Car is now sold! I will leave this page up for a little longer, but then it goes bye bye.

This is one of my other rides. My 72 Riviera. It has the original 455/400 set up. It is all stock right now, but it is ready for a re-fit. I'm not going to do anything too drastic to this, maybe a mild custom, different rims, tires, and new carpet along with body work. The classic lines of this car speak for itself and dosen't really need much embelishment. Here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

As you can see the door panels need replacing, and the engine needs cleaning and a repaint, but it runs like a champ. Some of the mods I plan are to bag it, and remove the vinyl top, and trim molding (ugh!) More pics and progress to come...

Hey Jason i almost bought that car from a guy out by Bangor last year. It was a nice car but like one of the guys said that vinyl roof did a job but with a little elbo greese it will be nice.
I just picked up a 72 today i will post pics this week i am also building a 71 Dart with a 440 and a 79 f 100 mud bogger.

Good luck with the resto

Jason; Your Riv is great. It seems that they made more of these cars with vinyl roofs than without. GM must have had a sale that year. In any case watch out for rust at the windshield roof line. The vinyl may have trapped water. My Riv has the same interior as yours.
