One-Owner 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

In 1999, Buick said goodbye to the Riviera nameplate after a 34-year run by launching the limited-edition Silver Arrow. Just 200 units rolled off the assembly line, each finished in Sterling Silver Metallic, a color unavailable on standard Rivieras. Numbered plaques and distinctive “Silver Arrow” badging complemented embroidered headrests and unique emblems. Under the hood, every 1998 and 1999 Riviera featured a supercharged 3.8‑liter V6 which delivered 240 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Power flowed to the front wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission and was supported by hydraulic automatic level air suspension, magnetic variable steering, ABS, and a dual-zone climate control.

Purchased new by the seller, this 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow is number 31 of 200, presented in unaltered form aside from an upgraded Kenwood stereo system with backup camera and Bluetooth capabilities. Notably, the supercharger was recently replaced with a rebuilt unit, and the car is accompanied by a full set of service records dating back to new.

This 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow is now offered by its original owner with a CARFAX history report, service records from new, its original window sticker, a car cover, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller's name.

Additional Information 

From the seller, “This is one of the two favorite cars I ever owned, the other being a 1956 Buick Special Convertible. I love its shape, and it rides and handles like a dream. I've had it for 27 years and thought I'd keep it until I die. Now 85 years old, I decided to treat myself to one newer car; one that has more modern driver assists, to help me drive out my days with some extra automated eyes on the road so to speak. I will miss it!”
