checkout the reverse spin - would your try that - especially hard on bias ply tires, I love when bud says its comes out of it with enough force to lift the front wheels off the ground (his tone suggests that's a bad thing. Warning dont try that in youe superbee camaro, or mustang it will flip.

My father had the same type of car with the same color, the same vinyl roof and the same color interior. His was a GS which had the bucket seats and floor shifter. Is yours a GS?

Anyway,you have one beautiful car. Never part with it!

[robs71redriv]

@McNabbulous The bucket seats and console are specific to the GS , mine not a GS it has those, and the GS F41 Suspension.  In addition to the F41 The GS had larger valves ( Stage 1 heads), a higher lift cam, giving 15 more HP, special trans tuning, and the posi rear chrome air claener top, and GS badges.

Thanks for your comment if you want to see more boattails visit the boattail-riviera-by-buick dot com

@robs71redriv should read - The bucket seats and console are NOT specific to the GS -

Not so much a "boattail" in the traditional Auburn sense.... more like the 1964 - '67 Corvette Sting Ray rear end, only bigger and flatter. It was a nice looking car. Somebody chopped the roof line on one of themand lowered it. At first, it looks sort of strange but then it starts to grow on you. I have it posted on my channel if anyone cares to have a look.

Nice work. My late father had an orange 1971 Riviera with a black top. I remember the day he picked it up from the dealership.
