Buick 1963-1980 – 2021 Market Review

2021 Market Review - Buick 1963-1980

Numbers of available cars at present are a bit skimpy. Rivieras of all kinds in the vicinity of $50,000 should sell, but $100,000 for a 1970s boattail is extreme. 1960s Skylark and Electra hardtops cost $20,000 less than a Riviera, with convertibles and two-door Wildcats in the $40-50,000 bracket.

Australia doesn’t see a lot of GS Skylarks, but $80-100,000 asking prices do align with the money being asked by US vendors for similar cars.
