a car like this needs a lot of work , i wanted to have all things working perfect on this car, in the beginning it was running a bit rough,poor brakes,cooling problems, leaking oil,bad transmission etc etc

lots of $$$$$$$$ for shipping parts to europe!
car runs and drive like new,,,,,,better than new!
the only thing i need to do right now are the headergaskets ,,,blown away again for second time. i need to use new bolts instead of the old ones.
like i said before, the allmost stock engine can burn the 295 tires in no time! even on lpg. (liquid propain gas)
thanks to the 450 ohg mixer and the msd. topspeed has been tested on a test-bench and was 130m/h (210km/h) and still rising. we just quit gas, because it was almost at 5000rpm at that time. didnt want to kill the engine just for fun.
the buick riviera is a fantastic car, if you have one, keep it!
repair it, drive it ...burn some rubber!
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((this is with the somewhat smaller 275 tires!!)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
stock tires are 195 i think. i have now 295(on page2)
