Who wants to save this one?

Featured Replies

Love the car...too much for me though...I want to work on one myself, but maybe with less bodywork....

Holy $h!! Stony Hill is going out of business! I need to get over there ASAP!

huh?

A few years back XP-715 was eyeballin' a Red '71 Rivi with a white

leather interior that was for sale locally but also on eBay.

That car still drives around in the dark recesses of my mind from

time to time & as much as I think most '70s cars suck, the Boat

Tails, at least the '71 & '72 are just divine.

WMJ- let me know if there's any B-59s in there !!!

Not my cup of tea.

triple brown does not do it any favors.

how 'bout this?

Better but still not something I would want unless it was in decent shape and was like a hundred bucks.

These are more my style:

If I'm going to save a 71 Buick it is soing to be a Skylark convertible.

Large and in charge. What a statement.

That red one looks great...no vinyl top or side molding. Perfect.

What did you find?

Poo!

The SweepSpear showed up as standard equip. for '72, and the above red job is a '71 (Flo-Thru decklid).

Not sure if it was optional for '71 or not.

The molding doesn't bother me as it's pretty subtle- I can go either way, but agreed on the no vinyl top.

I had a '72: white with a black vinyl top- not bad but there's no natural spot to end the roof- it interferes with the flow of the bodywork. It just didn't need one, period.
