[Virginia Rasch ROA #3]

RIP Virginia.

[WTB: '65 Steering Wheel]

I've seen them at Gene's table at some of the ROA events. The quality of the construction is first rate. He didn't repro them in pot metal, he made them so they're strong and won't pit. The final quality will depend on you and the plater you chose to do your chroming.

.

Anybody has any picture of repro from Gene ?

Would be interesting to see & compare to the last posts.

[WTB: '65 Steering Wheel]

Similar to the answer he gave me. Oh well... if you end up having any luck with Gene, then just let me know. Thanks.

OK !

[Riviera 1972 rear axle ID]

Hello,

I need to order bearings for my 72 Boattail rear axle. Suppliers are asking me if I have 9,375" or 8,5".

Any help how to ID ?

Thanks

I've sent request to Gene regarding horn bars. Here's the answer:

"George, I do not have any at this time. I hope to get more made. i will keep your e-mail on file. thanks Gene."

[WTB: '65 Steering Wheel]

I did receive a brief reply and, unfortunately, it appears that Gene is not active in re-producing horn bars any more.

Folks, any ideas where to get the bars, except OPGI ?

Thanks

66/67 is next on my wish list ;-)

You have beautiful example - I like body color, fact that it's GS model, wooden steering wheel (however I'm not sure if wooden steering wheel is the best combination with black interior, but OK - that's only my taste).

I was watching with pleasure. Thanks !

John,

are you accepting CC or PayPal ?

[A Place Called Buick, Second Edition]

I cannot accept credit card at this time, but do accept PayPal, if you are familiar with that. We also accept check and money order in U.S. Dollars.

If your location is correct in Poland, shipping would be $21.88 USD, for a total of $66.88 USD.

Then no problem, my CC is linked to my PayPal account, so we could proceed with transaction. And yes, my location is very correct ;-). Thank you for detailed quotation. I will send you mail in few days, with my address.

Thanks again

Patrick,

I'll take ALL the rusty, running 65 GS's with rebuilt engines that you can find for $500.00!!

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Tim, don't take ALL, please leave few for me :-D

My wheel is buried in the basement and I can't get to it easily or I'd look at it. Take a look at the wheel in the original post. The bars on it are at 180* to the hub. Then look at the horn bar in the previous post; the bars are not at 180* to the hub. Before paying out that kind of money, make sure that this horn bar fit your wheel!

Ed

You are right with these 180* - but my wheel is on the way to Poland. It will arrive with the car in around 2 months... Then I will be able to check. Thanks for note !

EDIT: However I have an picture of my wheel, and it looks like the bars should NOT be exactly in 180*.

[WTB: '65 Steering Wheel]

I've emailed Gene and Im now just waiting to hear from him. From your feedback, it appears that he does construct some good quality horn bars... and its good to hear you speak highly of his work. It's just a shame Gene doesn't rebuild/refurb complete wheels!

Did you get any answer ?

In the meantime, Ive located steel repro:

[Loud Clacking Noise Under Load]

Tedy010, an please let us know what was the reason ;-)

[Loud Clacking Noise Under Load]

Detonation - like wildcat465 wrote - from low octane, OR ignition is not correctly adjusted (ignition too soon)

[WTB: '65 Steering Wheel]

Has anyone seen or purchased one of the brass wood wheel horn bars that Gene Guarnere is offering? Are they good quality, crisp castings? Once chromed, will it look like the original?

I'd I buy one of Gene's bars I'd like some feedback on Gene's bar before buying.

Hi folks,

The same question: any feedback from somebody regarding quality ? I would also need one ....

[Questions about 63 riv]

Brown brake pedal pads needed here as well! Does anybody know where to get those?

Thanks.

Hi Pasi

Ed has answered already:

"Color keyed pedals are availabel from CARS, Inc. The last I knew, their website wasn't working, you may have to call them.

Ed"

CARS Inc. is here: Old Buick Parts - CARS. Inc.

[Questions about 63 riv]

So here's a picture of my dash... can you see the crack?

Jim,

little bit off topic: do you know where it is possible to buy the rubber pads for pedals in the color you have ?

Thanks

Good afternoon:

I'm sure several of you were following the listing of a Blackout Buick in Napa, CA.

Hi Jared,

I was in contact with the seller - It was quite close to finalize the deal (as my wife liked the car a lot :cool: ), however I'm form Europe & the seller did not agreed for kind of Escrow service. Now Alice is yours . Be sure I will watch this thread. Good luck with resto !
