Saved this solid Boat Tail Riv from a local junkyard, let's see if it'll run and move under it's own power

In 1991 I bought a 1973 Rivi for the engine, which went into my 1970 Skylark. The Rivi had bare minimum rust, and needed interior work. Good trans, good engine. I couldn't GIVE that good Rivi away after I took the engine and trans. That was all t was good for, to everyone. I couldn't keep it. To the junkyard it went. Always wanted to have saved that car but I didn't have the room. I'n sure it was crushed before the year was out. Good looking car.

Good save my man, I have always loved those Buicks. When I saw that car in your junkyard video, I was hoping it would be saved. I'm amazed the dash pad survived being a California car.
