With the exception of a new grill, taillamps and slightly altered rocker moldings, the Buick Riviera remained much of the same for 1967. The excitement came with the announcement of the introduction of the new 430 V8 with 360hp that was now the highest rated standard engine of any muscle car. The new engine was reported to be much smoother, quieter and breathed better. Sales remained steady with 42,799 models produced.
