As I write this, it's been bid up to $20,600 in two days, but hasn't met the reserve. If the car is really loaded, why not include a full scan of the window sticker? When I squint, I believe I can see C2 Max Trac, D4 Sonomatic AM-FM stereo radio with dual front and rear speakers, F1 whitewall tires, G4 positive traction differential, H2 firm ride and handling, I6 manual air conditioner, I7 heavy duty cooling, O4 door edge guards, P1 carpet savers and handy mats, R1 power windows, T3 electric door and seat locks, U5 sun shade map light, V2 chrome plated wheels, custom vinyl roof covering, and custom trim. Car has been listed several times on ebay over the last year, IIRC he bought it about a year or so ago, I would have to check my emails, as I was in correspondence with previous owner. Current owner switched it from Deluxe bench seat to Standard buckets and console, but left rest of interior as Deluxe. Perhaps that is why he isn't posting window sticker? That being said, it is a very nice car, and I actually prefer the standard buckets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 It's missing the biggest, IMHO, part of the GS package for the 67 - the Starwars Aircleaner. And, according to the 'How to ID a Gran Sport' article on the website, the GS did not have chrome valve covers. But lots of other hard to identify pieces.

Pat Curran Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Not a big market at all. Streetside has had this car for a while now. It is in beautiful shape with low miles and probably one of the nicest ones of this generation to be found. They were not a sales success when new. This would have to appeal to the right buyer for this car to sell at the current asking price. A comfortable cruiser for sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3Studio Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 3 minutes ago, Pat Curran said: They were not a sales success when new. True that. For all of the "controversial" (Buick's words in their 75th anniversary brochure) looks of the boat tail, the following generation only averaged 19,200 a year over their three years in production. The boat tail had averaged 33,900 a year over it's three year period. Fourth generation sales (or the lack thereof) were a big bowl of not good as everybody else (Eldorado, Thunderbird, Mark, Toronado) in the market enjoyed substantially higher sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 If you'll look at the Electra and Lesabre for the years 74 through 78, youll not see much difference in styling from the Riviera. Hard to tell which is which from a distance or in passing. No real 'Riviera' appeal so why spend the extra bucks. Riviera sales went up drastically with the formal roof line of the 79 through 85 models, then totally tanked with the intro of the smaller 86 models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car lost its individuality during these years. The third brake light under the rear windows of the 74-76 look tacked on. At least with the Toronado, they were nicely integrated into the overall design of the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of my overriding thesis for all the Riviera years—when their exterior design was differentiating (even if it was polarizing), the cars generally sold well or at least competitively with the overall market. When it wasn't, they sold poorly. Edited April 26, 2019 by j3studio (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was driven home to Southern California. Cruised along at 70/80 like riding on a cloud. Has the most powerful Buick engine offered, 375 h.p. with 510 lbs feet of torque. The interior is white leather with bucket seats in front, no rips or broken threads and “like new” carpeting and floor mats. I am told that the console with shifter and the color combination is rare. The car was repainted when the passenger side door was dented in a parking lot. I located a replacement door so no “bondo was” used. The springs and shocks were replaced at that time and the vinyl roof removed. It was not a daily driver and kept at our vacation home beginning 2005. In 2013 it was parked because the (original)engine started using a quart of oil every 100 miles. Engine never made a sound, transmission seals started to leak (but performed fine), air conditioning was cold, etc. She has sat lonely ever since as I had several cars. Car is equipped with a Kenwood stereo system with CD and the original 8 track system, FACTORY assembly manual, owner’s manual and other accessories are included. Tires hold air but need replacement.

RivNut Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Well I guess it's time to get nit picky. One thing that stands out that is the console; it should be covered in black vinyl. It has an aftermarket radio so who knows where the additional speakers are. The fan shroud is missing and don't even consider the extra wheels. They're for a Skylark - wrong bolt pattern. Next.
