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!

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

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Opel to electrify all model lines by 2024, speeding PSA transition

Thu, Nov 9 2017

What do you see in the Opel logo? That's right, a lightning bolt. As the German automaker dramatically restructures its future plans, electric cars are in the core of Opel's survival. With attempts to stop leaking money, Opel is speeding up its secession from GM technology, launching nine new models by 2020 with the aim to complete transition to PSA hardware by 2024, leaving only two Opel platforms. This is all part of Opel's freshly announced PACE turnaround plan, which is crucial for the company's survival, according to CEO Michael Lohscheller. "PACE will unleash our full potential. This plan is paramount for the company, to protect our employees against headwinds and turn Opel/Vauxhall into a sustainable, profitable, electrified, and global company," says Lohscheller. Competitiveness will be improved by reducing per-car costs by 700 euros, and by cutting marketing costs by 10 percent. Regarding Vauxhall's future, the statement still includes the British brand. When the Opel sale agreement was reached between PSA and GM in March, the plan was to start implementing PSA technology in 2019, completing the transition in eight years, as Automotive News says. The new business plan is noticeably faster. By 2020, with full access to PSA's electric tech, Opel would have a fully electric next-generation Corsa hatchback and a PHEV version of the Grandland X SUV, which is already based on Peugeot's 3008 model. Currently, there are nine Opel platforms and 10 engine families. By 2024 there should be two platforms and four powertrains; the number of diesel engines in use remains to be seen, and all product lines would include an electrified model. There would be an SUV and a midsize vehicle based on PSA's EMP2 architecture, with the former built in Eisenach — formerly known as the town that built East German Wartburg cars before its Opel era — and the latter built in Russelsheim, where Opel HQ is located. The Russelsheim hub will become PSA's global "competence center," where all Opel/Vauxhall vehicles would be engineered — not Paris. Plans include avoiding any factory closures or personnel layoffs. The PACE statement also mentions Opel's entrance to all of 20 new export markets, with a specific mention of China and Brazil, countries which have traditionally seen Opels sold as Chevrolets. Will the United States be included in that export plan?
