  1. I recently acquired a 73 Riviera GS, Stage 1.   The car is a parts car and It’s a complete car minus the engine and trans. Just looking for the best place to advertise parts if people are interested. I know parts for these years are sometimes hard to come by. But looking to make some good deals for people. 

     

    I have a lot of trim. Mirrors and posi rear axle. Full frame and suspension. 

  2. Bob,

     

    thanks for the reply. I looked at my Service manual and realized he same thing. After looking at my control arms, the non GS ones don’t have the 4 holes to mount the U-shape bracket. Looks like it will require the control arms from the GS as well. 

  3. I have a 73 Stage 1 and found a guy selling a rear sway bar off of a GS parts car. My question is can I remove and mount the bar to my rear end?

     

    research is difficult. But it looks like the rear bar mounts to the lower control arms off the rear end. I have looked at my control arms and they don’t have the mount on them. Where the GS control arms  different?

  4. Just be careful with any octane boster product. I had a 69 Z28 with 11.0:1's. The octane boster used to jack up the spark plugs after awhile. You can always get leaded 100 octane plus cheap if you have a private airport near. Used to pay $5 bucks a gallon a few years back.

  5. I confirmed the "XA" is on the block. Thanks for the assistance. I will be checking the Vin stamps this weekend. Only thing I'm in need of is the stage 1 badge that was located on the grill. I've been looking high and low for the past few weeks. Was the badge specific to the year or can you cross reference them. Do they reproduce these?

  6. I know there have been some chatter about Stage 1 identification. Does anyone have any complete identification code references for the 73. Listing of number stampings and locations. I have a stage 1 car which shows true with the "W" vin as well as the original window sticker and options list. However, I am having trouble locating the "XA" stamp on the block. Can this be seen without removing exhaust manifolds on the drivers side of the engine. Where about is the vin stamped on the block and transmission?

    The resources are scarce out there.
