1967 Buick Riviera 430 Cu Inch West Coast Survivor Rebuilt Carburetor Runs Great on 2040-cars
Reno, Nevada, United States
|
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 carburetor was rebuilt only about three months ago. At that time, the steering was tightened and it was tuned up. We thought about adding electronic ignition but kept it stock. The brakes stop the car fine and were regularly serviced. The automatic transmission shifts nicely through all the gears as it should. Exterior: Lots of little scratches and imperfections, some dents have to pulled out. 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. It could use new carpeting and a new cover for the ceiling. the old ceiling cover sagged and we removed it but didn't replace it. Glass: The glass appears to be original and is in good shape. Battery: the battery is new and was recently replaced. Tires: The tires are fairly good. Paint: The paint appears to be original and is consistent with one of the Riviera Red color of that year Title: The title is a clear California title. Please check the rules in your State about title transfers. The car is located in Reno, NV.

2014 Buick Regal priced from $29,690*
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Buick has announced pricing for the refreshed 2014 Regal. The base model offers a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, 259-horsepower, four-cylinder engine for $30,615 (*after $925 delivery and destination fee). The standard turbo can be replaced by Buick's eAssist mild hybrid system for $32,485. The electrified powertrain delivers 36 miles per gallon, in place of the turbo's 30 mpg on the highway.
The big powertrain news for 2014 is the inclusion of an all-wheel-drive system for an extra $2,175. Marking one of the few uses of all-wheel drive on a Buick car, the new Regal AWD has an electronic, limited-slip differential and a HiPer Strut front suspension, which is the same front arrangement used on the hot, front-drive Regal GS.
Speaking of the Regal GS, it's not so hot for 2014. It sports the same 259-horsepower engine as the standard Regal, but offsets that with a wealth of standard, optional or flat-out exclusive equipment like active dampers, Brembo brakes and a Bose stereo. Prices (all including the $925 fee) start at $37,830. Like the standard car, the GS will be available with all-wheel drive for the first time, bringing it a bit more in line with its cousins across the pond - Opel Insignia OPC and Vauxhall Insignia VXR. Prices for the GS AWD start at $40,195.
GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.
