    Joshua,
    Great car! I had a 69 Riviera for 10 years and just sold it with 50k on it. After researching and getting very fimilar with the car one thing I would definately recommend is getting a spare Fuel Pump. They are in the gas tank, which GM put only in the 69/70 Rivieras. They are available at Classic Buicks and you may find one locally but if you are going to drive the car to shows and fun you really need to have a spare. I sold mine to the new owner and he was very happy. The 69 is the last year for hidaway headlights and I would suggest that you make sure you lube all the rods that make the headlights go up and down. They had a tendency to stick and some times drop down. The canisters are very hard to find in good shape so if yours is ok keep them up. Enjoy the car... wish you had the 430 but they had their own issues.

    Best Regards,
