together. However, we might extend some leniency to the creator, as the vehicle isn't actually trying to replicate the classic look of the 1948 Tucker Torpedo. Instead, it is attempting to reproduce an earlier prototype from 1946 that actually features that weird, trident nose. According to the seller, his uncle built the car as a labor of love and supposedly used actual plans from Tucker as inspiration.
Underneath all of the crazy changes is a 1971 Buick Riviera powered by a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) Buick V8. Some of the replica's odder modifications include the front fenders that turn with the wheels and the fin running down the back. All three headlights work, but the one in the middle is only for the high beams. Oddly, the small hinged sections on the roof are meant to open to avoid hitting your head when getting in or out. Maybe the seller's uncle was a very tall guy?
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
