1985 Buick Riviera Description

Buick Riviera. Stated 142K mile but odometer only goes to 99K so shows 42K. Condition is Used.35 years old, original condition, less roof (was hardtop coupe), and may have been repainted at some point. I have owned it 17 years and only put about 10K miles on it.Has been garage kept since roof removal – about 10 years. Has not been on the road the last couple years. I finally got around to changing out the front brake calibers which were dragging, and also added new rotors and proportioning valve. I even fixed the drivers door which now opens.
Runs and drives fine. I recall that the emergency brake might be sticky (probably the cables).It has also always had an oil leak since I have owned it, probably at rear mainseal. Just one area starting to rust under the paint (see pic behind front right wheel). I recall a rear body mount may be bad as well from rus - floors solid. It has a few small dentson top surfaces, probably a combo of some hail and the branch that fell messing up the roof. Auto leveling rear shocks replaced with standard air shocks (adjust height with pressure). Chrome is original and OK. Replaced failed plastic bumper fillers with fiberglass soon after I got it. Last of the V8 Interceptors… I mean front wheel drives… (Olds 307 w/ 1985 state of the art Quadrajet Carb.).

Has radio with cassette player. Good 10+ footer… Get the top down fun and style of an expensive real convertible at a fraction of the cost. Includes custom snap-on tonneau cover, just in case it needs to sit out in the rain. Lap belts only. Leather wrapped wheel. Rear leather seats are OK, front not so much. Cracked dash has an aftermarket cover.
