There were less than 1and#44;700 1983 Buick Riviera convertibles built with the desirable V8 engineand#44; which means the ones that survive in this kind of original condition today are quite rare. Soand#44; the value price on this low-production numbers-matching droptop is just the cherry on top. This Riviera convertible is a rare piece of expensive history. The American carmakers were not willing to get directly in the softtop game in the early 1980s. Plusand#44; few people were willing to pay nearly double the Riviera coupes price that it took to pluck a car off the assembly line and let the professionals at ASC do their custom softtop magic. But the few who did this ended up with a convertible that was like owning a fully custom car backed by a factory warranty. Thats why this special Buick has been cared for so welland#44; and the sheetmetal has stayed so straight. You can see this in the trim running down the sidesand#44; and bumpers that retain their bi-level design. All the emblems are presentand#44; lenses are beautifully clearand#44; and it even still has the original wire wheel covers with special center insignia. Overalland#44; this custom convertible presents very nicelyand#44; with paintwork that looks original enough that people will believe you have a rare survivor. The burgundy leather interior is a great complementing standout color to the bright white exterior. It appears to be originaland#44; and it still matches nicely on the seatsand#44; carpetsand#44; and dash. The burled walnut veneer is some of the most handsome trim for any car in the 80sand#44; and as expected with such an expensive convertibleand#44; it came loaded. This one has power seatsand#44; power windowsand#44; tilt wheeland#44; cruise controland#44; the original AM/FM/cassette stereoand#44; provisions for air conditioningand#44; and a power convertible top. In other wordsand#44; it has everything you want for a cool comfortable droptop cruiser. Under the hood is the optional 307 cubic inch V8. It looks so honest that we believe the mileage is correctand#44; and we suspect the powerplant is original to this 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 was to be the comfortable cruiser that took the place of the Cadillac convertible that ceased production a few years prior. Thats why it came with luxury driving features like the grand touring suspensionand#44; and four-speed overdrive automatic transmission. This is the kind of classic that youre not intimidated to take on the long tripsand#44; thanks to power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. This rare Riviera convertible has been well maintainedand#44; and it even comes with the receipts as proof. It will be hard to find a better deal on a low-volume vintage convertible out there.
