since the motor of this car has not been replace or really even tuned for ever it needs some work, but it still runs and sounds great. the motor is coming out this winter when i get back from basic traing to be gone through and restore it, the car paint will be done HOPEFULLY next summer....

Hey Tyler - I like seeing young guys with an interest in fine cars.
If that paint is original Id just do a buff and touchups if it solid retains the most value - orignal colour is always best in my book, but if you dont like what you have go with another Riv colour at least.
Come check out my 71 Rivvy - just put fresh vintage red (original colour for my car) its poly acrylic just like from the factory - very expensive to this it cost more than I paid for the car and I did most of the work.

Hi Tyler: Good luck with your Riviera. I Have a 72 survivor. I put about 50 miles a year on it. I would hesitate to call it a muscle car, its more like a personal luxury car. Boy does it get the looks. Check out mine.

nice boattail. If you are interested, there is an organization called The R.O.A. (Riviera Owners Association). They have thousands of members. check it out: www.rivowners.org

gorgeous riv, i really like the deep creamy colour it is now, but if your going to paint it, i would probably go with that original pea green in your poll, i think mines that pea green your talking bout, check it out
