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 really wants us to know the new Cascada convertible won't leak
Thu, Apr 16 2015Quality testing on the factory floor is nothing to joke about. Automakers need to make sure the work being done is up to snuff, and that means some extensive checks. For Buick, that means using a lot of water for each of its Cascada convertibles. Each vehicle that rolls off the floor is subject to a high-pressure, ten-minute soaking that sprays nearly 20 gallons of water from each nozzle during every bath, just to guarantee the fabric roof hasn't sprung any leaks. For some reason, Buick has chosen to show off this testing with the help of what we imagine is the Gorton's Fisherman's baby cousin. Check out the strange testing video, available up top.
Buick Avista concept is 'buildable', but not a priority
Tue, Mar 22 2016Buick could build the striking Avista concept that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, though it's not a top priority, the brand's top executive said Tuesday in New York. "The reaction's been so great, we'll try to run the numbers and see if there's a business case," said Duncan Aldred, Buick vice president of sales, service, and marketing. Buick will show the Avista in red this week at the New York Auto Show as a followup to its Detroit debut. Buick actually built two prototypes, which are being used to promote the brand's performance potential at auto shows around the world this year. "It's very buildable," Aldred told reporters after the reveal of the reveal of the 2017 Encore small crossover before the New York Auto Show. "Ultimately, it comes down to priorities." He added, "We'd love to do it. We could do it, but [there's] lots of things we'd love to do... Nothing to confirm or deny." The Avista concept suggests a sports car with a twin-turbo V6 with 400 horsepower put to the rear wheels. The two-door followed another impressive Buick concept, the Avenir, which was four-door styling exercise from the 2015 Detroit show. Though the Avista remains on the minds of enthusiasts – helped in part by Buick – the priorities for the brand are crossovers. The Avista offers style, but the freshened Encore is the substance for Buick in New York, which along with the Envision, launches this year into the red-hot utility segment. The new Cascada convertible and redesigned LaCrosse also are joining Buick's lineup this year. While the Avista is doable, the brand clearly has other priorities ahead of it. Related Video:
GM recalling 2013 Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX over transmission software
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued recalls for the 2013 Buick LaCrosse and 2013 Cadillac SRX due to a problem with the software for the transmission controller. On about 27,000 SRX and LaCrosse models, the transmission could accidentally be shifted to Sport mode, which would reduce the amount of engine braking drivers experience.
NHTSA says this could increase the risk of a crash, but, fortunately, the required fix is simply an update to the software.
While we're on the subject of General Motors vehicle recalls, a small number (48) of compressed natural gas versions of the 2011 Chevrolet Express are also being recalled for a potential risk of fire or explosion. Yikes. Both official recall notices are posted below.
