This 1982 Buick Riviera coupe was initially delivered to Jim Armstrong Buick of Hickory, North Carolina, and spent a decade in storage following the selling dealer’s acquisition in 2014. The car is finished in white over Maple leather and vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle. Equipment includes a power-operated white convertible top, contrasting pinstripes, 15″ chrome wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a four-note horn, automatic climate control, cruise control, Twilight Sentinel headlights, a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo, power-adjustable front seats, and power mirrors, windows, and door locks. This Riviera shows 1k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer in Massachusetts with a window sticker, the manufacturer’s literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.
Riviera coupes were converted to convertibles by American Sunroof Corporation when new, and this example is finished in white with a matching power-operated soft top. Exterior details include a hood ornament, contrasting pinstriping, dual power mirrors, bright rocker moldings, and chrome bumpers.
Chrome 15″ wheels are wrapped in 225/70 white wall tires. Power steering was standard, and braking is provided by discs all around.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in maple leather and vinyl upholstery, while woodgrain trim adorns the color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Appointments include six-way power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, Twilight Sentinel headlights, and a Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo as well as power windows and door locks.
The two-spoke steering wheel is mounted to a tilting steering column and fronts an 85-mph speedometer along with a fuel level gauge. The odometer indicates 1k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the selling dealer.
The 5.0-liter V8 features a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 140 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the front wheels via a four-speed automatic transaxle.
