This 1979 Buick Riviera Turbo S Type, with a mere 8,858 believed
actual miles, exemplifies GM's luxury and performance engineering.
The light blue metallic paint accentuates the coupe's sleek lines
and distinctive Buick styling. The S Type package adds a
performance edge with unique badging and spoked wheels fitted with
215/70R15 Tiger Paw tires featuring thin whitewalls, while the
chrome trim shines with minimal flaws.
The blue cloth interior reflects the car's low mileage. Comfortable
bucket seats offer power adjustments for the driver and passenger.
Wood accent trim elevates the cabin's ambiance. The dash features
factory gauges and an AM/FM cassette stereo with 8-track
functionality. Luxury features include power windows, locks, tilt
steering, and rear defogger. The factory air conditioning,
converted to R134a, keeps the cabin cool.
A 3.8L powers this Riviera turbocharged V6 engine coupled with a
3-speed automatic transmission driving the front wheels. This
powertrain previews the performance that would evolve into the
Grand National and GNX. The engine compartment retains a clean,
factory look. The torsion bar front suspension and independent rear
with factory air ride enhance handling. Four-wheel power disc
brakes provide effective stopping power.
