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.

GM to offer 2 years free maintance on most 2014 models
Thu, 06 Jun 2013A day after Ford announced it was scaling back the complimentary maintenance program for its Lincoln brand, General Motors has gone in the completely opposite direction, offering most of its 2014 lineup with free maintenance. Since 2011, Cadillac models have all come with a four-year/50,000-mile complimentary maintenance program, but Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles will now come standard with free maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles for the 2014 model year.
The program will give vehicle owners and lessees free oil changes, tire rotations and 27-point inspections following the recommended maintenance schedule laid out in each vehicle's owner's manual. We contacted GM to see which vehicles were eligible for the program, and a spokesperson got back to us with the following comment:
"All 2014 models are eligible, it's just that the included services vary by model, e.g., Spark EV would not need oil changes, Corvettes don't recommend tire rotations."
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
