I was gong to point that out as well as the 68 tail light bezels. Not saying that. Really depends on what you want to do with it. Bodys in good shape int. is ok. Someone could make a good driver out of it.
Think its more like $2.8 or 3k. Since there is clear evidence the seller has little clue about condition, you can bet this car has more issues than stated. I'll go out on a limb and guess the chrome wheels are 71 and up therefore are hitting the drums.
The seller states that it is "all original, engine and tranny match". The engine block could be the original, but the valve covers, distributor, air cleaner (and modifications to it), and chrome wheels are most certainly not! It is a shame the passenger side rear view mirror is missing as it is a dealership option that is tough to find. Not a big deal perhaps, but it has been repainted. Note the hood underside is completely white with no hood insulation. With that said, the asking price seems to be in the ball park, albeit perhaps a bit on the high side. All in all, a decent Riviera that needs some additional care.
I'm guessing the seller is naive and doesn't really know the car. He may be passing information on from whomever he got the car from. I doubt that the engine is a 430 with later heads, manifold, etc. I also doubt that the wheels are later model wheels, there condition seems to be on par with the rest of the car. The rear bumper seems to line up pretty well with the body which is a plus. He also seems like he is trying to be truthful as he mentions problems with the car he doesn't have to. I don't really think the asking price is out of line as he would probably be negotiable. Bob H.
The seller I bought my car from started in the same price range as this car. After a few months of haggling we settled for under 3K
