1970 Buick Riviera Coronet Gold Sports Coupe SOLD SOLD SOLD

[@MostlyBuicks]

Update on the brakes and fuel starvation mentioned in the video. I have adjusted the rebuilt brakes and now it brakes wonderfully. The problem with fuel starvation was a dirty fuel filter. I installed a new filter. Now it is fast, powerful and runs down the road without intermittent sputtering.

[@Turtlepaparazzi]

This is my favorite video! I wish the circumstances were different, but what a great job you did telling the story!

[@MostlyBuicks]

I live to fight another day.

[@expatinbrazil]

Is an amazing car ! If was me, I was keeping it, even will take some jobs , but in the end will be something! New friend here! I hope we will stay close! Respect!

Super beauty solid gold Riviera I love it.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Well it would take about $30,000 to restore it properly.

[@MrJ6789]

Those wide stripes down the sides that are painted a cream color most likely has chrome underneath . I had a red one that a paint chip that exposed chrome underneath. I removed all of the red paint that covered the wide strips on both sides. It really looked great afterwards.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Yes, the entire cast molding is chromed. The insert is usually painted either the body color or the contrasting color of the vinyl top.

[@TheIriepunisher]

truly enjoyed the video, always like hearing about all the little details.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Thank you. I had mixed feelings about all this.

[@kenney8656]

All in all, very nice example of a 1970 Riviera. The color is nice as well! 👍🏻

[@chrishaps6846]

Greetings from the UK ! Great video + fabulous car !

[@MostlyBuicks]

thank you

[@travishackney7771]

Well it’s gone I’m sure you did not get a premium for it but it’s a learning experience next time look at it before buying and if at all possible get a pre purchase inspection and you should be allowed to to take it to a Buick dealer and talk to the mechanic about what you are looking for not just a state inspection I do believe he was hoping you were not going to come out to see it so you bought it sight unseen I just hope you didn’t pay a premium

[@dave1956]

I remember the color and liked it then. Now, I am not so sure! I had a 1966, 1969 & 1971 Riviera. I always loved the 1970.

[@MostlyBuicks]

I think there were 2 or 3 different golds in 1970.

[@MostlyBuicks]

There was also Harvest Gold and Desert Gold for Buick in 1970. Maybe you are thinking of either of those colors. I personally prefer Desert Gold.

[@docholliday7777]

In 4th grade my dad had a 66 when I turned 18 I got a 66 love those cars

[@MostlyBuicks]

I had a 1967 Riviera GS that I loved. Also a 1971 Boattail.

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

I have to say that Buick made a car that was beautiful in 1967 into something truly hideous.

[@MostlyBuicks]

I once had a 67 Riviera GS. But the 1970 has become more and more beautiful to me as I get older. That is not to say the 66 and 67 isn't.

[@travishackney7771]

If this car is from arizona. It wouldn’t have ANY RUST ON IT AT ALL PERIOD

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@travishackney7771Well that would hold true for the desert portions of AZ. But it wasn't from AZ anyway. Yes, even junkyards with cars from the 1950s have rust free cars, save for the surface rust from the sun baking all the paint off the sheet metal.

[@travishackney7771]

I am a Christian I am a SINNER SAVED BY GRACE and I am a work in progress but I don’t use my relationship with my LORD to rip people off So when people start off about their faith and how they are born again I always start doubting everything they say from then on

[@travishackney7771]

That’s a lot of rust coming from Arizona I guess he spent a lot time in Flagstaff or travel to NEWYORK in the winter

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@travishackney7771 It was from the midwest. It was said to be rust free. I was foolishly taken by a con artist. You'd think I would have known better. But I sold it at a loss with full disclosure. I practically tried to talk the guy out of buying it, by showing him the video of the underside. But some people think there is money to be made in restoring cars of this condition. Even if the car was free, this is a $60,000 or more project to restore it right.

[@Species710]

Except for the color, she is so pretty.

[@Species710]

@@Turtlepaparazzi Did you wash it off?!

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@Species710 No bad! Points for wit.

[@travishackney7771]

It’s a survivor but I would not choose this example to doa complete rotisserie restoration

[@MostlyBuicks]

@@travishackney7771 Me either. One of the most disappointing purchases I have made in decades.

[@patrickpotter1299]

it’s a shame. i dealt with 4 ppl in the three mos i searched for my new sunday driver. i got bad vibes from all of them and moved on. i got real comfortable real quick dealing with you. the car you sold me is so damn nice. i feel just plain luckky to have dealt with an honest atheist as opposed to an honest christian.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Thank you my friend.

[@eymanyouwell]

What does your last sentence mean? Are you against Christians?

[@travishackney7771]

I bet this car was repainted thinking they could sell it before the rust came back

[@MostlyBuicks]

It was repainted, but the paint job was pretty old There was not much rust or rust repair on the outer body panels. I hope someday to own a NICE 1970 Riviera, but I would have to sell off a few cars to afford it.

[@DCRT-ot2bf]

Did u buy sight unseen ?? should not be complaining Nice car though

[@MostlyBuicks]

If you watch the entire video, you will see I admit is it MY fault two or three time that I did not fly in to inspect the car before I bought it. I reserve the right to complain about anything, even if they hang me with a silk rope.

[@Tirra227]

@@MostlyBuicks 😂 lol I agree. Beautiful car.
