----I bought a stage 1 Rivvy new. Black metallic with a white gut. Pretty car if you like boat tails. Sort of thought at the time that I ought to grow up a bit. I was wrong! Sold it to a friend and bought a 69 435 Corvette...….Bill S

really common in St Louis when i was a kid...seems like they where everwhere...havent seen one in 25 years
|
Saw one in my life time in the late 70s. A 70 Silver Riv. Stage 1 in Rye NY.
|
They were all over the south side of Chicago back then.
|
Wasn't the Riv the car of choice for the up and coming mobster? With no disrespect!

What did the Stage 1 do for the Riv?

My father in law has a Metallic brown 73 Riv that he tows his 24" checkmate to the river on weekends. Those 455's have tons of torque!

I've heard somewhere that only around 200 Stage 1 Rivieras were built. Anyone know a different number?

In 1973 the Stage 1 option was $139. I assume it was the same for 1974 |
The Stage I cars.......are fast, for big boats.

I have to admit. I worked at a Buick dealership in the 70's. I saw plenty of Stage I Buicks, but don't ever remember seeing a 1973 Stage I Riv. Probably some that came through, but I don't remember seeing one.
|
unless you saw the grille emb..you wouldnt know...if i remember right, its the only one on the car...
|
If I remember correctly in 70 the emblems were on the fenders. They were GS Stage 1 Riv's.

In '84-85 I bought a 1970 GS Riv. $700, 50,--- mi. Really nice. Raced a 308 Ferrari from a dead stop on Beach blvd. Had him off the start, but he pulled away no problem...car was way too heavy. But, I only paid about 14 cents a pound for my car, and it was like new.
