  1. So the car is now mine and I picked it up. Had some problems on the back transfer, a cable fall of the alternator so that the battery was empty when I restart the engine. Today I checked the car for problems and realise that there is a lot to do. A/C compressor missing Power antenna, original radio (find some newer radio in the glove box), courtesy light, washer pump, hazard flasher, cruise control doesnt work I hope you can help me to solve following points: 1. Im searching for some repair manuals to restore my Riv. Which is the best choice? Is this the best choice? Rockauto Link 2. I think the biggest part dealer with international shipping with good prices seems rockauto (seems my favorite)? Find also some parts on opgi and oldbuickparts. Is there any other dealer which you can recommend? 3. I add some photos the weatherstrip sealing of the doors is really poor. But I dont know which is the right part 4. I only know modern cars but I smell a lot of gas as I drove the car at home, today as I open the garage I also smell a lot of gas. Is it normal? I found behind/under the ar filter a hose which connects the air filter and the engine. Around the connection between the hose and the engine is some fluid. It was wet and smells like gas but I wonder that its not dry maybe some oil/gas mixture? 5. Has anybody for me a photo with open trunk? Some specialist glue in 2 golf balls in two holes 6. All cigarette lighter cant deliver 12 v for gps/smartphone right? 7. Is there any easy access to check the switches for power antenna, courtesy light, washer pump and hazard flasher? 8. Cruise control button makes some magnetic noise but cant feel any cruise control 9. What is the floor switch under the parking brake for? 10. Does somebody have some inspection plan? Sorry for all the questions ;=) The Riv is now in good hands!
  2. News news news. Looking at the Riv second time also with Inspection from under. Looks very good no big rust a little bit oil lost seemed that it is the oil temp or oil pressure sensor? Finally I call the seller and buyed the car!
  3. 95 Octan? What is your fuel consumption in average? 9-18 is a big difference.
  4. Thank you for your content. Anybody has a detail photo of the front wheel with the correct rims? The seller will not believe that it is the wrong wheel. As it was requested the Price is 16000 € actual 19300 USD. @Pat I dont know what they done with the wiring the blue one seemed Not been connected. Headlight goes good! @Riv Thanks, I dont rrealised that the body side moldings isnt original. I realised that I dont check a Lot. Not tested the Instruments or rust above the Doors. What is the fuel consumption for the 430 engine?
  5. So back from visitting the Riv. I will attach some photos maybe you have further tips nd your opinion for me. I didnt see any big problems only the paint was not as expected but seems original. Seems that it is an ex car from the air force or a member of the air force? Cant put it on a hoist today I talk the the seller to reserve the car until monday.
  6. Thank you guys. Nice to hear that it is fixable to repair the AC. I will look at this in detail at Saturday. Also I will look under the car. @NC68Riviera Why you wonder about the color?
  7. Hi, Sorry for my English. My name is Sebastian and I'm from Germany. On Saturday I will look at a 1968 Riviera http://www.classic-car-ranch.de/index.php/cars/buick/1-detail First may you can help me If this is a good choice? The only negative which I found on the pics is that it hasn't the stock A/C. Is it possible and worthwhile to add a spare part A/C? Thank you for your help
