Numbers Matching 455 V8, Auto, A/C, PS, PB, Awesome Cruiser! Stock #: 3805-DFW Exterior Color: Dark Red Interior Color: Parchment Body Type: Hardtop Transmission: 3 Speed Automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 455 V8 Title Condition: Clear The day of the Riviera has arrived. For those of us who love these cars, we've known for years that machines like this 1970 Buick Riviera have been almost criminally under-valued. That's changing, and once you see the extent of the preservation and quality of the restoration and the long list of features in this gentleman's muscle car, you'll understand why these are very special cars.The Riv was fully redesigned in 1966 and incrementally updated until 1970 when it received a final facelift for the 2nd generation, and there are a great many enthusiasts who believe the '70 is the best-looking of the bunch. Looking at this gorgeous Red coupe (it's not quite Titan Red, but it's close), it's hard to argue. For many years, the values on these cars meant that restorations were rarely done properly and you never saw a big investment. That's definitely not the case here, with laser-straight bodywork, beautiful, higher driver-quality paint with a deep shine, and good panel fit throughout. The work is about three years old so it's no longer perfect, but you're going to have to look pretty hard to see the flaws and touch-ups. The shape is as striking today as it was 50 years ago, conveying a sense of power and competence without resorting to stripes and wings. No, this is a car for grown-ups, but you don't have to be shy to own it, because you're going to get A LOT of attention. The chrome is in good order, with massive bumpers fore and aft, the fender skirts offer a touch of class, and that unique baleen-like front grille is really an awesome design feature for the '70 model.
The beautiful white interior appears to be a combination of preserved and restored components, with the previous owners using correct patterns and materials when they were needed over time, and it's always cool to see buckets and a console in a full-sized luxury car. The dash would set the pace for Buick for the next decade and this car is loaded with options including cold factory A/C (with R134a refrigerant), a tilt wheel, power windows, and that cool speed alert system inside the speedometer. Gauges cover only the basics, so they've added a trio of auxiliary gauges under the dash, just ahead of the middle console. And we have to say this might be the coolest shifter ever. There's an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo that sounds great, and inside the hushed Buick interior (thanks in large part to the contrasting black carpet below), sound quality matters, and there's a custom amplifier and a subwoofer that handles the tunes. Out back, the absolutely cavernous trunk is neatly finished with black carpets and has enough room to accommodate almost any traveler.
That's the original, numbers-matching 455 cubic inch V8 under the hood, which was rated at a very substantial 370 horsepower and a towering 500 pounds of torque. It makes the big Riv feel downright fast, but it's effortlessly smooth under all circumstances and just ignores the drag of things like A/C and power steering. Dante Red paint on the block gives it a traditional Buick look and the proper 'GS 455' decal on the snorkeled air cleaner lets everyone know right away that this Riv can handle itself if it needs to. It appears to be almost entirely stock, including the big Rochester 4-barrel carburetor that replaced the dual quads when the 425-inch V8 was dropped. Factory exhaust manifolds feed a mellow-sounding dual exhaust system which uses chambered mufflers for a factory rumble. The TH400 3-speed automatic transmission was the only option, but you already know it's indestructible, and the beefy 10-bolt rear end houses highway-friendly gears. Note that this car has not spent its life being abused and it looks fantastic sitting on Buick Road Wheels and big 225/75/15 Hankook white-wall radials.
If you've been admiring these cars, now is the time to buy because they won't be getting cheaper. This one stands out and gets everything right, and it's still a fraction of the price of a Chevelle or GTO. Documented with an original Protect-O-Plate, RPO card, and owners manuals, this is the Riv you've been waiting for. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing.

We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing.
