This is a numbers matching 1967 Buick Riviera GS. Star Wars Air Cleaner, Posi Rear End. Rock solid and laser straight. Rust free and beautiful! REAL Gran Sport!!!!!!!!

This Riviera has the very rare headrest option and also the equally rare cornering lights.

Original gold car. Looks fantastic!

Following are a few facts taken from Hemmings Muscle Machines.

ENGINE

In 1967, the nailhead had been put out to pasture, replaced in all Riveras by the all-new 430-cu.in. V-8 introduced that year, coded MD. These engines have angled rocker arm covers and front-mounted distributors. A 400-cu.in. version of the engine, similar in all but bore, was used in the Skylark/Special body GS series. The 430 made 360hp at 5,000 rpm and 475-lbs.ft. of torque at 3,200 rpm, with a compression ratio of 10.25:1. It featured larger crank bearing journals, an exceptionally strong nodular iron crankshaft, and heads similar to those introduced on the small-block 300- and 340-cu.in. V-8s introduced in 1961. These engines were equipped with a single Quadrajet, and there was no dual-carburetor option. Cloaking the Quadrajet on GS models was the wild, red fiberglass Star Wars air cleaner, so called because of its resemblance to something Han Solo might use. This is a smooth and durable engine.

TRANSMISSIONS

The Riviera GS was equipped with the three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission, Buick's name for the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, which came with a variable pitch torque converter for quicker launches. Recalibrated to allow shifts at higher rpm and featuring a reinforced valve body, the GS transmission wore a BS code on its identification tag.

DIFFERENTIALS

Rivieras used 10-bolt differentials of a design shared by Buick and Oldsmobile. These are strong units, and can withstand a lot of abuse. In 1966 and '67, the Riviera Gran Sport was equipped with a limited-slip differential with a 3.42:1 ratio, with options up to 3.91:1. The code can be found on the bottom of the right axle tube, three inches from the housing; 1966 cars should bear an "x" in a circle for the locking axle, and a 3 over a 42 for the ratio. For 1967, there should be a PY code, again denoting the 3.42:1 ratio and locking axle. The limited-slip unit did its job well:

This Riviera has not been registered or on the road since 1989! It show under 46000 miles on the clock. Judging by the general condition of this car, I believe it to be true but I do not have any documentation to back this up. I have the clean and clear OREGON title from 1989 ready to be signed over to the new owner.

It has just undergone a $6000 clean up of everything that I saw that was not perfect both on the interior, and exterior. All work professionally carried out by Windy City Rods and Restorations. It is truly beautiful.

Before I got the car, it had a brand new paint job which I have had professionally wet sanded and buffed to a better than showroom finish.

It has a brand new vinyl roof, brand new carpet, headliner, and front seats have been recovered. The rears are original, and there are no splits, tears or signs of wear.

New motors on both front windows. Rears work just fine.

Under the hood has just undergone a complete paint, detail and tune up.

New under hood.

Valve cover gasket set

Spark plugs

Distributor rotor

Distributor cap

Ignition points and condenser set

Ignition wire set

Air filter

Wix oil filter

Oil pressure switch

V belt

All new fluids

Full stainless steel exhaust with Flowmaster 40 series Delta Flow Mufflers. (Sounds Amazing)

Drive shaft bearing

Alternator

Regulator

Wiper blades

All of the sheet metal is all original with only the trunk pan being replaced. There were a couple of pinholes in the original metal due to a leaky seal which has also been replaced with new.

Not that it was bad, but I had the rear bumper re-chromed. All of the chrome and stainless on the car looks great.

The car is missing a couple of small things on the interior. It is missing the trim around the drivers mirror remote. I have not been able to locate one. It is also missing the rear defog vent cover from the rear package shelf as shown in the pic. That's it.

This car starts and runs like clockwork. Sounds amazing, dives amazing and stops amazing. All lights work including the flip down headlights. Go up and down no problem.

All heat and air components are there, but not in working condition at this time. Probably an easy fix. The 5 star Cragar rims don't look horrible, but they do have some pitting in the chrome. Can't tell unless really close up.

The pictures do not do it justice. You will not be disappointed with this car. It is a show stopper!

Less than 10 positive feedback please contact me before bidding. Less than 10 positive feedback bids without prior contact will be removed.

Buyer to arrange shipping if needed. I will be happy to help with loading.

Car is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the car sells.

Buick Envision CUV launches in China, is America next?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

Buick is launching its new midsize Envision crossover in China at the Chengdu Motor Show, where it will slot between the subcompact Encore and larger Enclave. While it might be hard to muster too much excitement about a Chinese-market crossover, don't completely ignore this one. There's a very good chance it could be on sale in North America to fill the same hole in the brand's lineup over here, possibly as a 2016 model.
We recently spied the Envision completely undisguised as it was arriving at the Chengdu show for its debut. The CUV still looks like a stretched Encore from some front angles, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's got a similar oversized grille, hood vents (presumably faux) and large greenhouse as its little brother. Where the midsize CUV differs is its prominent crease running down the side and the different rear treatment, with wing-shaped trim cutting into the taillights.
The interior looks like a pretty nice place to spend time, too, with a predictable mix of leather, wood and metal, and it should be quiet in there with its active noise cancelation system. Infotainment is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen with a touchpad and voice controls.

Buick confirms 2017 Encore for New York Auto Show

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Buick will unveil the refreshed 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show in March, company spokesperson Stuart Fowle tells Autoblog. The brand isn't ready to divulge info about the updated compact crossover, but a recent revision to the Encore's European platform-mate, the Opel Mokka (above), might provide hints about what to expect. "While we have no additional details to announce, we're excited to confirm that media and customers will see the new 2017 Encore at next month's New York Auto Show. The Encore joins the Cascada convertible, Envision crossover, and LaCrosse sedan as the fourth new product arriving in Buick showrooms this year," Fowle said to Autoblog. Expect the 2017 Encore to have its own twist on the the Mokka's (now called the Mokka X) exterior styling, and spy shots hint the Buick has a new front end with a smaller grille. The Encore could benefit from the Opel's redesigned dashboard, which integrates the infotainment system into the center stack. It's a very attractive change, and we hope to see the switch in the US. The Mokka X also gets improved safety tech. The German compact CUV now sports adaptive LED headlights that adjust to traffic. US law doesn't allow these intelligent parts, but the Encore might get dumber LED lights. The Opel's improved front-mounted camera also increases the traffic sign detection rate. The Mokka X is available with the updated powertrain from the Encore Sport Touring, so there might not be any engine upgrades for the Buick. Buick needs to keep the Encore fresh, as the compact CUV is the brand's best selling model. It delivered 67,549 of them in 2015, a 38.2-percent jump over the previous year. The popularity continued into January 2016 with 4,920 deliveries – up 42 percent. Related Video:
