Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
PRICED FOR QUICK SALE!! This beautiful 1967 Buick Riviera is a restored as needed example of “the gentleman’s muscle car”. She’s well optioned with air conditioning, power windows, tilt wheel and power antenna. She has benefitted from about $10,000 in recent restoration and upgrades. She needs nothing to be enjoyed for both touring and shows.
The current owner acquired the Riviera approximately one year ago from PJ’s Auto World in North Carolina and has completed numerous enhancements and restoration upgrades accompanied by records and receipts. PJ’s Auto World purchased her at auction and is not aware of her earlier history.
The livery is beautiful in her original Sapphire Blue (Paint Code 4815L) which appears to be a recent repaint. The paint has a beautiful overall presence with great shine and luster with almost no imperfections. The Sapphire Blue gives her an understated elegance while accentuating her sleek lines. She comes complete with the 15” Buick Rally Wheels and new Goodrich Radial redline tires. The rear bumper has been re-chromed and all of her chrome and brightwork show well overall. Her undercarriage is very clean and shows very well.
This Riviera’s interior shows very well throughout. Her Blue Vinyl upholstery (Trim Code 651-B) is a beautiful compliment to her Sapphire Blue exterior. The front bucket seat backs have been reupholstered in the correct Blue Vinyl within the past year and look beautiful. The rear seat upholstery may be original and shows expected patina for its age and shows well. The dash, instrument cluster and wood grain console all are in excellent condition. The dark blue carpets all show well with very little wear. She comes complete with a satellite radio and remotes and black rubber Buick floor mats. The driver’s door panel is original and in nice condition but does show expected patina for her age and use. The trunk compartment is in excellent condition and comes complete with a full rubber mat. Overall, the interior is in excellent condition and shows very well throughout.
The engine compartment is very clean and nicely detailed and painted throughout. Her 430 cu in V-8 runs very well and produces 360 hp at 5,000 rpm. Her intake manifold has been replaced with a high volume Edelbrock manifold to enhance performance. The original and restored manifold accompanies the Riviera. She has the GS exterior badges but does not have the GS 342 rear gears nor the 5.75-inch diameter air conditioning clutch found on the GS model. Therefore, it’s assumed that she is not a Grand Sport model.
This Riviera is well equipped and runs and drives beautifully. She is accompanied with approximately $10,000 worth of restoration receipts for work performed over the past year. She would be a beautiful addition to any muscle car collection.
