For Sale: 63 Riviera Factory Air System

TexRiv_63 · September 4th, 2009

I am slowly cleaning out all the Riviera stuff I accumulated now that my Riv is gone. As you may remember I converted my car to a Vintage Air system but I saved all the original factory air and heater parts that I removed. I probably have about 90% of the system, here is what is NOT included:

Interior dash switches, sensors and A/C outlets.
Compressor brackets
Fan shroud and clutch fan

Most everything else is there, it is all in the condition it was when I removed it, meaning dirty and non-operational. The 63 system is unique to that year with manual controls, completely different from later years. This would be good for somone who wants to retrofit factory A/C into a car not originally equipped or just as a good spare part source. I want to sell it as one lot for $200.00 and it needs to be picked up at my home in McKinney, TX, shipping it would cost a fortune.

The pictures below just show part of the stash on the top shelf in my garage, I will take better pics this weekend that will show everything. If you are interested send me a PM or e-mail me at derjr2@tx.rr.com

Here are some better photos showing all parts included, I do have the rear compressor bracket. The compressor is original with two factory data plates and the Buick inspection paint stamp.

Hey Don,

Any chance you remember which Vintage Air unit you installed in you Riv? Any pictures of the install?

I am wondering what the impact to the glovebox is and how much of it is visible hanging below the dash (if at all).

Thanks,

Len.

Search the ROA forum for "Vintage Air", I wrote a long how-to post awhile back with all that stuff. The glovebox basically disappears, although you could make up a very shortened interior box that would just about hold one set of gloves!
