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.
