Vehicle Description
1967 Buick Riviera
Buick is a modern luxury brand offering vehicles with sculpted
designs, luxurious interiors with thoughtful personal technologies,
along with responsive-yet-efficient performance.
For the bosses and bankers, most muscle cars were for kids. If you
wanted performance and style, and you could pay the premium, you
could find yourself in the seat or this 1967 Buick Riviera. With
super fly styling, hidden headlights and angled in corners for the
front, and a sexy angled rear window, vinyl top, and Coke bottle
design, along with the luxury interior and high performance, you
have arrived!
Exterior
Inspired by Bill Mitchell's love of hand-built London coaches, the
second generation Riviera features a classy body shell that conveys
a sense of style and sophistication perfectly befitting its exotic
name. The incredible shell you see here, a stunning Riviera silver
survivor, wears completely original aesthetics that have been
exceptionally maintained. Consistently providing its various owners
with rock-solid reliability and a sense of custom-tailored comfort,
the car has never been separated from its chassis. Original chrome
and stainless, which exhibit minimal signs of wear, show almost as
well as the day they left the dealership. Presently, this Buick's
desirability as something that's as rare as it is unique is both
genuine and fitting. Gone is the boxy look that overtook most
comparable models of the era, and sleek sexy design overwhelms the
viewer. Standard Buick rally wheels are on all 4 corners, and
chrome trimmings are beautiful, definitely a shower and a goer.
Interior
Swinging the doors and we have a fine mix of smooth shiny black
vinyl covering molded armrests and wide insets of chrome and
polished aluminum trimmings. Housed here are the window toggles,
seat adjusters, and mirror joystick. Plenty of power conveniences
befitting the luxury feel of the exterior, but still maintaining
its sporty styling. A low back black vinyl bench seat with tuck and
roll stitching and a large central armrest are noted for the front
passengers. The rear has a luxurious bench in matching style to the
front bench that stretches comfortably from door to door and
includes a centrally located speaker in the upper. The original
black angled dash has all the correct and looking good
instrumentation, and controls, as well as the string wheel from the
factory. Black carpeting for the floors and a black headliner is
above.
Drivetrain
Under-hood is the original 430ci V8, topped with a 4-barrel
carburetor. An automatic Super Turbine 400 3-speed transmission is
on back, and spins a 3.07 rear axle, and all is looking very
original in this bay.
Undercarriage
Let's use the word "spiffy" to describe the underside. All rust
free, black surfaces and solid outer frame construction with an
added X frame in the center. Independent front suspension, and a 4
link with coil springs for the rear provide the ride. A clean rust
free exhaust and no leaks seen on this super-fly.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and after a warm up it was off to the test track,
where me and my cohort both took turns driving, and looking like a
million bucks. Snappy acceleration, bias free panic braking. The
air conditioning blows cold. The rear power windows would not work
from any control position. A good time was had on this test
drive.
This Riviera is a phenomenal classic. Its killer Wildcat V8 will
cruise effortlessly at will, and its slick body and first class
interior are ready to garner serious stares. With plenty of GS
models around, this rare item is now here in our halls. When
"survivor" is added to the mix, you're treading pretty deep into
"one-of-a-kind" territory.
