Hi, I am going through some parts I bought as a lot and don’t need. I wanted to offer them here first. -63 California plate set. From a Riv I am told. - offers - 64? Heater control valve. I understand these are hard to get. -offers -glove box lock. Operates well, no key- offers Shipping is from Canada, no handling fee, I tend to use Canada Post as it works out cheapest for the buyer and easiest for me. I also have a complete vacuum trunk release, a 64? Buick Tach, and a complete set of 63 wire hubcaps with spinners that will be for sale once I do some more research and get some pics taken. I also have a bundle of chrome, so message me if you are looking for a particular piece. Thanks.

Hi all, as I continue to work on my Riv, I find more things that were missed in the "restoration". The latest are the spacers and correct bolts that go through the fender at the end of the wraparound section of the primary bumper. (see attached photo from the manual) I was hoping someone had a set they would be willing to part with, or at least an clear pic with dimensions so I could reproduce them myself. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. Kevin

Hey, I got the springs from Jamco. They are the 2” drop but on my car they seem to sit more like a 3”. I contacted them and the communication has been good, but I haven’t decided if I am going to ask for replacements or not. It looks cool, but it’s pretty damn low.

Car took a long time, first year of show and working out the bugs, there was some artistic licence taken by the producer here and there, but that is my brother every day. Had the carbs restored by the carb doctor after the show and the turned out great.

The seats,package tray, carpet and headliner were from OPGI, door panels from Clarke’s Corvair, installed locally. I actually did the work on the wheel covers and all the veneer work, but it didn’t make the show. Mike tried to bolt on some other wheels, but it didn’t work, lol. I ordered 2” drop springs, but they sit like 3”, might bring it back up a little

If anyone is interested,my brothers show Rust Valley Restorers is now available on Netflix. My 64 matching numbers factory dual carb Riviera is featured in episode 2 “Family Business”. Season 2 is filming now.

Hey All, I have the parts I need for now, thanks for the replies.

As far as I know you either have to have History Channel, or subscribe to their content on-line.

Hi All, if anyone is interested, especially in Canada, my 64 numbers matching factory dual 4bbl car was featured on my brothers reality TV show Rust Valley Restorers on History Channel Canada, episode 2 "Family Business".

Here's are pics of the ones on my car that was done over the summer and as part of my 64 restoration on my brothers reality TV show Rust Valley Restorers on History Channel Canada. First we had them bead blasted, then had the cracks welded, followed by polishing, taping , primer and paint. I think they are the coolest of the original wheel options.

Here’s mine. BQ code would appear to be a correct and original for my 64 factory dual carb console shift.302 = Oct 29,1963.

telriv, I assure you I will not just screw this to the sheet metal.

Thanks for the replies, this is the reproduction I bought. I guess I will have to decide If I want to keep it as stock as possible, or place it where It actually works for me, and let the next owner worry about the location. I think not having the mirrors makes this car even more unique, but after 30 years of rugby my neck doesn't move like it used to so I will probably be putting this one on, and reinforcing it as required. Thanks for the measurement Randall.
