1969 Buick Riviera Gs 2-door Hardtop 455ci Resto-mod on 2040-cars

This is a spectacular and incomparable resto-mod version of a rare classic that offers a unique blend of luxury and exhilarating performance.  It is a 2 owner car that was purchased in 1993 from the original owner, who gave it only the best of care and kept meticulous records throughout his ownership (Protect-O-Plate, window sticker and dealer invoice come with car).  It is equipped with every available option except cruise control, and even has a specially ordered front bench seat and cornering lights.  Of the 50,000 Rivieras made in 1969, only about 10%, or 5,000, were ordered with the GS option, which included a heavy duty suspension, performance axle (3.42) and posi-traction.  The original 430ci engine has been replaced with a 455ci Buick engine that produces 507HP/540 ft-lbs of torque and runs on 93 octane gas.
