    Not the 67 in my opinion. The listing has a pic that shows the Buick oil pan with the drain plug in correct location and TH400 trans pan corner.

    That picture is of an earlier Buick with a torque tube and a Dynaflow.

    Two different cars, the photo on the left is the Riviera: red 430 and finned aluminium drums.
    New brake line and check out that nice welding on the exhaust....

    Yeah looks like the Caddy he also has for sale. Alot of things make me skeptical of the 7K orig miles claim....

    The Riviera also showed up in an article on BarnFinds dot com:

    1967 Buick Riviera GS With 7,972 Original Miles!

    Classic cars with extraordinarily low mileage claims will always ignite debate, and I expect the situation to be no different with this 1967 Buick Riviera GS.
    Its presentation seems faultless and is in keeping with the seller’s claim that its odometer shows a genuine 7,972 miles.

    It needs nothing, and if the odometer reading is verifiable, it could be the lowest-mileage example available in the current classic market.
    A new home is beckoning for this Riviera, with the seller listing it here on eBay in Covington, Virginia.
    They set their BIN at $32,000, but there is the option to make an offer.

    Buick’s First Generation Riviera made an immediate impact in the market, and many enthusiasts continue to consider it one of the most beautiful vehicles sold within the Personal Luxury Car segment.
    The Second Generation model appeared in 1966, with significant styling changes and larger dimensions in keeping with prevailing market trends.

    Our feature car emerged in 1967 and is claimed to be a low-mile survivor.
    It has been garage-kept its entire life, helping explain why its Arctic White paint and Black vinyl top are immaculate.

    The paint shines nicely, with no apparent significant flaws or defects.
    There is no evidence of rust, and I wouldn’t expect any if the claims about this classic are valid.

    The panels are as straight as an arrow, and the tinted glass looks flawless.
    The trim is excellent, with the hidden headlamps functioning as they should.

    The Riviera rolls on its original sports wheels, wrapped in correct redline tires.

    I never understand how a seller can list a classic of this caliber and then undermine their chances of success with substandard photos.
    There are several interior shots of this Riviera, but this one featuring sun-bleaching is probably the best.

    It reveals enough to confirm the interior is as spotless as the exterior, with its Black vinyl upholstered surfaces free from any issues.
    The dash and pad are immaculate, and there is no carpet wear.

    It appears nobody ever occupied the back seat, and the only aftermarket addition is a pair of gauges mounted under the dash by the driver’s left knee.
    The interior features many optional extras in keeping with the Riviera’s luxury leanings.

    The new owner receives air conditioning, power windows, a remote trunk release, a remote driver’s mirror, an AM/FM radio with the optional rear speaker, and a power antenna.

    I hate to sound like a broken record (remember those?), but the seller failed to include any engine photos in their listing.
    However, I was able to lift this image from the YouTube video that they supplied.

    It reveals the 430ci V8 that sends 360hp and 475 ft/lbs of torque to the road via a three-speed automatic transmission.
    The power assistance for the steering and brakes further emphasizes the car’s luxury credentials.

    This GS should tip the scales at 4,365 lbs, but its prodigious power and torque mean it can storm the ¼-mile in 15.1 seconds on its way to 132mph.
    The seller’s mileage claim may require further investigation because they don’t mention verifying evidence.

    We receive no information on how this Buick runs or drives, but its V8 sounds pretty sweet in the YouTube video.
    If it is an accurate guide, this should be a turnkey proposition.

    It will be interesting to gauge reader opinions on this 1967 Buick Riviera GS and the claimed odometer reading.
    The overall presentation and condition make it appear plausible, but the failure to mention supporting evidence will raise doubts in the minds of many.

    However, its ownership history may make obtaining such verification feasible.
    It is worth noting that the values of these classics are climbing and that the BIN figure on our feature car remains competitive in the current market,
    regardless of the odometer reading.

    Do those thoughts tempt you to admit this luxurious survivor into your life?
