MrEarl Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Seller's Description I have a 1972 Buick Riviera GS for sale. It has the factory 455ci engine with 74,000 miles. The car was my dad's and he passed away 25 years ago so it's currently sitting at my grandpa's house in YORK, SC. It's been sitting since April 1995. The body is pretty straight nothing major. Gonna need a windshield and some trim and a very good cleaning. I don't have a title or the key to the car. I would like to sell the car as a whole for $2000 firm. it's about 50 yards behind my papas house in YORK, SC. There is a path to get to it but is soft ground to get to. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Is it common in YORK, SC to to park a decedent's car over his grave in the cemetery, or to bury your relatives behind your grandpa's house in YORK, SC? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe we should start Buick and Graves thread. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a 71 Buick 455 in it when I was 17 and gave Fox Body Mustangs a fit as a teenager in the early 90’s. Not really a notable classic but something very important to me. My great grandad sold Buick’s from 1920 to 1965 and I’m a Buick fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I had a ‘70 455, ‘67 switch pitch ST400, that I was going to put into a really nice “granny”* 83 Regal. I was looking for a stout rear end when my stepson wrecked the regal. 😩. * light blue with a dark blue landau vinyl top. I came up with some 15” wheels and wire wheel covers and a set of white sidewall tires. Thought I could make a nice sleeper out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted it with DuPont Centari single stage in shop class. The paint code was 99A pitch black at $35 a gallon we live in a different world nowadays. I sprayed this when I was 15 using money from mowing grass. Edited July 11, 2021 by BobinVirginia (see edit history) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to upgrade the front springs to accomodate the 455? What about the rear axle? I image you had to change the gears at least? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol It currently has a posi rear from an 86 T-type that had been totaled. The Buick 455 is pretty light and I was more interested in straight line performance. I just added a couple rubber spring spacers to give it a bit more spring rate. Truthfully it needs Springs. The 78’s first year had a lighter spindle too, if memory serves? I’ve not driven it since 2005 other than on a trailer to move it to storage. It’s sat in the garage stall pictured above since 2008 Fun car and tons of great memories. I made a cool lamp from the camshaft out of the original 3.8 V6 and gave it to Dad Christmas 1995 and it’s still used to this day. Many new lamp shades thanks to my stepmom of course!

BobinVirginia Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) According to my phone photo dates, the last time I opened that garage door was November 2018 and the drips from the garage door dripped on the increasingly thick dust.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Bob, forgive me if I sound critical as that is not my intention. I cannot imagine having a car I have not checked on in almost three years. That would drive me over the edge. I only have one "old" car and a week is too long.
