Description of 1969 Buick Riviera original factory

A THING OF BEAUTY, IS A JOY FOREVER
This car is like a breath of fresh COLD air (the air condition actually WORKS, on this baby--- and how)!

Yes, there may be others out there, but this one is the original LAVANDER color, especially orderedfor this owner (a dear sweet lady, who is the mother of the son, who owns a mechanic shop, andhas decided to sell it for her). (Color listed as purple, because GM soft lavander was not listed).
And this one HAS NOT been totally redone and replaced and restored and modified,making it an over-lacquered updatedconfection of itself ---- This car has beenmostly unused, and stored and cared for, it's whole life. Nothing about this car hasbeen changed, since the car was purchased. Even the odometer has not turned over,not once.
Total mileage (as listed on odometer now) is 41662
Owner is the first, and current owner. And the condition has been meticulously kept andmaintained as was, when it was taken off the dealers lot.Everything works. And everything about the carimpresses you.
The minute you step into it, you are taken back in time, from the feel of the easy steering,to the commanding powerof the protruding muscle car engine, so typical of the feel and excitement of the 60s.You can peel rubber so easilyin this baby, but now, that would be considered wrong, in so many ways.Still, you could hop in, and do it... just forthe hell of it.
This is truly, a car to be admired, in.... and, it is so pretty.It stilll has it's gloss.
Car is practically mint condition.Officially, rated as:IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.
Runs excellent. Ready to drive.
Imperfections known are listed as follows:Back driver's marker light (red lens) has degraded over time.Will be replaced, however, the "R" is gone, on that side.A discerning collector might have it replaced with some ease.
Electric windows go up and down well, but not superfast, anymore.This might be noticed by an expert collector.
Same with the electric antenna. Manual button located on dash.
All interior lights will be working when you see car. We are changing themall out.
All exterior lights (including back up, and marker lights) work

A WORD ABOUT BODY ROT, OR BEING A RUST BUCKET
This car was shipped and sold in Southern California, and has been regularlygaraged, or covered (as it is right now) it's whole life.so there is no issue of rust or salt oxidation, or erosion/corrosion from underneath,(the frame, or any steel or iron components) or body,or anywhere on the vehicle. No bondo or filler has ever touchedthis car.No holes or crayzing or bubbling on the bottom skirts, or anywhere.Floor boards are solid as a rock. Original carpeting.These all-important facts alone, make this car a remarkable and prized find.

Tires are good, no leaks, have been on the car a while, andhave the appropriate white walls, for the time.
