Vehicle 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!
