1982 Buick Riviera 2 Dr Hardtop Coupe
VIN# 1G4AZ57Y9CE441423
For sale is a privately owned 1982 Buick Riviera, 2dr hardtop coupe with the original Light Jadestone paint, Luxury Trim interior and only 75,920 original miles!
This antique is a 100% complete turn-key, ran weekly to keep motor fresh, recently serviced and drives like a dream. Please note, this is not a showroom car, but a great project car for the Buick enthusiast. A little tlc and this car can be perfect!
Car has had only 3 owners since originally purchased in 1982, clean PA title in-hand, exempt mileage status, always garage kept/covered, 1 set of keys, non-smoker and no pets. The antique plate will be transferred with the car so it’s permanently registered and is yearly inspection exempt.
The body and frame are straight, no damage, dents, or dings except for 1 small location on the front right side of the grille above the headlight. This was caused by a minor low speed deer collision but was never fixed.
Paint is in overall good condition for its original age and has minor knicks, rock chips, scratches and paint imperfections, but no rust or rot. There’s minor surface rust on the undercarriage as expected. Frame, door jambs, floor pans, trunk pan and rocker panels are all original and in amazing condition with no issues. Rear bumper has 1 small areas of chrome rot on the bottom underside of each corner.
Interior is original and in good condition, no rips, tears or holes in seat upholstery, carpeting is good and cleaned, all original stamped glass, factory radio is present and works and has all factory cigarette lighters. Steering wheel plastic has small cracks on both sides in the same location. Front dashboard has 3 cracks from sun over the years and headliner is sagging and needs replacing. The driver’s side window seal is torn on the vertical edge but does not leak. The hardtop has a small rip on the left side but can be easily repaired. The car has never been driven in the rain so repairing it wasn’t a priority.
The factory 5.0L V8 engine has recently been serviced and the following parts have been replaced: new gas tank, hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter, battery, belts, hoses, air filter, fresh oil change and original carb was replaced. Factory automatic transmission shifts smoothly with no issues or leaks. Exhaust has been replaced from headers back with no rot or leaks. Original shocks were replaced with Steady Rider gas shocks.
All gauges, signals, electrical and mechanical components work flawlessly except for the under hood light. A/C system is in place and physically works but does not blow cold air, just needs to be charged.
Newer P225/70/R15 white wall tires rolling on factory rims & hub caps. Car has original owner’s manuals, jack, spare tire and lug wrench.
No low-ball offers, arm-chair appraisers or scammers entertained. Vehicle is being sold "As-Is" condition and no warranties implied. Serious inquiries only, thank you. Please call or text for further information.
