1967 Buick – Riviera, Gold on Gold, base model, Power windows, Power brakes, power Steering, Power master seat switch (seat motor drive non-operational), AM/FM factory radio (turns on but no audio), Roll over speedometer, electric hide-away lights and Air Conditioning (not connected). Has steering wheel hand shifter, tilt steering wheel, original console, V-8 engine 430 cu in (7.0 liter) displacement, 360 horsepower, and 475 lb-ft of torque Buick Wildcat big block. Has 73,336 odometer miles showing (I drive this Buick daily so the mileage may change). Engine was re-built in 2005 by previous owner, and when I bought it the odometer marked 52,340 miles. It comes with the owner's manual and Strato-bench seat with center armrest. Vehicle had been driven only during weekends and for special occasions and always garaged since 2006, until 2011. Much work has been done to the vehicle since then (some notes are in the vehicle), vehicle body has minimal rust for a 46 year old classic, and the upholstery shows some ware & tear of time (see pictures). Maintenance has been general: Oil change, tune-ups, and new tires. Overall this Buick runs and drives beautifully; a total head turner when cruising down the highway and a smooth ride. It is a very fast ride with a lot of muscle, hence the term: muscle car. Other than the above, this Riviera is a good looking ride and mostly original, including the Chrome wheels and hubs (I estimate about 80%) except for the paint. The white wall tires were replaced recently as shown in the pictures. This is a rare car and becoming rarer and more valuable every year. Collectors are beginning to buy these Buick Riviera classics and are becoming scarce in the market place; as I’m sure you all know that to be a fact, therefore your interest in bidding. This classic deserves a collector that has the will to restore a classic beauty. Thank you for bidding. TAGS: 1966-1967 The Riviera was redesigned for the 1966 model year. It retained its cruciform frame, powertrain, and brakes, but it wore a longer, wider, and more curvaceous and streamlined body style. A notable styling point was the absence of vent windows, a feature GM had introduced with a flourish in the 1930s. Headlamps remained concealed pivoted up above the grille when not in use. The 1967 Buick Riviera retained a conventional rear wheel drive layout and was now some 200 pounds (91 kg) heavier, so acceleration with the unchanged 425 engine was slightly slower. The Gran Sport package remained available as an option. Quick Specs: Inside, the four-place cabin with front and rear bucket seats and center console was replaced by a choice of bucket seats or conventional bench seats as standard equipment, making the Riviera a full six-passenger car for the first time. Optionally available was a Strato-bench seat with armrest or Strato bucket seats with either a short consolette or a full-length operating console with a "horseshoe" shaped floor shifter and storage compartment. Both the buckets and Strato-bench seat were available with a reclining seat option for the passenger's side. Sales for 1966 rebounded to 45,308, a new record. 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 4 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 bars that stretched over the headlight doors and outboard parking lights. Sales eased to 42,799 for the 1967 model year. Source: Wikipedia, 2011 AS IS - NO WARRANTY : This vehicle is being sold as is, there is with no warranty, expressed, written, or implied.
