1971 Riviera

Hey guys, I'm new to the board, and I just bought my first classic car. I'm 25 so I have a lot of learning to do!

I bought a 1971 Riviera, 80k orig miles. Interior is in prefect condition (just ugly brown color) Exterior is in average condition. Paint is about a 7.5/10. The 455 runs strong in it.

Here are some pics, it needs a good detailing

Yes the car is bigger than my truck p

 

Some of my plans. All of which will be down the road.

Exterior paint - silver
Remove ugly vinyl top
Black leather and Black Carpet
17" Cragar wheels
Trim up exhaust tips
fix power windows
Tint windows

And what ever else I'm leaving out.

I think with the new paint job, removed vinyl and cragars it will be looking pretty slick!

 

NICE RIDE!GOOD LUCK WITH IT!:beers2: :TU:

 

Good looking car. 71 Riv is my Favorite.

Nice find!

I like it! If you ever decide to part with some of the brown stuff like the dash, etc, let me know.

 

Nice ride! What color is it? It's tough to tell from the pics.
