I'm the third owner of this well taken care of original Riv.  I inherited the vehicle in 2012 and contemplated building a pro touring car.  However, that has never materialized and the wife wants her garage spot.  This Buick is in good mechanical condition, runs well and does get a lot of compliments when I take her out.  I have heard several stories of one's parents owning one and them remembering how much fun it was to drive around.  It's becoming a rarity to see these, I believe a significant number of them have been used for demo derby's or met their fate at the wrecking yard for scrap money.  This would make an excellent base for building a cool and unique custom or could easily be driven as is for a daily if one were to prefer. 

The Good:  Runs and drives well, the seats are really comfortable to sit in, interior is in really nice condition, maintenance as far as belts, hoses, spark plugs, tires, brakes, fuel lines have all been kept up with.  All original, unmolested 1975 with low mileage that would be outstanding with a new paint job. Pretty much loaded with all available features.

The Bad:  To me personally the paint is old and faded in areas, minor dings, surface oxidation and areas that need touched up.  Rear bumper fillers were falling apart and removed (brackets & nuts retained).  Trim for Landau top around the side windows doesn't look that great (retained and in the trunk). Vacuum controlled diaphragm that controls heat temperature not fully actuating (On cold setting it is still warm).  8 Track player only plays through one speaker.

The Details:  Original Car Invoice, Warranty, Owner manual and consumer information Included along with the GM Factory production order - chassis - paint.  Purchased new on 6/22/1976, model "4Z87T" with the following options: AM-FM Stereo Radio-Tape, Pwr Antenna, Whitewall tires, Positive Traction Differential, A/C, Cornering lights, Speed Alert Trip odometer, Pulsating wipers, tinted glass, Electric rear window defogger, Four note horn, rear bumper guards, door guards, sport mirrors remote control R & L, Carpet Mavers? & Handy Mats, Pwr Seat 6 way, Door courtesy & Warning lamps, Lamp monitors front & rear, cruise master, electric trunk release, electric door & seat locks, lighted mirror, chrome wheels, protective moldings body side, accent stripes, trunk trim carpet, sun roof - electric, Special GM Paint, Landau Top, Custom Leather Trim.  Color - Canary Yellow w/Black Vinyl Top.  Trim - 968 (From my research the black leather was not an available option). 

Production Order is from the factory and includes detailed information regarding the production line number, body serial #, Model info, sheet metal, wheel, Fan, options, exh, tires, axle, engine, speedo, trans, springs, shocks, frame, pulleys, belts, wiring harness, paint and the internal vehicle identification.

As is this is a fun car to cruise around in, it has an expansive interior and with the sunroof open and the windows down it is just a fun vehicle to drive.  I wish I had a pole barn to store this in to get it out of the garage but I don't so I hope it can go to a good new home.  Let me know if you have any questions I may not have answered.  Thanks for the interest.

Buick will cease using ‘Buick’ badge on vehicles from 2019

Mon, Mar 12 2018

GM Authority recognized that the recently unveiled 2019 Buick Envision is missing something: a " Buick" badge on the left side of the tailgate. Every other vehicle the carmaker sells features that script, but not the new mid-sized crossover. When the site asked about the omission, "representatives recently told GM Authority that Buick will stop using the brand badge on the rear of its vehicles, starting with the 2019 model year." The only identifiers that will remain are the three-color Tri Shield logo and the model nameplate, i.e., "Envision" or " Regal." It's a bold game for a mass-market major automaker, though Audi, Hyundai and Volkswagen follow the same trend. Even Bugatti, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Aston Martin affix their brand names to their vehicles within company icons or on brake calipers, albeit in small fonts. The coming Continental will wear the word "Bentley" across its trunk, silverware the present Continental does without. Porsche allows customers to delete model designations, but it must be requested. At the other end of the spectrum, the Ford Mustang Bullitt wears zero badges, but the Bullitt is a special edition of a well known model that otherwise advertises its provenance everywhere. Buick plays in hard-fought segments where mass appeal overrules instantly-identifiable design daring. Those kinds of carmakers usually want to take every opportunity to advertise every sale. Remember the last Buick to go without a make badge? The terrifically handsome Buick Avista concept that wore only two Tri Shield logos and its model name on the decklid. Perhaps that gave Buick some ideas. If the carmaker plans to start putting out cars like the Avista, then this move makes perfect sense. Update: A commenter pointed out that Hyundai vehicles don't have "Hyundai" badges, only the "Flying H." We've thought of some other brands/models, too. So Buick has mass-market company.

2019 Buick Envision starts just under $33,000

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Buick has announced that prices for its new 2019 Envision will start at $33,985 (including destination), positioning the refreshed compact SUV right between its best-selling Encore entry-level crossover and more upmarket Enclave and taking aim at competitors including the Lincoln MKC and Acura RDX. The Envision will be offered in five trim levels — Envision, Preferred, Essence, Premium and Premium II, which starts at $45,590 — when the crossover goes on sale this spring. Prices exclude tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. We told you recently about the optional new nine-speed Hydra-Matic 9T50 automatic transmission and 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder on the top two trim levels. The upgraded engine offers 252 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The standard setup remains the 197-hp 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine making 147 lb-ft of torque and mated to a six-speed automatic, offered in front- or all-wheel drive. The crossover gets a new winged Buick emblem on the grille, new headlamps and newly sculpted front and rear facias, plus optional 19-inch wheels. It also gets a Buick-first tire-fill alert that signals when a tire has reached the recommended pressure level. Standard technology features include an in-vehicle air ionizer to eliminate odors, a switch to turn off its fuel-saving engine stop feature, rear-park assist, an 8-inch diagonal infotainment system and 4G LTE WiFi hotspot. By dropping the starting MSRP by nearly $1,000, GM says the Envision is now better positioned against its top-selling Encore (starting MSRP $22,990), for which nearly 60 percent of buyers come from outside the automaker's stable of brands.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses

Thu, Apr 7 2016

May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.
