In the Sixties, everyone wanted to get in on the Personal Luxury Car mania. Buick’s contender was aptly named the Riviera, which is Italian for coastline. The first-generation Riviera was introduced to the public in 1963, and the model would continue until 1999, spanning eight generations. Today’s 1971 Buick Riviera comes from the third generation, and has got some modern upgrades under its belt. The current owner of this San Diego-based car also reports that all receipts and invoices are available with the sale.
Sporting a maroon paint coat, this 1971 Buick Riviera looks fantastic. No doubt you’ll have noticed the car’s rear window design, with its wrap-around styling that’s reminiscent of the second-generation Chevy Corvette. Long, low and broad, this personal luxury car comes with a contrasting white roof, as two-tone themes were quite popular at the time. It’s definitely an automobile that will attract some attention at a car show, or even while you park it at the local mall or hypermarket. The interior of this 1971 Buick Riviera has reportedly been redone, with cream colored vinyl upholstered seating for four adults to travel in comfort. As you’d expect from a Seventies luxury car, there’s some wood trim, and the seats are of the sink-in variety. The car also features a custom audio system, controlled via a Kenwood head unit with CD player, AUX and USB inputs. Beneath this lies a control panel for the car’s climate control system. We’re not sure if the air conditioning works, so that remains to be checked. We’re also told that there’s no temperature gauge, but that’s easily rectified. You’ll also get plenty of trunk space, as a personal luxury car needs to carry a great deal of luggage to satisfy its occupants needs across longer trips.
Powering this 1971 Buick Riviera is a modern LS V8 that displaces 5.3 liters and powers the rear axle through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The engine uses fuel injection for reliable cold starts and better fuel efficiency. We’re also told that the car has its stock suspension system, and a Magnaflow exhaust for a nicer V8 soundtrack.

By 1965, the Buick Riviera had firmly established itself as one of the most striking American personal luxury coupes of its time. Combining Bill Mitchell’s sharp styling with Buick’s refined powertrains, the Riviera delivered both presence and performance in equal measure. This example, a 1965 model, carries the legendary 401 cubic-inch “Nailhead” V8 paired to a smooth-shifting ST-400 3-speed automatic transmission. Showing 20,446 miles on the odometer, it has been repainted in an eye-catching orange finish and fitted with aftermarket wheels, setting it apart while still honoring the car’s bold original character.

The Buick Regal is one of those nameplates from the Seventies that you can still buy today, albeit not in North America, but China! Introduced in 1973, just as the Malaise Era was taking hold, the Regal has always been the premium midsize offering from this storied American automaker. Regals have been made in coupe, sedan and station wagon forms, and come with some hot variants too. North American Regal sales ceased in 2020, as Buick wanted to refocus its attention towards solely selling SUVS in North America. Today, we have a second-generation 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo for sale from Downey, California. This was considered quite a hot car in its time, due to its punchy 3.8-liter turbo V6 and performance-tuned suspension. This 44,107-mile car also comes with an upgraded intercooler set-up for a bit more bite.
The 1938 Buick Special Series 40 Sedan captures the elegance and innovation of pre-war American motoring, blending Buick’s hallmark smoothness with stylish Art Deco design. Offered from Nevada, Missouri, this example remains highly original, powered by its 248ci inline-eight paired to a 3-speed manual transmission. With 72,366 miles, it stands as both a collectible pre-war classic and a usable vintage sedan that showcases Buick’s engineering achievements of the era.

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
