About my Riviera

1971 Riviera GS / This is a big car that doesn't drive big. It handles well with it's GS suspension package, stock 3:42 positraction, stock disc brakes and fast ratio steering. The carb is the stock specially tuned quadrajet, which I favor, combined with an edelbrock intake, forged pistons, higher lift camshaft.
The Rivee has gobs of power and is a "sleeper"! It sports a magnaflow exhaust for a deep low sound. It has all the factory loaded options.
I did all the mechanical work on the car personally and painted the car myself in my garage, putting in 250 hours, using a DUPONT basecoat/clearcoat, in the factory color of arctic-white.
Hope you enjoy the view of this unique and great car. I do everyday!

This car is sweet. I've always loved the styling of these Rivs. Especially the back end. 70's cars are definitely picking up in popularity as musclecars become rich men's toys. It's always cool to be different anyway. If I see another 68 or 69 Camaro or Chevelle I think I'll yak!

A fellow full-size Buick owner, what can I say, always loved the 70s Rivs!
