Initially conceived as the "La Salle II," the Riviera was Buick's
image and engineering leader from 1963 through 1993 and again from
1995 to 1999. Competing directly with Ford's Thunderbird in the
personal luxury market, the GS-themed Riviera was a true
"gentleman's muscle car," exemplified by the sleekly restyled
1966-67 models. Somewhat larger with a new 119-inch wheelbase
chassis, the updated Riviera featured a lower, longer, wider
presence with a new fastback roofline and cleaner profile with vent
widows replaced by new flow-through ventilation. Standard Riviera
features included power brakes and steering, an automatic
transmission, tilt steering, and dual exhaust. Richly appointed,
fully carpeted interiors included top-quality upholstery in a wide
array of color combinations. A wide array of standard features came
with every Riviera, befitting Buick's flagship model of the
1960s.Buick's famed 425 cubic-inch "Nailhead" V-8 engine was
replaced by an all-new and improved 430-cube V-8 for 1967,
delivering 360 factory-rated horsepower with a standard Rochester
Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor residing underneath a distinctive
twin-inlet air cleaner housing. Known to enthusiasts today as the
"Star Wars" unit for its similarity to the movie spacecraft of the
latter 1970s, the Riviera's air cleaner remains popular with hot
rodders and muscle car enthusiasts today. The Gran Sport (GS)
option added heavy-duty suspension, a performance axle with
positive traction differential, wide oval white wall tires, and
specific 'GS' ornamentation.Finished in a Body Tag-correct color
combination of Arctic White paint over Black upholstery, this
Flint, Michigan-built 1967 Riviera GS is accompanied by the
original window sticker/MSRP confirming it was delivered new to
Griffith Motors, Inc. in Johnson City, Tennessee. Carrying a basic
MSRP of $4,469, this Riviera GS left the factory with such standard
features as tilt steering wheel, a unique barrel-style speedometer,
an electric clock, trunk light, dual exhaust, and Custom seat
belts.Factory options are many, adding nearly $1,500 to the
purchase price, all itemized on the accompanying window sticker.
Among them were a D55 Console, U69 AM-FM radio with electric
antenna and U-80 rear-seat speaker, C60 air conditioning, A31 power
windows, U15 Speed Alert, A01 Soft-Ray tinted glass, U05 four note
horn, B93 door guards, D33 remote control outside rear view mirror,
and a set of 4 Code T54 floor mats. Seats are Code A51 custom Trim
Strato Bucket seats in vinyl, with A41 4-way tilt adjustment to the
driver's seat and A81 headrests for both front occupants. Gleaming
chrome and bumpers plus handsome Buick road wheels finish this
handsome performer off nicely. Experience this handsome and highly
