Description
1968 Buick Riviera coupe equipped with the original Buick 430 V8 Big Block engine and Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
Vehicle imported directly from the United States and accompanied by original American documentation (USA Title) and European import DUA with duties paid, ready for registration.
The car presents a very good overall appearance with a very complete and visually appealing body. The paint shows wear from age and storage, but the vehicle still has an excellent presence and perfectly preserves the characteristic lines of the 1968 Riviera.
The interior is complete, showing mainly wear to the front seats in keeping with the vehicle’s age.
The bodywork only shows some localized rust around the rear wheel arches and the trunk floor, with the rest of the car in very good overall condition for an American car of its era.
The engine starts by being fed with external petrol, as the fuel system requires a refurb after years in storage.
It also comes with a new front windscreen, a part that is particularly difficult and expensive to source on this model.
Very complete vehicle and an excellent base for both original restoration and a high‑end restomod project. The 1968 Buick Riviera is regarded by many enthusiasts and collectors as one of the most elegant and balanced designs in American motoring of the late 1960s.
Its spectacular fastback line, the proportions of a “personal luxury coupe” and distinctive details such as hidden headlights give this model a very special presence even when compared with other great American classics of the era.
Unlike other American cars of similar size, the Riviera blends design, sportiness and luxury, making it a highly valued car in the United States and increasingly in Europe.
The unit on offer also preserves a very complete and honest base, something especially important in this kind of project. The inclusion of a new windscreen and already regularised European import documentation is also a very important advantage over similar projects.
This is a vehicle ideal for both a high‑level original restoration and an elegant restomod preserving the spectacular aesthetics of the model.
Models like this Riviera are becoming increasingly hard to find in Europe and continue to attract interest among collectors and enthusiasts of quality American classics.
