1971 Buick Riviera "Boat-Tail" Coupe

Introducing this 1971 Buick Riviera "Boat-Tail" Coupe, finished in its factory color Vintage Red with a Sandalwood interior and matching Sandalwood top.

Power comes from the 455 cubic-inch (7.5L) V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, supported by a 4-barrel carburetor and power steering. The setup delivers smooth, low-effort driving with strong torque delivery, consistent with Buick's emphasis on refined highway performance. Additional exterior features include quad-headlights, chrome bumpers, and 15-inch chrome 5-spoke Road wheels fitted with Hankook Optimo H724 tires.

Inside, the cabin is configured with an optional notchback bench seat and finished in Sandalwood, complemented by air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, seat belts, and dual-side rearview mirrors. A classic three-spoke steering wheel anchors the driver's view, while convenience and comfort remain central to the layout. The trunk retains a jack and full-size spare tire.

A notable design detail of this generation is the fastback rear treatment, which was inspired by Bill Mitchell's earlier custom Riviera concept work that aimed to translate European-style speedster proportions into a full-size American luxury coupe. That influence is most visible in the continuous sweep of the rear deck and integrated taillight design.

This example is running and driving, however this classic vehicle will require some work before becoming road-ready and is priced accordingly. Well-equipped and largely preserved in its original factory configuration, this Riviera presents a strong combination of period styling, comfort features, and classic American luxury design.
