1973 Buick Riviera GS * Only 3,933 Produced!Only 3, Riviera

　　GS models were produced in the last year of the Boattail. Even

　　fewer with the factory sunroof via American Sunroof Company and

　　center console like this all-original survivor. Owned by me since

　　2014, preceded by my dad who had it since the early '80s and sold

　　it to me when he retired and couldn't afford to keep her, since I

　　had made him promise to give me first right of refusal if he ever

　　decided to sell. I have very little documentation from before I

　　took ownership. Odo reads 38,177, but the odo wasn't working when I

　　bought it from him reading 28,931 so I don't know actual mileage.

　　He only drove it on sunny days attested to by its lack of rust

　　other than minor pitting in the taillight trim (none in the huge,

　　perfect bumper!) and the rally wheels.I immediately had to fix both

　　the non-functional the odo and the gas gauge just to know when I'd

　　run out of gas (and once fixed I was excited to see it has a little

　　red grain-of-wheat bulb that illuminates for low fuel

　　condition--how modern for '73)!Dad had the half-vinyl roof removed

　　and repainted the entire car a similar white to the original color,

　　but he couldn't remember exactly what year. It shines brightly with

　　a good hand-wax; surprising in a paint job from back when clear

　　coat was not yet a thing. Dash is excellent; seats good to

　　great.I've done small maintenance and break-fixes to keep her

　　roadworthy and have receipts. Only non-std parts are Pertronix

　　ignition (hides in the distributor maintaining stock look), yellow

　　Accel plug wires (because they look neat) and Flowmaster Delta 50

　　mufflers on stainless dual exhaust. I couldn't allocate enough

　　funds while helping the kids through college and I'm not mechanical

　　enough to fix the 2 significant, (but parts exist!) inoperative

　　systems: the sunroof that was off the chain (motor still works with

　　dash switch) and the non-working ac (all of it still there, though,

　　and the heat and controls do work), but those never bothered me!

　　Since I never was out in rain, and with the power windows down and

　　sunroof slid back by hand, I could hear the clean executive power

　　of the 455 through the dual Flowmasters, and it was great every

　　time.Only parting with her because all discretionary income is now

　　going into a motorhome for us to visit the kids now scattered

　　across the contiguous states!
