| Does a place like this exist that would only service this vehicle? I'm talking the works from mechanical, body, electrical, and even custom jobs.
Ready to receive some realistic responses about this... | |

| A little bit more than 120k Gen 8 Rivieras were made. 20+ years ago. Riviera never achieved status of an "exotic" or "classic" car (yet?). And it isn't much different from other Buicks of the era. Doesn't it answer your question? | |

| They would be 142% out of business at least a decade ago. | |

Ready to receive some realistic responses about this... Mechanical - there's so much common with other GM of that era, I would not worry about this except that the alignment can't be lazy when lining up the steering wheel. Gotta use a little bubble level. Body - a good body shop knows how to deal with the unique structure, and to weld in a patch for the hinge landings for the trunk. Electrical - probably your best bet is get the FSM and learn it yourself, and, don't add accessories (he he). Custom jobs - again, it's still a GM car. If you find someone with an affinity for an experience with late '90s GM FWD cars powered by the 3800 you're probably fine. I think the technical term is "GM Gearhead." Be sure to leave a copy of the factory manual set in the trunk... | |
