Comments from the seller

Buick Riviera 1980 5.7 litre unleaded fuel has been in my possession for approximately 6 years. It is rust free and had a very easy life with only 81,760 original klms. All the usual extras working including power seats, windows, door locks etc. The exterior paint is in excellent condition as it has always been stored in a garage. Mechanically it is excellant although l have purchased 2 new rear shockers and left hand drive shaft which may need to be upgraded prior to selling. Inspection will not disappoint. UPDATE - new Driveshaft and shock absorbers are now fitted to vehicle as well as a complete service, oil changes etc including the brakes which are fairly new. Also, receipt available for radiator/cooling system overall in June as well as new hoses plus spares in boot. The exhaust system was replaced approx 80,000 klm so little if anything required for RWC she is basically ready for her new owner.
