Chimera Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) (not mine) You want to own a little-bit of Americana?! How about a Red White and Blue stage 1 GS 73!? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Buick-Riviera-Stage-1-GS/302555450999?hash=item4671b5ce77:g:nA4AAOSwBRFaJxm4&vxp=mtr Edited December 7, 2017 by Chimera (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Try this link for direct to listing https://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Buick-Riviera-Stage-1-GS/302555450999?hash=item4671b5ce77:g:nA4AAOSwBRFaJxm4&vxp=mtr Very odd color combo which I think will hold it back. I like the exterior colors but the red interior with it not at all. There are some things that would make me hesitate on this one like the odd VIN decal on driver door and the blue engine for starters and of course a Minnesota car so rust and bondo is concern. DEFINITELY would have to inspect in person. Look close at pics. This car needs work in MANY areas. It does look like a legit Stage 1 though.

Chimera Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Good points Jason. I changed the link. Certainly an unusual 73. Maybe the combo is not factory original, but if it is....wow. Maybe a military veteran? hehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 As a veteran, I'd probably want it OD green or camouflage. Maybe he wanted a blue car, his kids wanted a red car, and his wife wanted a white one. Kept the whole family happy. But I'll bet if it did come from the factory that way, red interior was not one of the suggested interior colors for a blue exterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 How about white black and blue then? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Buick-Riviera/263373313661?hash=item3d5245d67d:g:OAwAAOSwvTpZ7ih3&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivman Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 How about this one ... 1971 Buick Riviera GS 63k Original, Always Garaged. Not an unusual color combination or anything, but, I'm not too sure they really want to sell it with a starting bid of $37,500? It does look nice but all I can say is WOW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivgs Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 If someone is interested in the 73, I can check it out for you. As Jason said, the color scheme does leave something to be desired but you will stand out at a car show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I had the discussion about these "Circus Wagon" color combinations on later cars. We agreed that they are colors common on Art Deco show cars of the 1920's and '30's. Adding a few decades and some wealth to a boy who grew up with those early show cars can get those combinations. In 1963 I fell in love with the Mercury Heritage Burgundy color. I have painted two brown Rivieras that color or similar because of it. Luckily, being a product of later years, the circus wagon didn't do it for me, well, maybe Frank Cannon's Mark IV. But I do, fondly, remember a tangerine color GS that the factory sent around to shows, maybe 1971. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
