Beautiful Buick Riviera in Midnight Blue and Silver Lower Accent

Description:This gorgeous and unique Riviera in Midnight Blue Metallic with optional lower trim in Sterling Silver has been meticulously maintained since it had a 2010 restoration. It has 173,867 miles but only 34,600 since its mechanical work and restoration from a previous owner with a love of Rivieras. It has a fantastic paint job in its original color.The restoration is intended to give this Riviera the exact look with all the original features as it came out of the factory and enter car shows.It has won the Buick Senior Preservation Award and has traveled to many National Buick and Riviera shows.Many interior and exterior parts were replaced or swapped with new or better condition to make this car look fresh and new. With only a few exceptions noted below, it still looks new and drives impressively. You are not going to find a better-looking Riviera from this era inside and out. Notice the depth and reflection from the deep glossy paint. All lenses, glass, chrome, and the Vinyl Landeau Roof are in excellent condition. It has averaged 3000 miles annually since its restoration from 2010 and has been well maintained with extensive documentation of much of the work and maintenance done to it.
The engine is one of GM’s all-time best and most durable, the Buick fuel-injected 3.8-liter engine. This original motor is still powerful and to ensure this car runs well for the future many related engine and mechanical parts such as exhaust, gaskets, radiator, and alternator have been replaced or repaired(transmission) to not only drive well, but look good for car shows. And there are plenty of spare parts included to help keep it looking great and running. The breaks and exhaust are in great shape. The car starts perfectly, and the automatic transmission w/overdrive shifts smoothly and has a great luxury highway ride yet handles well and is nimble around town.Please check the section below for mechanical areas that may need to be looked into.Also, just like the exterior, the interior looks outstanding thanks to meticulous care and swapping of panels or parts to look new. All the wood-like trim looks especially nice.
This coupe comes loaded with a sunroof, power windows, power steering, power brakes, power mirrors, power antenna, power locks, power seats, rear defogger, tilt steering column, and a Retrosound Bluetooth stereo that matches the original look and feel. This vehicle come with two sets of keys and remotes.It has been stored inside a garage for the last several years and is not a winter driver. It has no rust. Good whitewall tires with lots of life left in them. The leather seats are in very good condition and the dashboard and wood trim are excellent as is the carpets and custom floor mats.

Needs Attention:
•Occasional stalling: The car drives normally daily and idles fine but occasionally it will stall while driving.It always starts right back up with no further issues.There are no error codes related to it and I suspect it might be coil related but am not sure.This issue has appeared within the last year and I do believe it should be investigated.
•Periodic Service Engine light. This light does not stay on but periodically will light for a few seconds while driving and then go out.Could be an Oxygen sensor needing to be replaced.
•Rip on driver side door armrest, this is the only noticeable flaw in the interior.
•Antenna mast for radio does not raise.
•Cruise Control does not work. I changed the Cruise Servo Unit a few years ago and worked for about a year and unfortunately it stopped working again and I haven’t gotten around to looking into it.
