Vehicle Description
This 1967 Buick Rivera is a luxury cruising machine, and it has
been preserved to stay that way. And because this was the year for
the new V8, it's great to have that big motor a numbers-matching
unit. In fact, the more you dig into the details, the more you're
going to discover a loaded classic at a value price.
The factory-correct Arctic White paint is the perfect color
backdrop for the chiseled front end, with razor-edged fenders and
hidden headlights. And the tinted windows provide quite a nice
contrast. 1967 was a great design that kept familiar cues from the
iconic '65 Riviera, including hidden headlights, but this model
year had a larger and more unique presence. This is an intricate
brightwork setup with the streak running down the hood, delicate
trim, and center-mounted horizontal grille bar that stretched over
to the headlight doors. And all this look is complete and nice,
right down to those form-fitting bumpers that look like they were
recently re-chromed. Even the wheel package is looking bright and
correct, and it includes whitewalls that go well with the paint. So
this has a well-done and well-coordinated total look.
The interior has a very 1960s-cool look to it. The leather seats
with velour inserts kicks off a two-tone that coordinates with the
door panels, carpeting, seatbelts, and dash. There's plenty of room
for family and friends, but as a true personal luxury cruiser, the
driver is always king. That's why you have a fold-down armrest for
individual comfort. The dash is an exercise in both an artful
presentation and driver dominance. That's why the gauge panels
houses everything from the factory AM/FM radio to the cool
horizontal speedometer. Power windows means you don't have to leave
the driver's seat to show off the full pillarless hardtop profile,
and cold-blowing factory air conditioning means you can do this in
the summertime without breaking a sweat.
The dark engine bay funnels your attention to the Dante red motor
in the middle. And that's a good thing. Buick's 430 cubic-inch V8
was all-new for this year, and it became legendary for its massive
torque production. So it's great to be able to point so easily to
this numbers-matching motor in the engine bay. Topped with a
remanufactured Rochester four-barrel carburetor, this big V8 moves
this big Buick with the kind of power delivery that's equal parts
muscle car and luxury coupe. Plus, there have been more recent
investments in places like the ignition, alternator, belts, hoses,
and brake booster. So it's a smooth runner that also delivers a
great tune from the dual exhaust. Power steering, power brakes, and
three-speed automatic transmission combine to deliver an effortless
driving package you expect from an upper-class Riviera like
this.
This is a high style, big power, and highly authentic Buick, that
will make you the hit at any cruise-in. It's a total package that
you know you need to get your hands on right now. Call today!!!
