Vehicle Details
Listing Description
1985 Buick Riviera Convertible Extremely RARE TURBO Less than 45 of these Rivieras were produced!!!! ORIGINAL MILES! Immaculate condition inside and out!!! Great white and red color combination Air Conditioning Loaded with power options! 1985 was the last year for the Ole Gal. She was getting a little long in the tooth as the body style had been around now for 7 years. It was by far the most beautiful of all later year Rivieras to come out of Detroit as the 1986 was anything but. 1985 was mainly carry over, not much changed. This last year also saw a decrease in production, with only 400 Convertibles being built. Prices increased to $27,835.00 base with freight, a $1503.00 increase. The standard engine now, for the first time, was the 5.0 V8, as the 4.1 V6 was dropped from the Riviera line. Still available was the 3.8 Liter Sequential-port Fuel Injected Turbocharged V-6 engine option, while lower priced at $735.00, it still sold poorly and only 49 Riviera Convertibles received this engine. If you were to order a 1985 Buick Riviera Convertible loaded with all the options including the 3.8 Liter Sequential-port Fuel Injected Turbocharged V-6 engine, it would set you back a whopping $31,247.00! Not little money back in 1985, heck it isn't little money today. One thing all these Riviera Convertibles had in common was this; they were only available in 2 colors, White or Red Firemist, all came with a white vinyl top, 84 and 85 being the only years they were lined and all had the Maple (name used only in early 1982) or Claret Leather Interior. These two names were mostly the same color, very dark red, but the latter two years, 1984 and 1985 were a bit darker as GM changed its vendor that supplied the leather.
