George Buick Riviera

WTB: looking for the parts for 74 Olds Cutlass Salon (4 door): I need all 4 doors, front and rear bumper. Any help folks ? I am located outside of US, but I have US shipping address, area: IL 60156.

No problem Ed, you are quite active here and I can imagine it is hard to follow all the posts and threads. Thanks for your activity.

Ed, sure I was considering that already, but these are rather pricey for 65 (due to "one year only" compatibility - I believe), plus shipping to Europe will make it somewhere double expensive .... What I was able to find was something like $280 each (also not perfect condition) + shipping. For that money we will try to fix what we have (Riviera restoring fun :-) ). I will post the pictures.

Thanks Guys, yes, I know all that what you wrote - I took me few years before I start resto works, and I was reading a lot in the meantime (mostly here). I will repair my tray and the fenders :-). Here are my fenders just after sandblast:

Guys, since the thread was not updated since some time, anybody knows if the battery tray is still not available as a repro (Riviera 65) ?

Will it fit Riviera 65 ?

PM sent

Gord, are the covers still available ?

Thanks to all of you for the advices. Tom, I will drop a feedback here after my try, but for next two weeks I'm away from my home :-(. So be patient... And for future references, I attach another ideas from the Facebook group:

Hi folks, any advice how to remove the plastic end without damage ? I need to swap it to the second rod that is in a better condition. It's Riv 65 turn lever.

For manual or auto temperature control ?

The parts list post is from February 17th, 2003 ..... but it is worth to ask anyway

What a nice coincidence :-). I really like such situations ! I'm stuck at Greece from March 2013 till end of September 2014, at one project (it's about my profession), therefore I'm not able to do too much with T-bird... Plus I decided to make some basic works and paint at my Buick Grand National, and somehow this turned out to be a kind of a full restoration :-). https://plus.google.com/photos/+GeorgePrzygoda/albums/5426149630767272897 I decided that due to relative young age of the Grand National (comparing to Tbird 65), the works can be performed by a local workshop at my home city, even without me being there (the owner is my friend). But for Tbird I want to be present at the process, so it must wait... Greetings to you and Kurt, I will contact Kurt regarding Tbird when the time will come.

John, is this and http://forums.aaca.org/f117/old-oil-drain-recessed-plug-wrench-358309.html still available ?

:confused: you are right about "big cars" mounts for my cars - now I see the post is not in the Riviera section ! That's why I was confused ... Thanks for the note !

Ted, any pictures ? Are you accepting PayPal payments ?

Is it still available ?

YES - I think you are right ! Now I realized that I saw it once there, at the end of the hose. Thanks a lot !

I have a question about this part: I got it with other Riv 65 parts, but I don't know what is it. Not even sure if it is for Buick ? Any ideas ?

Will it fit Riv 65 ?

Haha - funny - a guy from Germany is looking for a contact to a person in California, and another guy from Poland is helping. Well - this is what Riviera community is ! FYI: Derek has replied - he said he will inform Dave to take a look here.

Will try to help - will contact one guy (Derek), who is making paint jobs for Dave. Will let you know.

As the topic fits my question, another one:

I like it also :-)
