1983 Buick Riviera

Description

Personal luxury coupes with V8 power are always in style, so when you have a 1983 Buick Riviera as nicely presented as this one, you know it's something special.

You know you like that metallic gray color, and we do too. It has an interesting depth that brings out silver undertones when the sunlight hits it. Of course, it also doesn't hurt that this coupe looks like it has been treated with the utmost care. In fact, we even believe the paint to be the original application. The Riviera was always meant to be a statement of elegance – that's why it has such a graceful wave-like profile. Not only does the pinstripe highlight this, but also the color matches the half-vinyl roof. Plus, with bright chrome bumpers, equally brilliant wire wheel covers, and exclusive R-badging surrounding them, this is what classic luxury should be.

Those solid doors swing wide for a dramatic reveal of a time capsule interior. The light gray velour has a velvet-like touch that we all remember from a premium 1980s machine. It nicely coordinates with the door panels and dash pad for an unmistakable well-preserved factory appearance. This is joined with the burled walnut veneer on all of these surfaces to create one of the most handsome interiors ever created in the era. The rear can seat three, or you can fold-down the armrest for individual comfort. Up front this is a true grand touring machine with individual buckets, an adjustable armrest, center console, and your seat even power adjusts to the ideal setting. From this command position you have an easy reach to all the features such as the power windows, power locks, tilt wheel, cruise control, factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning. You've also probably spotted the sunroof. It's a rare feature that adds even more luxury and distinction to this example.

Under the hood is the optional 307 cubic inch V8. Just like the rest of this luxury coupe, it looks exceptionally factory-correct and exceptionally preserved (it's even believed to be original to the car.) The V8 motor was a valuable piece to give the Riviera the right kind of torque to move it around with authority. The attitude on this one is a comfortable cruiser that could even rival its relatives at Cadillac. That's why it came with grand touring features like the fully independent suspension and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. This is the kind of classic that you're not intimidated to take on the long trips thanks to power steering and front disc brakes.

This Riviera makes a great candidate for the enthusiast that is looking for classic luxury to cruise around town. It runs smoothly and has the vintage luxury style that generations have grown to love. Don't miss your opportunity to pick up a bargain classic that will give you many years of enjoyment. Call now!
