by Restomodded 1971 Buick Riviera with LS3 Engine
Among classic American cars like the Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang, the 1971 Buick Riviera is encountered less frequently. However, one specimen from Pennsylvania was recently sold for $22,000. This car stands out with its unique design, especially the rear end and the elongated rear window, making it distinctive even against modern models.
Technical Details and Car Condition
The car is not a top-tier restomod—it is more of a project for further improvement. Among the drawbacks: the air conditioner is missing (although it was originally included) and the need for a paint job. However, the car already has new shock absorbers, bushings, and a radiator, making it suitable for driving.
The seller noted that the Riviera can be used right now without worrying about minor flaws, such as paint damage.
The price of $22,000 seems attractive for a car with such history and potential. Unlike more popular models, the Buick Riviera remains underrated, opening up opportunities for collectors. Its design and character still evoke admiration, and the modernized engine adds a contemporary touch to the classic aesthetics.
