Garysriv Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have a 65 Corvair Corsa turbo, a 67 GTO ram air frame off car, and always wanted a 65 Riv to complete my trifecta. Today I got it. I am the third owner of a loaded 83k mile garage kept '65 Riv! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom It definitely has cruise, I thou g t it had speed alert because there's a knob on the speedo and an arm with a yellow dot. Is that how you set the cruise?
