Very nice John.Do you live on the east end?I had asked some of the strong island guys if they knew your car,I saw it on Hampton road,South Hampton about 6:30 in the morning heading east weeks ago.Even if it wasn't you,looks like a sweet ride.

Hey you EAST ENDERS.....my son-in-law is (burnout9217) on this site and he lives in Sagharbor on Noyak Road and also has a house on the North Fork in Jamesport. Maybe you guys should get together out there for some buick fun.

Actually, I'm glad you asked, because it made me notice that I misnamed the color... :error: It is Buckskin, Code X. But it's still just tan... :laugh:

And yes, it is the original color... it's been resprayed, but it is spot-on.



Thanks Frank

picture of my 72 Antique gold GS
It only took a year, for me to like the color! Thats a great combo, it kind of reminds me of 70 Harvest Gold(my personal fav) Here's my Cortez 72 w/70 nose.

[fastest430]

this is my 85 :TU:

[Steve Craig]

Butternut Yellow, actually a Riv. only colour for the year. Also called Crocus Yellow & bamboo Creme other years.

[wkillgs]

This is my first car!....1977, a few months before I turned 16, I bought this GS for $50 from my friends older brother.... It had a bad 425, and a MAACO paint job. I spent the next 3 years rebuilding the car. It was wrecked in 1982 :ball:
I really miss that car....

Riviera Gold

These are pictures of my Harvest Gold Stage 1

[75Riv]

About 2 months ago: the 75 RivieraGS just returned from a repaint job.... Could have choosen another color.... but I sticked to the original: Honey Gold Irid.

Will post some more photos here later (new wheels/tires, all chrome trim back on the car etc)

I'll post more when I get home.

Well it not exactly gold, its champagne. I guess its close enough. :laugh:

Wow really great looking car Jeff :TU:

Do you know the code of this color ?

Will continue the trend for faded Gold colors. Mines Desert Gold. been waiting for an engine to be built for a little over 2 years, hence the light front end appearance :Dou:

Your car needs a beautiful set of Buick Rims like these. Nos caps and Lugs included. Shipping would be a bitch.

[75Riv]

:laugh: Jarrod..... the wheels in those photos were the old rusty ones, which I kept on the Riv during the repaint......
I already replaced them:

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/RivieraForum/Rob%201/75riv%202/200510223.jpg

Shipping IS a bitch.... above the total costs (including shipping that means....) we have to pay an extra 20% tax here ..... so I'm very careful with the ones I have now...... :TU:

[10sec 455]

Wow really great looking car Jeff :TU:

Do you know the code of this color ?

I think it is 63. Thanks

I don't know if I could cross that line. I guess I am too faithful to my F-bodies. Besides, I have to finish all of my current projects before I can get another car.

How come? It's ashame that it's like that and it certainly doesn't look good just sitting there. Is that a GS or a Skylark?

[sean Buick 76]

I'm lovingt he Cortez Gold!!!!!!! Great color for a Buick.

[sparkplug]

I have to kick a 68 F85 oldsmobile out of my garage first.. My buddy doesn't seem to understand that he has to work on it in order to get done...But I am not going to ruin a friendship because of it.. It is out of the garage by spring then mine is going on the rotisserie.. It is a 1971 Stage1.. It just kills me to see it outside!!! But a little more time won't hurt it.. It was outside after being painted for a number of years..It is atleast covered now... The body work was terrible to say the least..!!! Can you say overspray!!!! Thanks for your input!! Randy.

[stangman]

Heres my 70 Buick Electra

[tt455]

Well I figured I'd bring this thread back to life it's been a few years,and I'd like to see some more Gold cars.I forgot about this thread.I read it before I got my car painted and never posted pics here.Same car,same color,one in the sun and one in the shade.Cortez Gold,looks like two different colors sometimes.

beautiful car tom! love that n-25 bumper.:beer

[75Riv]

Forgot about this thread... even my prior photo disappeared...
Had my doubts for quite a while before the re-paint: Cortez gold (which I really like) or the original color Honey gold. Decided to stick as close to original:

My 72 350 sport coupe was originally Cortez gold but got a Macco respray in the 80's that was as close to right. Dull and faded now but the inside of the trunklid is as it left Flint.

Heres the story about it.

Taking her to the GSX reunion this August, rooms booked:TU: ......

[Steve Craig]

My first Buick, a '71 circa '83 or '84. Wife's grandmother bought it new. Sold it to Jane in '80 to use for university. I bought it from her in '82.
Not sure what gold is on it. I believe the car was Sandpiper Beige as new, possibly a vinyl roof. Grandmother didn't like the colour so it was painted top & bottom. I picked it up & had the bottom repainted.
22K miles on it when I sold it.

My pride and joy, '72 Riviera ready to hit the road this summer :Brow:
This is the first pic i took of the car after i got it. Since then, i have got a new and better set of rally whells and center cap's. Also got a hold on a "new" dash from a '73 riviera, with the am/fm radio w/8 track and speed alert, that the plastic was good, since mine was all broken up after many years in the hot California sun. Have also installed the rear window defogger:Brow:
Last winter, the car got a new set of springs and KYB Gas-a-Just Shocks front and back.

[David Butts]

Glenn, Luckilly for you, You look to be a big guy:pray: , Hoisting that hunk-O-iron intake that far over the fenders is not an easy task.

Congrats on the positive results. I can only imagine what you guys on the other side of the world have to go through to find parts, They're getting hard to find here in the states.

[Cadillacman]

Yes, i'm not the smalest guy, but the riviera got a big engine room he he.. Big man needs a big car:laugh:
I did had some help getting the intake in place. I dont think i coud have done it my self. Way to heavy :rant:
It's not easy to find parts, but i use the internet a lot :Comp: , but sooner or later i'll always find the parts i'm looking for :3gears:
When i was going to strip down the intake and all the other parts, i did find on the internet a product called "strip all" that somebody here in norway was selling. Great product that removes paint, rust and other crap he he.. saved me many days of work.

Wow! I'm sure that stuff would set off the environmentalists in this country. If it works, It has to be illegal. :blast:

This product is not harmfull for the environment says the producer of this product on their site. But i don't know. As long as it works, it's ok for me he he... :beers2: Have a nice weekend, David
