Wrench Report
RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.
If you saw this Riv come up a few months ago, then you'll know you have a second chance at owning a really great luxury classic. As one of just 4,837 factory GS models produced in 1967, this one boasts a built 430ci Wildcat V8 pushed to a reported 485 horsepower thanks to MSD electronic fuel injection and Edelbrock top-end parts. You're getting a classic Buick silhouette with modern 18-inch wheels, heavy-duty GS sport suspension, and a performance-shifted Turbo 400 gearbox.
Description
This 1967 Buick Riviera is an upgraded example of the brand's second-generation luxury coupe equipped with the factory GS (Gran Sport) performance and handling package. Out of more than 42,000 Rivieras produced for the model year, this vehicle represents one of 4,837 units specified with the GS option. Restored approximately 6 years ago, the powertrain has been modified under previous ownership to increase output from the factory-rated 360 horsepower to a reported 485 horsepower. The car features modern fuel injection, a revised top end, and updated 18-inch wheels while retaining its model-specific cosmetic elements. It is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Washington title.
Featuring a repaint in factory correct red, the exterior maintains the standard second-generation Riviera styling, highlighted by a "W" shaped front-end profile, a rear fastback roofline, and distinctive "Riviera GS" badging on the decklid and front fenders. The signature hidden headlights are operated by electric motors, a feature specific to the 1967 model year.
The car rides on a set of 18-inch Accio wheels mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires, measuring 235/40 ZR18 in front and 235/55 R18 in rear.
The cabin features factory-style luxury appointments, including black vinyl bucket seats, a center console with a column-mounted shifter, and standard manual controls for the windows and ventilation. The upholstery, door cards, and carpeting are complemented by unique Riviera script accents on the interior panels.
The dashboard houses the model-year-specific "drum" or "barrel" style speedometer, which utilizes a rotating cylinder to indicate vehicle speed.
The engine bay houses a period correct 430ci Wildcat V8 engine, which has been enhanced with Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, and an MSD electronic fuel injection system. Exhaust gases flow through aftermarket headers connected to a 2.5-inch dual exhaust system utilizing Flowmaster mufflers. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 three-speed automatic transmission that has been modified with a performance shift kit, which spins a Positraction limited-slip differential with 3.70 gears.
The chassis came equipped from the factory with the heavy-duty GS sport suspension package, which features revised spring rates and firmer dampening compared to the standard Riviera. Braking performance has been maintained alongside the upgraded powertrain, and the power steering system uses factory dimensions. The undercarriage displays the custom dual exhaust routing and standard independent front suspension structures. This Buick Riviera GS was previously listed on BuyTheCar here.

This was a very well thought out methodical restoration with some nice upgrades that were intentionally done to make best efforts to keeping the car looking stock like the very nice wheel upgrade and the performance upgrades. The owner as in many cases went all out as they did not intend to sell the car. Its easily a show winner anywhere you take it has very few miles on the restoration and you can take it anywhere with confidence of reliability
