1972 Buick Riviera Boat tail review from North America
"Awesome!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has been a great car and I still own it. So far I replaced the carburetor @ 160,000 miles and is running great! Besides that the head gasket went @ 120,000 miles after I was drag racing it!!! It got so hot the steam was coming out of the carb!!
General comments?
I think this is one of of the world's greatest American luxury cars!!
