Up for auction is a Rare Driven Daily Survivor Buick Riviera.Starts right up and drives nice on both the highways and back roads. A menacing head turner with lots of pick up, get up and go.One of the most powerful standard true old 1960s engines that my mechanic has ever seen. Lots of 70 mph stretches of Nevada road near here and I have passed traffic quickly ;>) And the sound is a WOW! Detailed Model Information The 1967 Buick Riviera was the second year for the new body style which was longer, and heavier than the previous model. The Riviera was still described as a 2-door, hardtop, sport coupe even though it was more of a personal luxury vehicle. The Riviera did have a big, new 430ci -360hp- eight cylinder engine which moved this big car down the road pretty quickly. At a base price of $4,469.00 the Riviera was the most expensive and most popular Buick offered that year. The 1967 Buick Riviera, while it looked virtually identical to the 1966 (save for a grille and taillight touch-up), used an entirely different engine. The 1966 Riviera had carried over the 425-cid V-8 from 1963-1965, an engine that unbeknownst to the public had reached the end of its road. Buick sorely needed a bigger, better V-8. For 1967, the Riviera received modest changes like a new grille, side trim, tail lights, and a new motor. The original owner added an altimeter which is a highly unusual accessory. The most significant change for 1967 was the adoption of Buick's entirely new V8 of 430 cu in (7.0 L) displacement, 360 horsepower (270 kW) and 475 lb·ft (644 N·m) of torque to replace the old 425 "nailhead". The new engine, with greater power and torque on hand, represented a significant performance improvement. Gasoline mileage improved slightly with the new engine, though it remained gas-thirsty compared to modern cars. Powerful Disc brakes with Bendix four-piston calipers became optional for the front wheels but most Riviera continued to be ordered with Buick's aluminum brake drums which were almost as good. Cosmetically, changes were few, and were limited to the addition of a wide, full-width, center-mounted horizontal chrome grille bar that stretched over the headlight doors and outboard parking lights. The Riviera had full instrumentation.1967 saw the introduction of U.S. mandated safety equipment to improve occupant protection during a crash, including an energy-absorbing steering column, non-protruding control knobs, 4-way hazard flasher, soft interior surfaces, locking seat backs (on 2-door models), a dual-circuit hydraulic braking system (with warning light), and shoulder belt anchors. Of course Rivieras complied on all counts and featured the full range of safety features. Detailed Condition Information Engine: This engine was rebuilt about two years ago.

The paint is peeling and the original steel body is being exposed. Time for a repaint or drive as is!Interior: The interior sides are fine but the front seat has some rips and needs a cover.
