Hello fellow forum members. I am joining your site as I have purchased a 1997 Supercharged Riviera with
48K miles on it. It has a Maroon exterior with the Tan interior, moonroof, but no memory seats. Nor does it have electrically heated seats as it was a Florida car.

A previous owner has installed the FULL wood trim kit including the outside arm rests in the back seat.
I previously owned a `93 Riviera and loved it so much I went on the hunt for the last body style model.
I found this one on E-Bay in Florida and bought it. Check out the pictures I will post in the proper section per the guidlines and rules. Yes, I actually read them!

I bought it and had it shipped. I didn't get to see it in person for almost 6 months as I was working in Germany until the 9th of October. It is in pretty good condition. But not as nice as it was represented. It needs a new PWR steering pump and it smells like the heater core may be leaking a little bit inside the heater box as it has that smell inside.

Nice colour. I drive by your area fairly regularly. Beautiful part of the USA.
