Please don't come in here and hate on the car, most people don't like the styling of them but I find them cool. 95 Buick Riviera! 167k, 3.8L Supercharged. [img]http://brandonlong.me/resizer.php?riv&img=IMG_20110419_155143.jpg[/img] Rear [img]http://brandonlong.me/resizer.php?riv&img=april20/IMG_20110420_165930.jpg[/img] Leather/loaded [img]http://brandonlong.me/resizer.php?riv&img=april20/IMG_20110420_170032.jpg[/img] Needs some body work and a rear crossmember [img]http://brandonlong.me/resizer.php?riv&img=april20/IMG_20110420_165910.jpg[/img] Overall a nice car, the fun part of it is the toy on the motor.

Something you'll learn about the Automotive Addicts subforum. We're car fanatics, which means some of us are going to hate. That being said, it's not a bad car. The trunk's design is atrocious, though.
If you get it all cleaned up, and dont donk it out (like i think someone in the forum was in the process of, didnt end well for him) you wont get hated on much, at least not by me. Although honestly it is a rather forward design
Yeah unless you post some riced out v6 mustang or grand prix people won't care. Also how much did you pay for it?

$700 man.
I bet you could nail a lady in the trunk of that thing. It looks like it would have a cubic fuckton of room in it. [editline]21st April 2011[/editline] lol broke my merge
Yeah man big truck space, bigger than a vic I think.
If you like it that's all that matters. Have fun with it. It's cool that it's supercharged.
More trunk space than a crown vic? Man. I know for sure that 3 people can uncomfortably fit in a crown vic trunk. That must be a lot of fucking room.
that trunk lid is as big as my hood. and that hood is as big as my, well it's a big fucking hood.

If you drove the car around backwards I don't think anyone would notice.
Problem is finding parts for this thing, there are no aftermarket parts and dealer discontinued all parts for them.
My dad has the same car, just white. I believe it is even the same year, or at least just a year or so difference. I like it, very roomy and nice.
I actually think overall that looks pretty badass, even the oversized rear-end.
Trunk space is for pussys get enough subwoofers to fill the whole truck turn dial up trunk lid flies off ????? ticket
[QUOTE=Funcoot;29329526]My dad has the same car, just white. I believe it is even the same year, or at least just a year or so difference. I like it, very roomy and nice.[/QUOTE] Yeah the Interior on these is wicked nice.
Kinda looks like my moms '99 Chrysler Concorde. Roomy as all hell, with a hugegigantifuckingnormus trunk and blind spots everywhere.
Blind Spots<3
Excellent! The 3800 series of engine is unbeatable in reliability and fuel economy is top notch as well. Will serve you well for years to come, at least; the powertrain will.
[QUOTE=blong4life;29328153]Yeah man big truck space, bigger than a vic I think.[/QUOTE] My 88' Vic has a HUGE trunk. Easily 2 girls could fit in there.
Yeah guys got it up on stands today got the rear subframe down got the new one from a JY cleaned it up put some rust converter on it and painted it with bed coating. Also got the front up,rotted out oil pan ordered one from rockauto that should be here soon, some idiot overtightened the tranny pan so that's leaking need to get a filter and gasket for it change that. Also the carpet was a mess, so i ripped the interior apart took the carpet out sent that out for cleaning. Hope to have it on the road within 2-3 weeks.
I got the same year and color as you.You could do smaller supercharger pulley, colder plugs, and exhaust. But there's not much of a market for the series 1 motors, its more in the series 2 supercharged motors. [IMG]http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb173/TrashyPatches/DSC_0737-1.jpg[/IMG]
holy fuck that rusted out cross member :byodood:
