$29,330

Vernon, New York

You are viewing a very rare 1972 Buick Riviera GS with a Stage 1 455 cubic inch V8 (confirmed in person by a National Riviera judge). I will be adding more photographs and information (I have all receipts dating back to March of 1976) in the next few days. I will also tell the full story of how I acquired this beautiful car, simply because it is one of the funniest and at points most unbelievable tales of automotive coincidence and good fortune I've ever heard, let alone been part of. Its a story I will be telling for years to come, and you'll understand why when you've heard it. So please check back in. I decided to post my car in this gradual way because I've had many, many people show interest in the car due to its condition, rarity and documentation, but I haven't had a chance yet to take all the photographs or to properly put down on paper the full story of how she became mine. I have a few other cars for sale at the moment and in each listing I mention that I still have several other cars to sell. A number of members have asked about the cars I haven't yet listed, and of all of them my Riviera is the one they all want to see. So I've decided to list it sooner than expected. Capricious New York weather has not cooperated for getting the car out of the garage, but the next several days look promising enough that I should be able to provide a nice look at the interior, engine and trunk by Friday or Saturday, October 31st/November 1st. So please check back in and throughout the weekend and into next week. And again, my apologies for the inconvenience. I have owned and collected classic cars for the last 26 years, beginning with the 1969 Dodge Charger I bought when I was sixteen, and which I still own today. I still own my 2nd car as well, a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, which I drove from my senior year in high school through to my second year of graduate school in the department of English at the University of Central Florida in Winter Park, FL. So my passion for classic cars -- and especially Mopars -- has been a lifelong pursuit and is about the most fun I can imagine having. I am an Oxford-educated motorhead that's been car crazy since bell bottoms were in style the first time around. And because I love to find, own, drive and collect all kinds of classic cars, there comes a point when I have to sell a few of them to keep my collection manageable, or else they all don't get exercised like they should. This is one of those times. My collection has expanded to about two dozen cars, when really, if I am totally honest with myself, I should get it down to about twelve so that I have the time to drive and enjoy them all. I am a firm believer that cars should and need to be driven. And when I can't drive them all enough, I go through the painful process of letting a few of them go on to new owners that will hopefully get out there and drive them more than I have time to. This is the reason I am proudly offering my 1972 Buick Riviera GS for sale to its next proud owner. Both the engine and transmission have been rebuilt during its lifetime and both function flawlessly. It is an extremely strong-running and powerful car, with the GS upgrades giving an extra punch to that big 455 V8. This Riviera is an extremely original example of one of the most stunning designs in automotive history. I've included a link to about 200 additional photos and, as I said earlier, I will be adding more when the opportunity arises, so please stay tuned. https://www.flickr.com/photos/97286492@N06/sets/72157648937416985/
