The Riviera debuted in 1963 as a personal luxury car from Buick. Using the same platform as the later Olds Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado, it had rear-wheel-drive (the other two were General Motors’ first forays into front-wheel-drive). The Riviera was updated in 1966, so the 1967 editions like this one only differed by the Buick powerplant choice. Located in Marysville, Washington, this big Buick is available here on eBay for $15,300.

In 1967, Buick retired the 425 cubic inch “Nailhead” V8 in favor of a faster and slightly more fuel efficient 430 that produced 360 hp. Front disc brakes became available as an option. Hideaway headlights were still the order of the day, and Buick found nearly 42,800 buyers for the Riviera, a consistent annual sales figure for the car throughout the 1960s. We’re told the seller’s machine performs well, as confirmed by a compression test that provided thumbs up!

A dealer is selling this Buick, though the details are few. We’re told it’s “perfect for a light restoration,” but what does that entail? Mechanical needs, cosmetic needs, or both? It’s a numbers-matching vehicle, which is always a plus. Seller-provided videos show the car performing as it should. And it has all of the usual goodies you’d expect in a car like this, including factory air.

A boatload of photos is provided, many of which zero in on things that don’t shout out there being problems. Body panels seem okay, as do the beige paint and matching interior. The Buick sports a contrasting vinyl to,p which also appears to be without need. Whatever repairs you and the seller might agree to can be performed at their shop.
