1981 buick riviera 71,000 miles V6 4.1 PRICE LOWERED TO $1,000.00 this is a very respectable car and it runs and drives very nice. just went thru Pa inspection. no rust except on hood shown in picture. frame rails are perfect never touched. this car is unmolested. everything works even the factory level ride. the trunk looks like nothing has been put in it. the jack and spare has never been removed. the interior is a strong 9 headliner is not sagging. door panels are perfect no cracking on armrest.

now the bad the bumper infills are crack and pieces are missing they can be bought new for $250.00 to $325.00 and would need painted. these cars do not look good with bumper tucks i feel but have been done the power ant does not work also it is all there and can be raised by hand

Not sure about that. Remember, it's front wheel drive.

yes that could work for sure. i drove it about 150 miles and filled the tank before and after it got about 21mpg it was vast majority of highway. the car really does drive nice and has all the power you would need for car like this

The transmission is a BOP bellhousing pattern not Chevy. Same as used in the Olds Toranado. The Olds 307 was used in these and the oldsmobile 350 would be the closest to a "bolt in" that you will get.

Oh dang, thought these were on the same chassis as the RWD G-bodies. Still looks nice and minty.

These cars are great in the snow. I had an '84 Cadillac Eldorado. I would have much rather had the 307 than the POS 4.1L V8 that was in my Eldo.

Is the fwd a "one legger" or a limited slip type set-up?

ok i never ever thought i would be stuck with this car a $1,000.00 takes it....this cars runs really good it looks nice someone please take it off my hands i do not want to park it outside. make me a offer this car can be driven anywhere. plus it has a new Pa. inspection

edit: looking at my first post i didnt give any history on the car. this is a one owner car i knew the car when it was bought new i remember the owner driving it home the first day. the owner past away a month before i bought the car.

he had 6 cars and some of the highend classics. they were going to have a estate auction sale and the cars were going to be in it. so a friend and myself inspected the cars for the family and gave them a ballpark price on each.

when we came to the riv i hit at $1200.00 and my friend said noway it will only do $750.00. i had to open my mouth and say if that car does anything less than $1,200.00 i will buy it. it did and i own it for $1,200.00
