Vehicle Description
First introduced in 1963, the Buick Riviera stunned the world with
its drop dead gorgeous styling, powerful engines and abundance of
luxury. Jaguar founder and designer Sir William Lyons said that the
designers had done "a very wonderful job," and Sergio Pininfarina
declared it "one of the most beautiful American cars ever built; it
has marked a very impressive return to simplicity of American car
design." Soldiering on for another eight generations, the Riviera
was the de facto flagship for the brand.
The 6th generation was introduced in 1979 and was the first from
wheel drive Riviera. It was also the first convertible GM made
since the Eldorado in 1976. All of them were sent to American Sun
Roof Company in Lansing, Michigan where the top was removed,
structure strengthened, and the final assembly of the top
mechanism, rear seat, and interior was finished. Only 1,750
convertibles were made in 1983. These cars had a lot of interest,
but did not sell many due to the price tag infringing uponm
Cadillac territory.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1983 Buick Riviera
Convertible for consideration. Finished in white with matching
white convertible top, this Buick is in nice shape overall. The
paint is pretty decent although the body has few dings and scrapes
here in there. The convertible top is in good shape and the
exterior features a rear luggage rack, dual spotlights, white wall
tires with wire wheel covers, and quad headlights. The interior
features nice maroon leather seats that are in good shape with just
normal amounts of wear. The dash is uncracked and the faux wood
trim is nice as well. This Riviera is powered by the upgraded
factory option 5.0L V8 engine and automatic transmission. This car
comes very loaded with features including air conditioning, leather
seats, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power steering, power windows,
power front seats with driver's memory, cruise control, power
convertible top, and 4-note horn.
Recently out of long term 21 year ownership, this Riviera is well
cared for and has received service work as needed.
