Hello,
Here is a chance to own the best 1983 Riviera in the country. It's almost new! 4400 miles is all it has on it. I purchased it from the original owner. He purchased the car new and drove it on a long vacation. From then on it sit in his car collection which was climate controlled. I purchased it from him several years ago. Since then it has sit indoors in my car collection. It's been fun to own but now I am ready to have something new so I am offering it up for sale. This is a rare chance to own a like new 30 year old car.
Body:
All origianl. In great shape with no visible dings or scratches. Vinyl top looks new. Chrome looks new. Trim and rubber look new. The original bumper fillers are still in the car which is unbelievable considering they all fall apart in a short period of time. A 10 out of 10 in my opinion.
Interior:
Beautiful color! All I can say is it looks just like the day Detroit built it. Loaded with options. Even has a CB radio (last year offered). This is one of the most comfortable vehicles you will ever sit in. Everything works.
Underhood:
All original. Belts, hoses, plugs, wires....it's all the way it came from Detroit except for the battery. V8 automatic car. It looks just as good as the day it was built.
Trunk:
It's all original with everything in it that came with it new. Just like the day it came from the factory.
Undercarriage:
Extremely clean. Slight surface rust on exhaust and items that were never coated or painted. Probably had surface rust on these items on the dealer's lot since I have seen many on the lot just like this before. Factory undercoating. Original tires...yes...the ones that came from the factory with it and they look new still! The cleanest undercarriage on any original 30 year old car you will ever find!
This car is a time capsule. It's the closest thing to a new 3 decade old car you will ever see. It was top of the line in the day and designed for the car customer that had luxury and class in mind. Good luck bidding and don't miss out on something you will never be able to buy again.
There have been some questions about the originality of this car. I have been all over this car and see nothing but the way it came from Detroit. No body or paint work appears to ever have been done. Inside the doors and the truck are all original paint. Nothing has been done to this car.

Opel readying Adam model with SUV cues
Fri, 11 Oct 2013The Opel Adam, the microcar of General Motors' European subsidiary, has seen its sales cool significantly since it first hit the market in the United Kingdom and Europe, but a push is reportedly under way that just might be enough to get the stylish, little car moving again.
Using the Opel Adam Rocks Concept as a template, Opel will ruggedize the Adam, so that it might compete with the growing herd of city cars that sport SUV styling, like the Volkswagen Cross Up and Fiat Panda 4x4, according to a report from Automotive News Europe. Sporting a bumped-up ride height and tougher body work, it's a dedicated soft-roader, but will freshen the Adam's lineup and, hopefully, broaden its customer appeal.
The Adam Rocks, according to IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher, should also make some more coin for GM's struggling European arm. "Automakers are happy to meet demand for SUV and crossovers as the customer pays a premium," Fletcher told ANE. And although the Rocks might have been planned from the start as a production vehicle, the timing, with the Adam's sales slowdown, doesn't seem like a coincidence.
Is Buick America's most daring mainstream car brand?
Wed, Jan 21 2015Considering Buick as an adventurous automaker seems a little odd at first thought. But with little fanfare over the last several years, the marque is transforming itself from a brand often associated with elderly drivers to a nameplate willing to take chances in niche segments. The gamble is already paying off with 2014 sales up 11.4 percent in the US to 228,963 cars. Given recent product launches, this experimentation is only likely to continue. The key to the transformation at Buick is its willingness to explore the so-called white space, according to Automotive News; the term refers to niches in the market without rivals as a challenge. In addition, the brand's position in the near-luxury space means that its products are cross-shopped by a large swath of customers. Without having a specific competitor, Buick has more room to experiment within its segment. "Designers love designing Buicks because it's not a paint-by-numbers brand," said Andrew Smith, director of design at Buick and Cadillac, to Automotive News. The company's strategy of going where others haven't is best exemplified by the Encore. The subcompact, luxury crossover came to market early, and Buick found serious success with it. The tiny CUV was the automaker's fastest growing model last year with a 53 percent gain and 48,892 units sold. With the test a triumph, the Encore recently got a sibling in the US in the form of the Chevrolet Trax. The upcoming Cascada is taking a similar approach. The non-sporty convertible segment is practically empty in the US, and this slightly redesigned product from Opel has the opportunity to become a leader in its niche. Of course, Buick's biggest recent surprise was the Avenir concept at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The car's swooping shape and use of materials earned it two EyesOn Design Awards against some tough competition. While the company's intentions for this flagship sedan aren't entirely clear yet, the vehicle does "test some of the future design language that will come on the next generation of Buicks," according to brand boss Duncan Aldred to Automotive News, which is definitely something to look forward to.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
