1983 BUICK RIVIERA CONVERTIBLE, EASY PROJECT, LOW MILES - This beautiful Riviera is one of 1,750 built in 1983.  It had the highest sticker price of any GM car sold that year.  This example has the 307 V8.  This particular car was sold new in Houston, TX.  It was shipped to me in WV over a year ago.  Since that time, the following have been replaced:  windshield, exhaust, bumper corners.  Also installed Coker American Classic tires.  This car has been sitting in the way since that time.  Therefore, I have decided to cut my losses and let her go.  Overall, it is a nice car that looks great.  It has very nice paint and chrome, nice straight body.  Interior is nice, but does have some imperfections:  slight crack in the dash pad and the driver's seat bottom has been repaired at some time, nice job, but slightly lighter in color, carpet is very nice and the door panels are also nice for the age.  The car drives, shifts and brakes fine; not sure about the cruise control or the A/C.  The A/C may need charged, but the heat and defog work.  The convertible top is in good condition.  it has no tears and raises and lowers fine.  The top does have some light staining which may scrub out.  You don't even notice it from 10' away.  The top boot is nice. 

Some of the items that need attention are: power antenna won't work; 6-way passenger seat doesn't move; the tilt works; power locks don't work; the right RR window will not raise or lower (relay, switch) - it just happened; the right hood hinge or prop rod needs replaced or adjusted, it hangs up a little when raising the hood.  There may be other small issues that I am not aware of since I have not really drove it much.  The car is really nice and solid underneath.  There are no rust issues or paint work needed, only a little mechanical time will be needed to have a nice Riviera Convertible.  Build sheet is "in-hand" along with the original manuals.

I reserve the right to end the auction early; although it has not been listed for sale on any other website or publication.  Car can be stored indoors for up to 30-days, but full pay is required in 7-days.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 304-261-1643.

Buick envisioning a refreshed Envision crossover

Tue, Sep 19 2017

Buick's first fully Chinese-built vehicle in the U.S., the Envision crossover, is now getting its very first refresh. Cars grow up so fast, don't they? There's no time to be wistful, though, so we need to take a look at this prototype. It looks like the Envision refresh is going to be very mild and focuses on strengthening the family resemblance between it and other Buicks. The waterfall grille now has a horizontal bar that intersects with the badge, as seen on every new and updated Buick since the latest LaCrosse. And although that badge is covered, we wouldn't be surprised if it changes from the all-silver design to the classic red, white and blue version that was reintroduced on the LaCrosse. The lower grilles have been changed, too. The outboard grilles that house the fog lights look smaller and less pronounced than on the current model, and the center piece appears to be thinner and wider. It also more naturally merges into the plastic air dam. The tail of this Envision, though more heavily camouflaged, also shows some minor updates. The most significant of them are the new taillights. They appear to have a similar boomerang shape as those on the LaCrosse, a distinct change from the ovular units of the current model. The lower edge of the bumper seems to have more of a faux diffuser look, and the exhaust tips now blend into the shape of the bumper, rather than ending in simple round shapes. Since this update is clearly a mild one, we would expect to see the new Envision on sale sometime next year, probably as a 2019 model. It will join a rather fresh Buick lineup alongside the new Regal and Enclave.

Buick working on Encore refresh

Tue, Jun 9 2015

It's been three years now since the model we know as the Buick Encore (sold overseas as the Vauxhall/Opel Mokka) first hit the scene. That makes it about due for a bit of a facelift, and judging from these latest spy shots, that's precisely what General Motors seems to be up to. The nose of this prototype (intriguingly wearing Buick badges but German plates) is all covered up, so it's hard to tell what Buick and its European counterparts have in store for the front-end restyling, but the fact that they've covered it so extensively tells us that somethings afoot. The tail should also get new lights and bumper as well. You can fully expect GM to take the opportunity to refresh the cabin while it's at it with tweaked ergonomics and new equipment. Meanwhile our sources tell us the 1.0-liter inline-three from the new Corsa could find its way under the Opel/Vauxhall's hood to join the current lineup of four-pots, but it's too early to say whether that engine might find its way across the pond to the Buick version as well.

Buick to use Velite name for its Cascada?

Mon, Dec 1 2014

Ever since Opel brought out the Cascada convertible last year, rumors have been flying that Buick would offer it Stateside – much like it does with the Insignia-based Regal and the Astra-based Verano. And now we might have our best clue yet as to what Buick might call it. According to GM Authority, General Motors has filed to use the name Velite on a new model. The name first appeared on a convertible concept unveiled over a decade ago at the 2004 New York Auto Show (pictured above), but GM reportedly opened an application to trademark the nameplate for production in 2011, seeking extensions on its application every six months since. Of course the fact that it's applied for its fifth extension (of a permissible six) doesn't necessarily mean that GM will ultimately bring the cabriolet to US showrooms, or that it will use the Velite name if it does, but the fact that GM is keeping the name alive could be a good sign. The market for relaxed four-seat convertibles has been shrinking, leaving it up to drop-top muscle cars like the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. But with entries like the Toyota Camry Solara, Volkswagen Eos and Chrysler 200 Convertible having dropped off the market, the Buick Velite (or Cascada, or whatever it's ultimately called) could have the sedate cabriolet segment all to itself – even if (or especially if) Lexus dealers aren't interested in touching it.
