I don't know if the 67's had a relay that might be mounted just above the emergency brake mechanism. My powers windows on my 71 stopped working and it was the relay. this is what it looks like. Robert Bonto

Check Hankook optima or Nexen. Both make whitewalls that are 1 inch. I've been running the Hankook's on my 71 since Oct 2016. Been very happy with them. Robert Bonto

The doors are the same 71-73. Fenders & trunk lids are different in 73. Robert Bonto

I have to agree 100% with Tom T. 134 will never get as cold as a fully functioning R-12 system. That has been proven beyond a doubt. Robert Bonto

Rodney, if he has the trim kit for 60/40 seats, then he will have to find 60/40 seats from a 72 or 43. Bob Bonto

No 60/40 seats in71 only straight bench or buckets. 72 had 60/40 seats. Bob Bonto

This car is a fake, it does not have the orginal 71 TA engine. It has a standard 72. It was put together from another car. Vanguard sold this car a couple years ago to some unsuspecting person. It has been bought & sold many times as when someone finds out what it really is, they dump it. IMO Vanguard loves selling fakes for mega $$$. Now once again, they are trying to resell it for mega $$$$$. Bob Bonto

I have attached a picture from my 71 GS that is all original. As you can see the type of factory screws that attach the data plate. They were not riveted From looking at the picture you sent, the screws are not factory correct. The paint code is 18 which should be charcoal mist. Now according to the production #'s 565 72 Riv's were painted black code #19. You state the vin has a "W" in the vin, but the seller has not provided you the engine code. The engine code for 72 GS should be "WA". I also noticed the engine appears to be black when it should be red. Someone has also messed with the fuel line as I see a separate fuel filter, but no fuel line. I'm surprised that no one caught that the front bumper is from a 71 as the 72's had the white rubber strip. IMO, there appears to be many discrepancies, that the seller may be trying to sell you a fake GS. Being that you live in Europe, I would hate for you to get scammed.

If you do not have a factory service manual, here is a link to the 71 Factory manual. As everyone has stated, it is not necessary to remove the distributor to replace the points. http://www.buick-riviera.com/servicemanual.html Bob Bonto

Neither, the trunk had an insulation pad that was covered in black felt, taillights had black cardboard panels. https://www.ebay.com/itm/175425215380?hash=item28d8285b94:g:bBsAAOSwM~5jK41r Robert Bonto
