PWB Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 An extremely rare GS specimen with seat "cloth" inserts AND optional head rests. We just don't see these '67 interior gifts often. It takes a master upholsterer to do this right. Repainted (?) but still incredible: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Buick-Riviera-Gran-Sport-/332024441561?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d4e32ead9:g:bG0AAOSwB09YH1HA&item=332024441561 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Originally Riviera Gold paint from factory. Lacking "Star Wars" air cleaner. Looks like true Factory GS. 658 for vinyl bucket (optional/deluxe) interior. Looks like it has reclining seats and electric lock. Hmm, I don't think the "GS" on the trunk is correct?

JZRIV Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 This car appears to have rear disc brakes added. Look at pic of rear axle on left? And of course the addition of rear sway bar. It reminds me of a car Randy Rymal brought to the ROA meet in 1995 in Lisle IL. I'd have to dig out old pre-digital pictures to see if re-spray paint matches this but it sure looks close to same color. At that time it was a 20k mile very original car except paint and what looks like the exact GS emblem on the trunk lid. I think it originally had all vinyl seats but obviously those have been redone.

EmTee Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I have always liked the look of the original cloth upholstery inserts. Pretty car and super clean below decks. My only gripe: "Why the heck would someone change an original Riviera Gold exterior?!?!" (Note, however, that I'm incredibly biased WRT that subject... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pictured) True dat! Why the heck did they apply GS on the rear? And if it remained gold...well it would be Fort Knox. Power locks on a '67! Extremely rare. That interior is insane - sin radio I'd love to know who did those seats.... Edited November 12, 2016 by PWB (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
