THIS COLOR!! WOW! 2,700 ACTUAL MILES! 1982 Buick Riviera!

[@LincolnRay]

A BEAUTIFUL Riviera Bill! From a period when car companies weren’t afraid of using color!

[@christianbugatticg]

Exactly!

[@Newscumout]

Or cuts or slants just like our music back in the '80s

[@paulparoma]

"Beautiful" is a gross understatement. A work of art, and simply stunning at that. In my opinion, this was one of the most gorgeous cars ever made anywhere in the world. A true timeless design tour de force. Stunning when new, even more stunning today.

[@christianbugatticg]

I have to agree!

[@frankartale1026]

These cars are overlooked. Absolutely beautiful !

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks!

[@thomashankins569]

This generation of Riviera, Toronado, and Eldorado are my favorites and this one is beyond exceptional for me! 👍👍❤️

[@christianbugatticg]

They are at the top for me. And honestly, I like the Toro and Riv better than the Eldo.

What an incredible car!! Color is great and the color of the vinyl roof and interior set it off perfectly. So much nicer than the colors of today's cars!

[@christianbugatticg]

Yes I agree!!

[@johnrand93]

Thank you for keeping the original tires on the car. It’s the only way to verify actual miles. Only haters want you to change them. When I’m buying these ultra low mileage cars, they must have the original tires. Congrats!!!!

[@christianbugatticg]

Yes, exactly right!

[@TargetedWestShow]

My friend Jimmy had a beige version, and we drove all over in that car, it was so damn smooth and quiet.

[@christianbugatticg]

GM was still pretty stinking good in the early 80's with their luxury cars!

[@andrewhatez7955]

The concept of retaining the original rubber is sound. Anyone can go out and find a nice current set of new rubber, however, going out to buy a pair of original rubber is much more challenging--if not impossible. You're a pro Bill, great job marketing all your inventory.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thank you! Some guys do not get it!

[@paulm6481]

Pink rose color. Very pretty.

[@christianbugatticg]

Truly amazing you didn't think for a second that I do separate videos on the interior. And once the headliner is installed I will post one.

[@KenS-z6r]

Not even a glimpse of the price either. LOL

[@terrymertz1923]

The roof and I interior are dark redwood. I had this color on a park avenue in 82 and it was a 1 yr only color!

[@BarbaraPape-y4g]

A fantastic colour that makes this car stand out and says buy me. I agree thtat keeping it all original is what the collectors want. I can't see anyone driving this car very far.

[@christianbugatticg]

I do agree.

[@lecadeau22201]

What a beautiful car. I would love to have it, but I would want to drive it (to the limited extent that I drive anywhere). 🤩

[@christianbugatticg]

I appreciate it!!

[@michaelwarner2434]

I had an 82 Regal t-type (Sport Coupe it said on the back) in that exact color. Loved that color and the sound was glorious. Of course the turbo went out at 15k miles. Nobody bothered to tell me that because it didn't have an intercooler you couldn't shut it down after racing around town.

[@christianbugatticg]

NICE car but stinks about the turbo. I assume they covered it under warranty?

[@splender88]

Wow that is an incredible looking car. If I had to critique anything it would be the panel gaps especially around the hood. The thing is that is the way they came from the factory.

[@christianbugatticg]

Yes yes, GM 1980's quality for you!

[@trevorjameson3213]

@@christianbugatticg It would be wrong to try to fix uneven panel gaps on the old cars because that's exactly how they were built. So I would not critique that. I loved those Buicks but really want to find an '81 Eldorado in black, if possible. Maybe someday I hope.

[@extman29]

Bill. You are a true class act. I love this car. Do not listen to the whiners. Your reason for not replacing the tires are totally justified. Just a stunning Riv.

Thank you Sir!!!

[@markhooper1352]

Exquisite in every respect Bill! I love how you respect and nurture the cars, nobody does it better. May I ask what you put on the vinyl top to treat or nourish it? I am looking for something for one of my vinyl tops, but I know you only use the best!

[@tenfourproductionsllc]

GM did so well with letting Olds, Buick and Cadillac having their own distinct styling on these cars and hit a grand slam with them.

[@christianbugatticg]

I do agree!

[@TomYpsilanti]

"Wouldn't your really rather have a Buick?" "When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them." This is a gorgeous colour, which I don't remember seeing before, but I'm sure it was used a bit in the early 80s. This will probably come up in the official description, but are those fiber optic lamp monitors on the tops of the front fenders? That was a really cool option on the more expensive GM cars.

[@christianbugatticg]

Thanks! And yes those are the fiber optic turn signal indicators on the fenders.

[@crownewourth1]

That colour!❤❤❤

[@christianbugatticg]

Stunning!

[@markcollins457]

When I lived in Florida I became aware of GM Florida cars, they were ordered in by the dealerships with custom colors and complimentary interiors that were unique to Florida and to this day I can still remember Cadillac Sevilles Eldorado's And Buicks with custom colors that stood out in the crowd not like the 6 shades of metallic Grey black & white we see as standard now with Painted black wheels.

[@christianbugatticg]

Nice.

[@johnmoore7525]

My buddies Buick regal, four-door. That was the color of his car. I don’t remember what year it was.. but I remember that color was the only car in the neighborhood that had that paint color.

[@christianbugatticg]

Nice, it is a great color!

[@timw8228]

I have to ask. Who recently passed away? I don't believe I have ever seen that color before. I see it was an exterior option back in '82. It looks like a shiney copper color, beautiful. Who do you get your fillers from if I may ask? I'd like to find some better than plastic or ABS. At one time I knew of one seller who had silicone fillers. They went out of business. I have an '84 Fleetwood Brougham that I had rigid fiberglass fillers put in that painted the best. The downside is if any bumper is hit they will break. I was going to use silicone but the auto body shop balked at painting those. Must be more difficult to paint, maybe.

[@christianbugatticg]

Nobody died that I am aware of.... And I got the fillers from E&K, they are suppose to be the best in the Industry.

[@timw8228]

@@christianbugatticg The kids just wanted it out of the garage? lol A Cadillac Fleetwood I once bought the daughter just wanted it out of the garage. Okay at that price out of your garage and into mine. I felt bad about what I paid for it for about 10 seconds.

I bought an '85 Rivera new when I got a sneak peek at the awful downsized "mini" '86 Riveras that were soon to be released (I wanted one of the last "real" Riveras and traded a '78 Buick LeSabre turbo V6 Sport Coupe in for it) and it had the same color vinyl top as this that matched the body color and had burgundy velour interior - mine also had the optional digital dash and a moonroof - loved those "R" opera lights in the sail panel. To this day, the most beautiful, elegant, quiet and smooth riding vehicle I've ever owned and never had any problems with it. I'm 67yo now and that beauty is but a pleasant memory and I now drive a Toyota Tundra pick-up, go figure! iviera

Buick did such a beautiful job replicating, while updating, the rear of the original Riv; it’s a shame they didn’t try to do something similar with the front end, instead of using a modified Electra-look from that car’s same generation at that time.
