’67 turbine medallions are identical to those in ‘69 plain wheel covers. Extremely rare in good shape. I can show you how to restore them.
I have three non cracked medallions you can have for your dads Riv.
Not mint but very nice.Happy new year
Paul
PS there are ‘69 plain covers on eBay now.-

That brown Riv has been for sale for years
Brown on brown is a hard sell

I’m sorry but the column is gone.
You’d be surprised at how difficult it is to give this stuff away. So much is one year only
and shipping is what it is.
I still have the really nice driver grill set.

If your old cable is not broke don’t replace it. Just replace the sleeve. Most of the time the ID of the sleeve gets worn and the cable is fine.
Some new cables are junk as they twist and give inaccurate readings.
Also a Speedo repair shop owner told me to only use bearing grease for lube.

My replacement NOS grill came crated.
Too easy to crack without support.
You don’t want to see those belts at the shipping hubs and they literally throw them in the trucks by hand but occasionally get dropped

Deal of the decade!
Congrats to all

Hey Paul, did you decide to stick with the Strato-bench in your '67? I can't imagine that you found a nicer console...
No sir
I sold the seats to a cat in Texas - is putting them in a Catalina.
Gave the upholstery to Mr. Reed.
My back can’t handle that monster powered up Strato

Thanks guys. It was definitely installed onto one of the screws on the seat track frame but must have been added on there. Does anyone know what it is?

They found a home.
Thanks all
Any one interested in my console on ebay? I'll give big discount to ROA members.
Happy Thanksgiving

Mr. Ricky
First you have to pop off the horizontal chrome strip depicted in the image.
Tape everything up to prevent scratches. Use a plastic spatula to pry it out. It may spring out.
The upper valance screws are now revealed.
Then you remove all the metal valances (at the knees), ash tray assembly then center A/C louvre and duct.
Disconnect wiring /antenna.
Remove the radio knobs and nuts.
Then you have a metal support bracket under the radio (if it wasn't lost). Support radio at same time or you'll crack the plastic bezel and / or scratch the clear instrumentation lens.
Take your time.
Good time to strip the valances and ash tray door - re-paint.

'85 with only 66K on the odometer.
Sure seems legit. Only $7250.
If it didn't have the white top I would love it.
Wow

I’m not sure it’s a ‘67.
He has a uniquely cast center cap I’ve never seen before on any GM similar cover.
And the medallion is of smaller diameter.
Very interesting.

Well they were definitely an option in ‘67 and were so popular they spread to Caprices, Camaros and Corvettes.
Their 3D effect seen in person can not be matched via 2D photography.
Seven pounds each of the balance weighted sculptures didn’t appeal to some pound saving “mag” fans.
Add another pound with an added spinner and more vertigo.
Ah - shall beauty over function prevail?

I think it's likely an early '67 model year build (probably explains the '66 horn bar). I noticed it also has the same argent front parking light bezels I have on my '67. Most '67s have bright chrome in this area.
There’s a guy here in Ocala with an early ‘67 with a ‘66 horn bar.
Original?Also he hasn’t run it in over a decade. He owns a collision shop and tons of fine antique cars just collecting dirt.
Im gonna try to get it one day!
It’s metallic red with white buckets.

I’m afraid that part number is for a switch and works only for oil low warning lamps.
The oil pressure “sensor” is not reproduced that I know of.
My needle always read a little high. Monitor your oil level and you should be fine.

Have you removed the lamp access cover then tried to grip and hold the tumbler sleeve from rotating?
You might need a third hand.
Wait a minute - I wrongly assumed it to be a second gen.
Sorry

The two generations you mention won’t swap as the interfacing angles between the bodies and mirrors are off.
Check out KReeds after market mirrors on his boat tail.
They are slick and match the flow of the body lines well IMO.
Happy 2021
