New project: 1997 Buick Riviera Supercharged

PIcked this one up off Craigslist for $400 plus $50 to deliver it. Car runs and drives but has what sounds like rod knock. I still need to to some diagnostic work, but that's what it sounds like to me, and the guy I bought it from was a mechanic and thinks the same. The car is fully loaded with what looks to be every option offered right down the traction control and engine block heater. The car has just under 100k on it and it in excellent shape in and out. The car has been sitting for a year or so and looks it, but it will get washed when it gets warmer.

also you sure its a 97, mine looks way different and has different interior features

@btbbelesky Yup, its a 97. The center console looks different in mine because its out of a 96 (different wood and has cassette holders instead of CD). Don't know why it was replaced with that.
