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!

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced

Wed, Jul 6 2016

Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Updated Buick LaCrosse, Regal to debut at New York Auto Show

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Judging by the spy shots we saw last week for the 2014 Buick LaCrosse and 2014 Buick Regal, we knew it wouldn't be much longer until we saw both sedans receive a grand debut. Today, Buick confirmed to Autoblog both cars will be introduced at the New York Auto Show next month, but no further information has yet been released about either model.
Having been on the market for an extra couple years, the changes to the LaCrosse appear to be more significant than those coming for the Regal, but both will be getting refreshed exterior designs as well as updated interiors. The Regal's new face brings it more in line with the all-new Encore and the restyled Enclave, while the LaCrosse should get a more distinctive, upscale appearance.
Both cars will be introduced exactly a month from today, and we'll be there to bring you all the coverage.
