    Car covers- source?

    in Buick Riviera

    Posted

    Barney Eaton, who is a BCA member is a distributor IIRC Cover Craft.

    I purchased covers from him for my 46 Super, 65 Wildcat and 91 Reatta, all covers fit perfect and work as they should. I bought mine for inside storage and ordered the Dust stop series. Light weight, and the car stays clean, even after sitting all winter.

    Barney can be located in the Reatta section, and I believe he also advertises in the Bugle.

    The FBI ran quite a few of the Turbo Regals as unmarked cars. I had the opportunity to buy one a couple years ago. It had a long interesting story behind it and was heavily modified by the Govt for use on the streets. It was pretty plain jane as far as options, but could run and handle with the best of them. The agent who it was assigned to, wrecked it in a chase during a drug deal in California. He bought the car from the feds and fixed it back correctly. When he retired, he moved back to Iowa and that is where I saw it.

    BTW, if anyone needs one of those radios, I have one that was new when I bought it 2 years year, had the ipod adapter installed and put it into a 1987 442 I had. Kept the car about 3 weeks and sold it, (pretty car but way underpowered) and kept the radio.

    I agree, you just posted pictures, your not "selling" the car, and as soon as I saw that underside shot, I clicked off the ad.

    Get the car outside, take pictures that will make a buyer WANT your car. All I wanted to do was click off the ad. Best to scrap the underside shots!

    In all honesty, maybe wait a month or so, let the spring time come and peoples excitement for summer days, and thoughts of taking trips to the lake with the top down will help you sell your car.

    Best of luck.

    Was the flywheel installed back in the correct location. There are some 4 or 5 ways that it will bolt back on, but only one is correct. There is a dimple in back to use as a guide.

    Or, take it back to the shop that rebuilt it for you and ask them to figure it out and give you the answer. Then you can decided the best way to make the repairs

    fouled spark plug

    timing off

    valve spring weak and valve not closing

    points

    bad spark plug wire

    harmonic balancer shot

    carb plugged up

    and on and on

    it could be any number of things, got any more clues? how old is the engine? has anything been recently repaired, how long has this been acting up. what do you may suspect to be wrong
