71boattail's 1971 Buick Riviera


Here it is. You will never see one like this because this car has about 70 hours of custom work on it including paint job, grill, and the front bumper. It also has a nice airbag suspension. This car is loaded it has all the bells and whistles that were offered at the time. It is not a GS though, it has the standard Riviera engine, still 315 horsepower. The facts to the left are correct and were grabbed off of a website in my links section. 71 was definately the best year of the Riviera. It had the most power and the best looks. Here is some other facts about it.

Engine: 455-4 V8
Compression: 8,5:1
Carburation: 4-barrel
Transmission: Riviera: 3-speed Turbo Hydra-matic 400 automatic transmission.

The Buick Mag rally wheels don't look as cool as these do! Based off of a popular design, they have a different backspacing.
