these guys for bearings and seals. The rest is hit or miss here or eBay as there is no aftermarket support on these differentials.

After checking their web page, that will be kit 362K that I am going to order. But I have questions regarding axle shaft bushings, that are in the sleeves, where the axle shaft goes in to the carrier. Last picture shows some GM code, but I can't find anything regarding that - anyone knows where to get them ?

- Same time upper radiator hose occasionally sucks flat but after few seconds expands to normal

My friend had such situation in the upper radiator hose in his car:

 

And the problem was in the radiator cap .....

 

 

Your engine bay looks very clean, so I don't think your radiator cap will be in that bad condition, but maybe try to replace it with the other cap, just for a test ?

[sort of tragic]

sad to look at

I had something like 3 small orders in last 2 months - no any problem now, not ever before.

i have them in stock for 49 bucks.  plug and play.  also take note, you should run a 750cfm carb at bare minimum.  difference between a 600cfm carb and an 800cfm is close to 50hp and similiar torque gain across entire power band.  two biggest power robs on a nailhead are under carberation and narrow LSA.   call me 9 to 5 to order  530  272 1564.  i also have a blog with extensive 60 articles on it which ill be pulling when my book is finished later

 

Thank you :-).

George, was this one in Poland, or even in Europe when you found it? Or did you buy it and import it over there? Excellent work, by the way.

Thank you Steve,

I got it from the States in 2010. From another ROA member ... but that was pure luck. I got from him via Ebay a rim for my boattail. Then we started the conversation. He mention that he thinks to sell his 65, I said I always wanted one - not knowing it is GS. Then he send me spec. with statement it is GS. I had to buy it :-).

[Riviera 65 project, 1st part finally done: body works]

There are quite many Boattails here (I also have one from 71 🙂 ), but not many 1st gen Riviera. Very few 65 models, and I believe just one 65 GS ;-).

Don't misunderstand I really approve of your resurrection. But I was just wondering what went into your thinking when you  chose of this car for your project?

Hi Bill,

It is GranSport.

You need also to know, that labor here in Poland (I mean working hour cost), is not that high as in the USA - so that also is changing the picture a bit.

Thank you Guys again, your comments are important to me. I see some big names here, people that are Riviera knowledge masters. I know you only virtually, thanks to this forum and thanks to being ROA member. I feel emotional.

Greetings from Poland, Europe to all of you
