Cruisin Classics is excited to present to you today this rather rare 1983 Buick Riviera T-Type! Most folks remember the Grand Nationals and Regal T-Types of the 1980's, but few recall that this turbo-treatment was available on the Riviera as well. This car is one of only 1,331 T-Type Rivieras sold in 1983 and it comes to us today with only 62,259 actual miles! This Riviera looks spectacular in its original color of Blue (code 27) and it's obvious from the first look that it has been a garage-kept car its whole life. The paint is in high driver-level condition, but the hood and windshield valence appear to be an ever-so-slightly different shade than the rest of the car. Up front are side-by-side quad headlights set in bright bezels flanking a vertical chrome grill with "Riviera Turbocharged" badge. Above, on the hood, is a vertical "R" hood ornament – for a classy look. The front chrome bumper gleams in the light and features a black rubber edge guard and bumperettes in front. Around the side, you'll find gold pinstriping running down the upper body to accent the body lines as well as a chrome and blue body side molding running from wheel to wheel. Brilliant brightwork is everywhere with a full-length chrome rocker cover, wheel lip molding, door handles, window trim, door edge molding, and vinyl top surround. Both fenders wear "Riviera Turbocharged" badges and both sides sport body-color side mirrors. If all this chrome doesn't catch the eye, the incredibly realistic faux convertible top certainly will. The top is a light blue vinyl in fantastic condition and it looks so real you'll find yourself checking it twice – it even has simulated "bows" for visual effect. Around back you'll find a flat back window with rear defrost, gold pinstripes across the lip of the trunk lid, large rectangular tail lights with "R" logos in the centers, a "Riviera T-Type" badge, and another beautiful bumper. This whole package sits atop factory styled aluminum wheels with "R" centercaps wrapped in Custom 428 A/S Tires. Under the hood lies a 3.8 liter V-6 with a turbocharger mated to a 4-speed overdrive transmission. The engine bay is tidy and completely stock with a logo sticker still on the turbo intake.
