I love those 'porthole style' gauges you got though
Yeah, gotta love the 90's luxury interiors!

Gotta love L67 torque...moving a two ton coupe from 0-60 in like 6 seconds is pretty good

Re: 1996 Buick Riviera (Updated)

Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for such a beautiful car?

How many miles on it?

TIA

That is an awesome car. I always thought that the Riv was way ahead of its time on the styling. It still looks much better than some new cars today.

Thanks for sharing the information and the photos..

It looks nearly brand new, a little turtle wax and it would look phenomenal.
