GarageScout Take

First-year Riviera with a 401ci Nailhead rebuilt in February 2010, including work to the block, radiator, valves, bearings, piston rings, and oil pump. The twin-turbine Dynaflow was also reportedly rebuilt in 2010, while the car received a Bamboo Cream repaint during the refurbishment and front and rear brake service. Its one-owner history ran from delivery at Dresslar Waeche Buick in Seattle until 2009, and the car includes refurbishment records, partial records, service manuals, and copies of magazines in which it was featured.
