1973 Buick Riviera Boat Tail 455 Big Block Original Survivor 1971, 1972 on 2040-cars
Rockford, Michigan, United States
1973 Buick Boat Tail Riviera This is A very nice un-restored survivor. It had one repaint in 1988 I am the third owner. The retired gentleman I purchased the car from had known the original owner and the car since it was new It was stored in a garage for 20 years before the second owner purchased it Body panels are straight and rust Free. All sheet metal is original to the car. The grille and front header were replaced in April 1988 due to a deer accent. The car by that time had other paint flaws but no rust so the owner had the full car repainted as he wanted it all to match perfect It was repainted in the original color "Autumn Gold" lacquer paint. GM named this gold but the car is more of a medium green/gold Interior is extremely nice and original. Rare sport interior with console shift. Included is a very rare dealer installed still Working Buick CB radio with antenna in trunk. The carpet appears to have been replaced along with the lap belts All four power windows function. All gauges and lights working. Clock not working The Car has the original 455 V8 and runs and drives well. No engine noise or knocks. It appears every thing under the hood it there including the original and working well air conditioning. Very clean engine and engine compartment. I drove the car in 83 degrees Fahrenheit the day I took the photos and was driving in cool comfort. Transmission shifts well Under body, frame and floors very solid with no holes and only light surface rust The previous owner recently drove the car from Michigan to California and back. On that long drive the car did blow the front passenger side tire and the belts thrashed the fender paint. Please scroll down to see pics. As a result he had new Hankook whitewall tires put on all four corners He also had the dual exhaust and mufflers replaced. The tail pipes from mufflers to bumper were not replaced If you have been closely watching the vintage/classic car market lately, then you will know that un-restored cars can sell for higher prices than completely restored cars. This could be a great investment. With prices of 1960's Rivieras rising, this normally over time will drive the price up of the more affordable early 70's models. A great opportunity to put your money into something you can see, feel and enjoy versus watching your money go down in the stock market or only making .5 percent in CD your money market account I am an honest seller and have sold other vintage cars on ebay and all buyers had no complaints. I have included tons of photos. Make sure to scroll all the way down. I have many more photos posted in listing than the 24 the ebay allows to post for free. Car is available to worldwide buyers. Please see below some trusted third part international shipping services that can handle all the paperwork and shipping to get the car to you |

Buick Avenir Concept saunters into Detroit [w/video]
Mon, Jan 12 2015We'd never accuse the most recent crop of Buicks of being ugly. Then again, we'd also never argue that they're overly pretty. Instead, they waltz along a middle ground, not standing out while not causing offense. The Buick Avenir Concept occupies no such middle ground – it's gorgeous. A long hood and a short deck fit well with an evolved form of Buick's long-running design language, while traditional highlights such as the waterfall grille and portholes mingle nicely with newer touches, like a beautiful, curvaceous set of rear haunches that bleed into the rear decklid. The cabin, meanwhile, is solidly in the concept realm, with a prominent 12-inch touchscreen as its centerpiece. Like the exterior, the Avenir's cabin is an evolution of current Buick designs, with a curve that tops the dash and feeds into the doors. A higher center console is finished in buffed wood, although the majority of the interior materials appear to be fine leather. Check out our gallery of live images of the new Avenir, at the Buick stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Show full PR text Buick Explores Future with Avenir Concept New design proportion, device integration, rejuvenating interior push brand forward DETROIT – Buick introduced the Avenir concept today in advance of the North American International Auto Show – a flagship sedan exploring progressive design with new levels of passenger well-being and technology integration. The Avenir – French for future – is distinguished by its premium sports proportions and all-new interpretations of traditional Buick cues. It is the creation of a global team of Buick designers and sculptors who were inspired by historic Buick concepts, which pushed traditional boundaries, shaped future Buick models and influenced the entire auto industry. "Avenir embodies Buick design, which centers on effortless beauty and presence without pretense," said Ed Welburn, vice president of General Motors Global Design. "It demonstrates the growing international reach of Buick and offers an exciting vision of where it can go." The Avenir's sculptural surfacing, expressive proportion and Buick's signature sweep-spear bodyside visually cue an exceptional driving experience that awaits inside. "The interior is designed with the driver and passengers' comfort and well-being in mind," said Welburn.
Jay Leno recaps Pebble Beach
Wed, Sep 30 2015Each year at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance the picturesque, ocean-side setting of the golf course becomes a parking lot for a vast array of multi-million dollar vehicles. However, if you missed the posh event this year, then Jay Leno has you covered yet again. For a nearly hour-long installment of Jay Leno's Garage, the comedian has dumped his denim in favor of a suit to take viewers on an insider tour of the lavish gathering. He interviewed some of the most talented designers in the auto industry, too. Leno starts off checking out a few beautiful classics by the shore, but things really get interesting for his stroll down the Concept Car Lawn for a scoop on the vehicles of tomorrow. Ed Welburn tells Leno all about the Buick Avenir, and Shiro Nakamura offers a tour of the Infiniti Q60. Plus, there are detailed looks at the Lincoln Continental, Hyundai Vision G Coupe, and Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met
Sat, May 9 2015After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
