Vehicle Description
Some may say the Buick Riviera was dead after the mid 1970s, but
examples like this 1980 Buick Riviera S-Type would beg to differ.
You didn't read that wrong, and it isn't a T-Type misprint-this is
an S-Type! This beautiful front-wheel-drive classic is set up right
and equipped with a couple of goodies sure to make any staunch
rear-wheel-drive enthusiast consider it.
The first thing that catches anyone's eye about this car is the
gorgeous beige and dark blue two-tone paint job. A combination that
may sound odd to the ear looks stunning to the eye. You won't hear
anything but compliments cruising in a beauty like this! Originally
manufactured as a slick top, the current owner of this Buick had a
vinyl top added for a classy, sleeper look. Having certainly seen a
repaint in its lifetime, the current coat has a like-new sheen to
it. Finishing off the classic Buick look is a set of factory wire
wheel covers. But don't be fooled; this is not your grandmother's
car.
We'll just cut right to the chase and tell you what makes this car
so special. Though standard equipment was a turbo-charged V6 (which
is cool in its own right), the Oldsmobile 350 Rocket V8 was
available as optional equipment. Yep, the original owner of this
car sprung for the V8! Coupled to a THM325 transmission, this FWD
beauty is a comfortable cruiser. Those who don't like FWD can do
what they like, but the extra legroom afforded by the lack of a
driveshaft does not go unnoticed.
Speaking of legroom, the interior of this Buick is incredibly
spacious given it is a mid-sized car. The interior remains largely
stock and unmodified with the exception of the welcome addition of
custom cupholders and an aftermarket stereo. Truly as comfortable
as the come, this Buick is a mini-land yacht ready to cruise
anywhere you want to go. It has a great exhaust note that has a
nice rumble, but isn't overwhelming. This is one cushy cruiser!
Overall, the interior is in great original condition and shows
minimal wear. According to the owner, the mileage is accurate, but
we do not have any solid documentation on hand to back up this
claim aside from handwritten notes from previous owners.
If you're looking for something rare, unique, and comfortable, this
old Buick may just fit the bill. You'll have a hard time finding
another like it! Don't miss out!
