Up for auction is an absolutely immaculate, single family owned 1969 Buick Riviera. This car is the definition of a time capsule and is in incredible originalcondition. The original owner worked in the Buick factory in Flint, MIthroughout the 1960s and was a collector of Buicks after his retirement. He always stored the car indoors and maintained the car meticulously,keeping service records back to 1975, which still remain in the car. Theoriginal owner passed away in 1987 and the car was left to his younger brother, who drove the car only 12,000 miles in 30 years. The younger brother stored the carin a heated garage since 1987 and only took the car to theoccasional local car show. The interior of this car is in excellentcondition. The original headliner and sun visors do not have one damaged seamand have no sagging material anywhere. The original carpets have absolutely no ripping or disintegration of the threads and show very well. The dash pad appears as new with no cracking or fading anywhere and the metal part of the dashbeneath thewindshield has no fading or rust with excellent original paint. The gauge surround and all of the wood grain dash trim is in excellentcondition with no cracking or peeling anywhere. The seats are in excellentcondition and the rear package tray appears as new. The door panels are in excellent shape aside from a small crack in the driver's side arm rest base. The car is equippedwith factory A/C, tilt wheel, power windows, power antenna, power trunk release, power seat, electric clock, dual note horn, and rear defroster. All of these items function except the A/C, which needs a charge and aclutch replacement, andthe clock. Theoriginal AMradio still works and sounds excellent. The exterior of the car is incredibly straight and does not have one slight door ding. The body gaps are virtuallyperfect with no misalignment. The hood, doors, and trunk open and close like a new car. The car is 100% rust free, never having any rustrepairedpreviously. The car waspainted in 1998 in the original color and shows very well. All of the stainless trim, bezels, emblems, and bumpers were removed when it was painted. There are a few smallroadchips on the hood.Shortly after the car was painted the car was brought to an auto detailer before a car show and the paint was burned by a buffer on the top of the driver's rear quarter panel near the trunk. The paint was touched up at that time and was left alone. The original vinyl top is in greatcondition with no lifting or rust underneath it. All of thestainless and chrome trim on the car is virtually perfect with nearly no pitting oneither of the bumpers, grille, tail light bezels, or body side moldings. Thehidden headlights work perfectly and do not have anyvacuum leaks. The undercarriage is very dry and 100% rust free. The floor pans, rockers, rear quarters, front fenders, trunk pan, and spare tire area are all solid as a rock. Theoriginal 430 engineremains in the car and runs well. The original rochester carburetorremains on the motor as well as the original spring ring battery terminals. Themotor isextremely clean and does not have any excessiveoil orgrease buildup anywhere. The firewall is very clean and some factory chalk markings stillremain on it. All of thefactoryoriginal decalsremain under the hood, in the door jambs, and in the trunk. Theoriginal sparewheel is in the trunk with a brand new tire. Theoriginal jack and lug wrench remain in the trunk and appear to be unused in brand newcondition. Theoriginal owner'smanual stillremains in theglovebox inside ofthe original plastic bag and the car still holds the title issued in 1988 when the brother of theoriginal owner inherited the car. Thiscar is truly one of the cleanest, mostoriginal Rivieras in existence with an incredible story and will not disappoint.
