My first car was a 1976 Buick century that I paid $500. For and I absolutely loved it. Rivieras are so beautiful to look at because to me they are a work of art.
My dad has the '73 G.S Stage 1. Big bumpers spoiled the boat tail. 74, was all gone. My dad's was dark blue with a short white vinyl top & interior. The sunroof was unique, but, after carwash (winter)if U applied the brakes leading to a nose dive, water would wet both outboard passenger. Rivieras were pretty fast too.

What a beautiful car , I love the color , nothing ever looked like a boat tail Riviera , the car reeks with class , A bankers Hot Rod . I had a 1966 Riviera , in Burgundy , I believe it's here on RUclips it had a matching burgundy interior . Riviera's were always A special car , A few notches above the best of the best , you didn't just pull up in a Riviera , you made an entrance in a Riviera . About 35 years ago I did A cosmetic restoration on one that same color combination , sans the vinyl top . The owner of this car is right , the 71-72's were the best of this generation Riviera , no big bulky ugly safety bumpers , seems like every generation Riviera has its best year , the 63-65's the 65 was the best , with the GS option and clamshell headlamps., the 66-69's had the 66 with the last year for the nail head 425 and dual quad car burst ion , these were torque monsters with 456 ft.pounds of torque , very fast and very well handling , for a large car (although it was 3 inches shorter than a same year Pontiac GTO) and the lowest hood line.in GM history , even lower than a Corvette of the era . The 1963 Riviera was supposed to be a Cadillac , but at the last minute GM Brass decided to badge the car as a Buick to help Bucks ailing sales , it worked . I heard a rumor that Buick was possibly going to re introduce the Riviera again , who knows if it will ever happen.
Central Europe - Slovakia - a place of many collectors and US cars clubs. Even environmental taxes do not apply to the vintage cars yet (unlike some other European countries)
Mark, love the "Green Shark". The only thing you need to do is add the shoulder belts up on the headliner that the car originally came with- and wear them.
To hell with someone telling me to wear my seatbelts. I wouldn't want to die in any other car. Now go crash your Prius into a tree, to enhance its appearance, and walk away, unscathed. You crash an ugly car that should be crashed, and I crash a beautiful car that I shouldn't have and die. Its my choice for gory glory.
OK who selected that song for the opener? It should have been "NEON KNIGHTS"!!! My all time favorite car!!! This car and many others were built at a time when "smoke was smoke and groovin was groovin"!! Jack ~'()'~
Good taste, Mark loves Frank Stalone - Far from Over song in the video, but I (Rob) would chose Neon Knights or Led Zeppelin - I like to play that kind of music on my Harley Davidson! Otherwise I had to use a bunch of copyright free music at the time of making the video, but all monetization comes to the owner of the "Far from over" clip anyway. But this is non-commercial channel, so I do not care - and chose Neon Knights next! :-))
Yes it is - but if you come to European US cars meetings - many have it - proud of their big V8 American engines.. (those are getting increasingly rare when Europe is trending into 3 cylinders or electric).
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(/
Only new combustion engine cars will be banned from sales since 2030, while old cars and even new hybrids can stay on the road, even after this year. Cars homologated before, always apply the rule valid at their homologation, vintage cars have special rules too. However it is likely they will not be allowed to the big cities and they will pay high taxes for car and fuel. But there will be places to drive them. At the side roads, events, circuits.. And these cars are historical heritage - museums and collectors will keep them.
@@motorheadslifestyle3263 Problem is China, China told our EU politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic after 2030...I am sure the UK and USA also will be forced by China to 120% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China....:-(
One of the best looking cars ever produced. A masterpiece. 👍 And my favorite car of all time.

Love the classic vehicles. But this car, I have not seen it since the late 70s. I was just a kid back then.
Two wild n crazy guys!!

FABIO SILVAGGI 🍻

Love the sound of that starter!
The Dream. My life. Hello From USSR. Buick rivera the best! 7.8 motor cool!
OMG. Was this filmed in Slovakia? Love the Boat Tail Riviera. It must of cost a small fortune to transport it. Best from Los Angeles.
When you really want to hear the sound of the car but you hear music...
71 72 best years yup he knows🍻✌👏👏👍🍻

My Class of 1976 Dream Prom Car.

One of my all time favorite cars. I even like the color. The guy looks like Rolly from Count Customs. Where was this filmed?

Mark, love the "Green Shark". The only thing you need to do is add the shoulder belts up on the headliner that the car originally came with- and wear them.
brad parris When I bought my 72 Riviera the seat belts were in a box in the trunk.
Kevin, hope that you have installed them and are wearing them, especially the shoulder belts. In a crash they are lifesavers- I am proof of that.
To hell with someone telling me to wear my seatbelts. I wouldn't want to die in any other car. Now go crash your Prius into a tree, to enhance its appearance, and walk away, unscathed.

I have beautiful 72 model buick reviara and its fantastic car and i wont part with it.from MALTA
Charles Whitr Rose Jr nice🍻👍👏✌

Denne ønsker jeg meg :-)
Why did I keep expecting the Festrunk brothers, Yortuk and Georg to suddenly appear in the video?
A same model , are in Romania :))
I want to sell my 64 impala for one of these Rivieras 71s G's
I have a 68 olds delta 88. Four door hardtop. Who can help me with this ride?
I’m In Wisconsin, the bones and motor are strong . Paint and interior needs help
Boatie needs some tail.
Have you tried the Dingy?
God damn I wish they would just ban White Walls once and for all!!! Almost ruins this beautiful classic!! Otherwise perfect 👌👌👌
The 73 facelift killed the boat tail.
For sale?
What is with Europeans and this car?
Big Bad Bitch...🤘🏻
The sticker with the f-word is a little trashy don't you think?
Yes it is - but if you come to European US cars meetings - many have it - proud of their big V8 American engines.. (those are getting increasingly rare when Europe is trending into 3 cylinders or electric).
fuck the downsizing.🍻
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned
from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the
Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas
station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel
pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in
the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems,
turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and
New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be
done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of
crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-(/

Another car exported-such a shame.
I clicked here to see a car - not watch a music video full of stupid selfies. THUMBS DOWN
Nice car, awful music.
