Rivdrivn

My wife said if I get another old car it must have automatic transmission and power steering. She didn’t say anything about RHD.

Thanks Ed. It’s also highly optioned and subtlety modified (hot rod motor, shift kit, MSD, new style headlight motor, powder coated and chromed bits, etc.). Saved it from hurricane Sandy. Never rusty, never wrecked. 5 year restoration. Very strong runner.

I have most of my cars with Hagerty and them seem very good. I recently found Grundy to be equally good and less expensive. J.C. Taylor was cheaper still. I may try them next.

I know for a fact that mistakes were occasionally made on the data plates. For example, I have a ’69 Riv that was coded as being gold but I’ve known the car since it was new and it has always been green.

Yup, looks familiar. That’s how I got hooked almost 50 years ago.

Good advice. Lately that’s just what I’ve been doing.

Looks a lot better than the last time I saw it. Great job, Ken

To my eye, it looks like roughly stock height, maybe a slight bit of rake, but wider tires plus perhaps spacers? Here is mine for comparison.

Gasparilla Concours d’Elegance

I have diversified. Here is my newest acquisition.

And Craigslist, too.

We received an award in our first Concours d’Elegance. Not bad for a driver.

There are plenty of good aftermarket choices for smaller diameter wood wheels

Yes, the ‘73 will swap just fine. You will also need to change out the steering column.

Having any luck yet?

Where’s the best place to sell a project/parts car? 1977 Corvette, runs but needs floors and a fender. Was to be a father-son project but now it’s been setting in the garage way too long.

3.42 posi from a ‘ 63 Buick. $600. Local pick up in Rockford Illinois. Contact me if interested.

FYI: Here is an interesting alternative headlight placement from a previous ROA meet.

Higher risk in this context includes not just people with chronic heart, lung, liver, or kidney problems or other serious medical conditions but also anyone overweight (bmi 25 or higher), or sedentary, or 65 and older, or with high blood pressure, or diabetes, or smoking, or dementia, etc. In other words, almost all of us.

I think I read years ago that a Pontiac convertible top from the same era fits well. Sounds like fun, good luck!

It actually did. But upside down; that was the problem. And now it’s gone. Not sure why a simple iPhone photo is too much for this website to handle appropriately.
