I hope I don't offend all the lovers of the 74-76 Buick Rivieras but in my opinion they were the ugliest Rivieras built. The hood , doors and interior were the same as the le sabre which was actually better looking. With all that being said I am still considering running up the 401 and scooping up this 1976 Buick Riviera. It has a low performance version 455, th 400, and Buick road wheels. Also I have written about completing sets and I haven't had a 74-76 yet. we have had a 63 - loved it, 66 parts car with nailhead and factory aluminum valve covers - parted it out, 68 - back when I was young and foolish and tried to make a bump and run car for Checker Flag raceway, 72 - still have it, 77- loved it even though it used oil like crazy. We even parted a front drive T-Type from the 79- 86 era- should have kept that carbureted turbo engine, the next era was forgettable but not ugly and the last - for now shared the Aurora platform and we had one of those so that almost counts.
