65VerdeGS Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Thanks Gabriel for posting this. Good to see the first-gen Riviera getting appreciation from enthusiasts in Europe. I'm sure that Riv can be a handful to drive on the narrower streets of Switzerland! The featured car has quite a few less common options, including rear defroster and KX dual-quad engine (rarer than a Gran Sport). The video quotes HP and torque figures for this engine wrongly - these should be 360hp and 465 ft.lb. A couple of curiosities: The stainless steel molding at the top of the windshield is missing from the car in the drone shots. In addition to the misaligned clamshells, the car develops a burned-out tailight towards the end of the video. And, the VIN plate on the driver's door pillar is missing! Look at 4:58 of the video. I'm wondering if the exterior color is the original Turquoise Mist. The featured car looks to be a darker shade of blue to me. In all a pretty car. It surely gets a lot of attention in Europe! Adding to the video's appeal is the lovely Swiss scenery and our engaging commentator Mr. Boersma with his James Bond (Sean Connery) like accent! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
