Produced continually between the 1963 and 1999 model years (excluding the 1994 model year), the Buick Riviera was known for its classy luxury and head-turning style. A second generation was introduced for the 1966 model year, with a wider, longer body, and heavier curb weight, not to mention a more pronounced exterior and sharp front fascia. Now, this slick ’67 Buick Riviera restomod is up for sale.
The first thing to grab us about this two-door coupe is the two-tone paint treatment, which includes bright silver on top of dark gray, enhancing the stylish shoulder line. The front end looks good with the Riviera’s simple grille insert and horizontal bars, while the corners rock Vision wheels sized at 20 inches in diameter. The rollers also come with a staggered width front-to-back, while electric fold-down hideaway headlamps keep it all looking nice and clean.
Highlights in the cabin include leather upholstery, as well as fully operational power windows and power seats. Further features include power steering and power brakes, as well as a remote mirror upgrade. In the dash, this ’67 Buick Riviera also comes with the original AM radio, while the footwells are lined with the original Buick rubber floor mats.
Providing the grunt is a modern fuel-injected LS1 V8 engine, which includes new headers, aluminum heads, an aluminum radiator and automatic electric fan, and a Steeda air filter. An MSD electric fuel pump provides the go juice.
The new V8 feeds an automatic transmission to drive rear wheels, while happy noises are sent through a stainless steel dual exhaust system.
Under the skin, the original frame was equipped with new shocks and springs, while the drum brakes were repainted to match the silver exterior.
Now, this 1967 Buick Riviera restomod is up for grabs on eBay, listed with a Buy It Now price of $32,495. The auction will end on October 29th.

The side body lines I see in my 2011 LaCrosse
Beautiful car.
Love it ….wheels not , interior needs floor console …………
Takes me back to the days it was introduced. Nearly wet my pants!
At least it doesn’t look like it would be too hard to get the exterior looking like stock again! And dump the LS and get a good Buick 455 in there!
This 1967 Buick Rivera is a demonstration of what is wrong with General Motors as everything is too cookie-cutter, there’s no willingness to step out and take chances with the design.
That and Buick is a China-focused brand now and that’s not a culture where chances are taken or flamboyance is appreciated. The Buick that built the many gorgeous Rivieras ceased to exist a long time ago.
Cookie cutter? This model lasted for 2 years before being re-vamped, and with the option of the 425 Nailhead Motor it stands as an icon in design and class to this day.
Love the look of this year Rivera.
As for A “Restomod” comment – needs some Disc brakes !
Those aluminum front drums were amazing!
How do you purchase this?
This exact design with crisp lines and lean muscle would make for a perfect next gen Chevrolet Camaro with a wide body special edition Firebird and later Trans Am as a Hell Cat rival.
It’s time to best Dodge with design & special editions. Hellcat, shaker and wide body Charger have helped it best Camaro. I’d also do a global Chevelle brand made up of Corvette, Camaro (&models mentioned above, Tahoe and a small speed racer SUV)
I think the car is beautiful . I would like to ask why the black paint did not follow the body line all the way to the rear? I like how the black paint ends at the rear . That would of been a nice custom touch if the factory body line could of been changed.
I’ll never understand how you can have a car that is nicely done but they didn’t take the time to clear coat the master cylinder to prevent it from getting surface rust. Makes no sense.
Great job on this! But needs a little revamping, I was hot roding my 1955
Bel-air Hard top back in this time period
The Riveria, and Tornado was the most
Beautiful cars on the road then!
I agree a 455 and console would really
Be much nicer, I had a 455 olds in the 1990’s this had so much torque, you could spin both bach tires at 65 mph.
What a ride! At almost 6,000 Lbs.
I have an original 1966 Buick Riviera GS for sale with the 465 nailhead motor in it automatic loaded leather interior and great condition
Back in 1964 on Pahlavi St. of Tehran I was racing a Riviera behind in with my Dodge Polara.
I soon found out driver of Riviera was Shah of Iran.
God bless his soul.
