Vehicle Description
Rare, interesting, luxurious and affordable... you may not think you could get all that in one vintage convertible. But this 1983 Buick Riviera convertible with only 72,621 miles from new, has a V8 that is perfect for cruising and a rarity that will make everyone take notice. Buick did not produce convertibles at the factory in 1983, instead Buick contracted with ASC (American Sunroof Corporation) to create the convertibles. Only a handful of wealthy people were willing to pay nearly double the Riviera coupe's price that it took to pull a car off the assembly line and let the GM authorized professionals at ASC do their custom soft top magic. But the few who did, ended up with a convertible that was like owning a fully custom car backed by a factory warranty. There were less than 1,700 examples of the 1983 convertibles built with the desirable V8 engine, which makes this one a rare piece of Buick history. That's why this special Buick has been cared for correctly. The white paint has a nice gloss and the full-length burgundy pinstripe highlights how straight the sheet metal really is. That distinctly-colored pinstripe also goes nicely with the new full burgundy soft top. The care is also in the details such as an investment in re-chroming the bumpers and a recently replaced windshield. The original wire wheel covers with special center insignia look great combined with the BF Goodrich red-line radial tires. Rare convertible 5.0 V-8 engine 4-speed automatic transmission Less than 73,000 miles from new Leather interior BF Goodrich red-line tires Factory digital dash Four-wheel disc brakes In the same way the burgundy top looks great against the body, so does the burgundy leather interior. The car has been driven and carefully enjoyed over the years. The luxurious interior featuring plush carpet and plenty of wood-like trim are among some of premium features on this rare convertible. This is loaded with power front seats, power windows, tilt wheel, cruise control, the Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo and a power convertible top. The cool digital dash layout and even the air conditioning controls are 1980s retro-future cool (it will need servicing before blowing cold again.) Under the hood is the optional 307 cubic inch V8. The V8 engine was the right choice to give the Riviera the right kind of torque to move it around with authority. It makes for a strong and smooth classic. There are also great all-around driving features like the four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes and a fully independent suspension. Distinct, well equipped and built to drive - a 1983 Buick Riviera convertible like this is a rolling distinction that will always have a story to tell. Call today! |
