Up for sale is a ONE OWNER 1971 Buick Riviera Sports Coupe! It needs work. It will run. It has 134,xxx miles. The driver's door is ajar but does close incorrectly. Gas line problems prevent the engine from running consistantly but it will fire up when gas is poured into the 4 bbl carburator on the 455 cid engine. It has set for the past 20 plus years and not been regularly driven. It has the expected rust on the body and inside of the trunk on both sides of the floorboards. I did not completely close the hood because I do not know if the linkage from the interior will function properly and who needs one extra problem when selling a car! There is no battery (I used my trailer battery to start it the other day).
Ok, now that I exposed the bad points of the car, I will detail the good points. The chrome is in great condition, not dented up. The trim pieces are in great condition! The interior is in great condition. The Buick Riviera rally wheels are decent with some surface rust. The car's power seat and windows appear to be working correctly. The tires are old but hold air. The rear window is in great condition. The front window has a minute chip that can be filled. In total, it is an old car that has a lot of potential either as a restoration or as a parts car.
I can be reached at 734-516-9166 if you have any other questions or want to arrange a meeting to inspect the car. It will be advertised in other publications in print and on the web so it just might disappear at any time. I have the original title and stamped metal "vehicle card" along with decades of maintenance history. It cost $5,373.00 new when purchased on Oct 2, 1971, from the Frank McNally Buick dealership in Flushing (Flint) Michigan. It is located in Grand Blanc, Michigan (Flint area).
I do have the means to deliver in an enclosed Car Hauler and will work with you on the cost to deliver it. However, payment is required in advance if I am contracted to make the delivery.

Buick GN and GNX will return
Next Buick Regal to inherit styling cues from Opel Monza concept
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Ever look at a concept car from a foreign auto marque like Opel and wonder what relevance it will have to you as an American consumer? Well, we'll tell you: at least as far as the Opel Monza concept goes, it could mean a lot.
Speaking with Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show, Opel chief Karl-Thomas Neumann said, "You will see the Monza when you see the next Insignia." And the Insignia, we needn't point out, is essentially ported over to American showrooms as the Buick Regal.
The relationship between the Regal and Insignia only stands to grow closer as Opel design chief Mark Adams has also been charged with tightening the bonds between the two automakers positioned on opposite shores of the Atlantic. Adams also intends to imbue the next Insignia with more "premium brand values" in order to "add polish to the brand." Which in turn means that the Regal will be designed to look more upscale, too.
Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
