Seven Hills Motorcars is tremendously proud to offer this absolutely stunning and original low mileage 1979 Buick Riviera. This Buick is in amazing original condition with only 63,478 original miles. The car looks beautiful, runs great, and drives awesome. This survivor Riviera is a time capsule and an investment grade classic. The car has great lines and is totally solid; one can even see how good the car is underneath in the many photos of the car on a lift. This is an excellent opportunity to own an exceptional Buick that is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value.

This Riviera is finished in the beautiful, highly desirable color combination of Medium Green (44) over Green Crushed Velour Cloth with a White vinyl top. This is the correct and factory original color scheme as verified by the codes on the trim tag, which is pictured in this ad. The colors on this car are truly striking and I cannot tell you how much attention and compliments this color gets. The very low original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car, but also the clear Ohio title that states the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video, and information in this ad to get a true sense of clean, nice, and original this Cadillac coupe really is.

We have driven this car about 20 miles recently. During that time that car was completely reliable, has no issues, and was a true pleasure to drive.

As a side note, this Buick is not a dealer auction vehicle. We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the Riviera, just give us a call.

Exterior

The Medium Green (44) exterior is in excellent condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a smooth finish. Both doors open and shut nicely and do not sag. The chrome and other bright work is in great condition with a brilliant finish and no pitting. The vinyl top looks nice with no holes or rips. The original hubcaps are in great condition with a nice finish and no curb rash. The wide whitewall tires from Coker are like new and are correctly sized 215/75R15. There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. As one would expect from a paint job with this many years on it there is a small area on the hood and some other tiny imperfections around the car that were too faint to show up in pictures, but nothing that is really noticeable from about five or ten feet away. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car it is very clean underneath. The bottom of the car is totally solid; the floor pans are solid and all of the body panels and sheet metal are original. We have included specific photos of the lower quarter panels, rockers, frame, spring perches, and other areas most prone to rust to show how clean this car is.

Interior

The Green Crushed Velour Cloth interior of the Riviera is in outstanding condition. The seats are in excellent shape and look just as nice in person as they do in the photos with no excessive wear, holes, or split seams. The seats are not worn in the typical area where the driver gets in and out. Please note that these appear to be the original seats and skins, not some cheap aftermarket covers or replacements. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The woodgrain inside is in excellent shape with no delamination. The chrome and bright work on the inside of the car looks wonderful. The carpet is also in great condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The original floor mats are also included with the car. The dash and console are in great shape with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The door panels are in good shape overall. The driver's door panel is not cracked in the typical spot where the driver's elbow sits. Please note that both seat belts work and retract properly. This is a common problem on 1970's GM cars and an issue many buyers do not think to check. This car has never been smoked in; there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes at all. This is one of the best original interiors we have ever seen in person in a classic Buick and is a true study of how these cars looked from the factory.

The trunk also looks fantastic and is highly detailed. The carpet is in amazing condition as are the fragile cardboard liners. It is also totally complete with the space saver spare tire (which has never been used), inflator bottle, jack, jack base, and lug wrench/jack handle

Buick interiors from this era are not known to wear well and the excellent condition of this original interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the very low original mileage. The interior looks just as great in person as it does in the photos.

Mechanical

This Buick Riviera is in excellent mechanical condition and it is ready to be enjoyed. As stated above the car was recently driven about 20 miles with absolutely no problems. The 5.7L V8 engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. The car is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and floats down the highway. In the video in this ad one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no strange noises or vibrations and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly throughout the power band. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. It runs cool and does not overheat. The original air ride suspension has been gone through and works perfectly as it should. Also, the engine compartment is clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos.

The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights, dash lights, indicators, wipers, power windows, power locks, both power seats in all six directions, and rear window defroster. Even very detailed items like the trunk light and key buzzer still work; eve the clock still works and keeps time. The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. The air conditioning itself works and blows ice cold. One can observe the a/c compressor clicking on and engaging properly in the video. The radio works well, get good reception, and the power antenna can be seen going up and down in the video. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car.

Overall Condition



Overall, this 1979 Buick Riviera is in amazing condition and truly an investment grade classic. This car is particularly rare and extra desirable with the extraordinary original condition, low mileage, and the beautiful and stunning color combination. Low mileage and original examples of classic Buicks are hard to find and draw a huge premium in the current market. Originality is extremely important in classic car pricing and as one can see this car is very original and correct.

This Riviera always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is very apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owner. The prices of Buicks have increased drastically over the past years, especially for premium examples like this car. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.

Other sellers are not taking the time to show the car in such great detail to give you all of the photos, and video showing the car driving and all of the functions operating. Any buyer should expect and ask for this level of detail and disclosure from any seller.

Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call with any questions.
