Nice looking car but hopefully everyone knows better than to lift these cars at the pinch welds.  Last picture if you open the eBay link.

The car belongs (belonged) to an ROA member. Anyone recognize it?

Think about the location of the nearest body mount.

Is anyone nearby this seller? Looks very interesting but obviously risky for me being so far away of nor verified, checked etc....

 

Ed, yes it would be good to know the ROA member history.

This is the first Riv GS I ever saw in person, that was back in the `80`s. I messaged the owner to arrange an inspection as I am interested as a buyer but after providing my phone number in 2 messages he has not called?? Perhaps he will respond before the auction is over,

Hmm. Interesting there's no reply, Tom...

Open the ROA roster from the website and sort by ZIP code.  Look for a guy named Joe who lives in M. Pleasant, IL.  (Probably only one member in Mt. Pleasant.) Give him a call.

Tom,

 

Did you ever reach the owner and get to check out the car?

relisted, with ad updated to say it is a factory silver car with a repaint in black in 79, and new (non correct?) wheels in 2013.  

 

The car has never been restored; ALL original except car was painted Black in 1979 originally Silver, in 06 after being in storage spent over 4K to get her running in top form.then adding the red line tires and new Buick wheels in 2013.  The paint shows a great shine but there are some scratches and minor cracks. The car will need a heater core and the carpet is not the best.  There is a small exhaust manifold lead (very common on these cars)
