Gradually digging out a few miscellaneous items I have left after moving to my new shop .Have downsized my total number of cars to a more manageable level and will be listing a few things here over the next few weeks . First up is a show quality 1966 Riviera GS air cleaner that I replated a few years back . Snorkel is really nice which is frequently a problem . I have found that these are actually harder to find that the dual snorkel ones . This will fit the standard Quadrajets and Edelbrocks according to Russ Martin . Not cheap but you won’t find a nicer one . $1200 + shipping in U.S. only . If you need more pics , happy to do so. Thanks Ken

Sorry I do not have the wire wheels anymore . In fact , 99% of the stuff listed originally is long gone . I have a few things that I will be listing soon to finish up . Thanks for asking . Ken

Thank you very much Bernie - 99% of the items were sold within 60 days - few miscellaneous things remain which I will be listing in the near future . As I mentioned in the original post, I am absolutely done with restoring cars - IF I ever buy another car , I will buy someone else’s restoration and tweak as needed !😀. Will leave that fun of restoration, cussing , frustration , searching , scraped knuckles ,wife asking “ what are you doing?, etc to the more energetic Riviera lovers . Best , Ken

Hi Brian - i think I might have one and will check later this weekend and get back to you. I will DM you if I do . Ken Reed

I have always heard rumors about the “ DynaFlow burp” but never heard the cause . Certainly saw on the floor with mine when I didn’t drive it frequently. KReed ROA 14549

As Ed says - LOTS more to it than you want even think about! Then cowl panel has to come off to remove the nut that holds the wiper mechanism to the motor and be sure it is oriented correctly when replacing it. There is also a small hole in the wheel well that allows access to one of the three screws attaching the motor to the firewall . Removing the hood hinge is a must and I personally didn’t feel secure propping up one corner so took the entire hood off. Lots of contorting and cussing believe me . Whoever designed this should have been fired or required to change a few themselves . Easy to do on an assembly line with no fender but taking a fender off and the headlight assembly along with it is a royal PITA . Good luck. Ken

Thanks all for the kind comments . Couple things to correct. The “ garage” in the first picture is the my 63 is not mine but the dealers who bought that car from several years ago . My garage is in the second picture with the 65 GS . Secondly the black 66 GS is the original picture of the car when I purchased it and I accidentally put in the wrong picture .. Color was incorrect . I had the car stripped to bare metal and painted its original gun metal color as seen in picture below . Thanks Ken KReed ROA 14549

Thank you very much . Ken

Thanks for all the kind comments . Ken

Hello fellow Riviera friends - there comes a point in all our lives when new directions need to be explored and I am at that point . After many years in the “Riviera business” and currently having 10 Rivieras , I have decided to sell a few to help fund my retirement home on the lake. I plan to retire in July 2024 after 50 years of surgical practice so over the next 12 months I will downsize my collection to 4-5 Rivieras . I am mentioning this to friends on the forum first before sending any cars to BAT, ACC, Mecum, Barrett-Jackson later this year . By doing this hopefully we can both save some money . All of my cars are in very nice condition and ready to drive and show . The cars that I will be selling are : black 1963, silver 1965 GS ( frame off), gun metal 1966 GS (frame on) riviera red 1966 GS (16,000 miles ) , red /black vinyl top 1968, trumpet gold/black vinyl top 1969 GS . If anyone has interest in any of these , let’s discuss . Thanks for allowing me to get personal . Best, Kendall Reed KReed ROA 14549

Finally…. Thanks for looking KReed ROA 14549
