Riviera 1991 Welcome to the group you may also want to check out www buick forums dot com. there are more guys there with your year cars to help

Ed, I think there is a market for these still. I would think he stays focused on cost.

Pretty Harsh John You can see alot on these cars at the Riviera performance web site and buick forums dot com.

yeah i do Ed the problem is i wont be getting the car out until spring

60's Buick Riviera Hubcaps

I to as well have 2 89 Riviera's that i am going to part out in the spring. they have two working ABS systems

Why would you want to take the air shocks off? what are they doing to drive you crazy?

MY 85 T Type is R134A and blows good cold air. I was in Dallas a few weeks ago and Jayson has an 85 on r134a and it was 100 degrees and it barley keep up. Black car+ r134a+100 degree day=poor cooling

I have three 14oz cans

A common mistake folks make on these batterys is not replacing with the correct battery. There are two breather hose that hook up to these and folks get a cheeper battery and dont hook it up and it over heats

I just seen these in person this past weekend and i think it looks great this is going to take off on these cars i am so excited to get some on mine. It is not as bright as it apperes in the picture.

i can go check it out for anyone

Sorry i have been busy and not on line. The power supply is in the back of the dash not fun to get at. Not sure if anything else is on that both of mine work fine. I dont think that is your problem. Have you put the tester on and pull one fuse at a time (under the hood) have to say it is a ground wire bad somewhere. mine did the same thing.

that was a kool car i was there Chuck

yeah i have the 89's i need to go out to the my storage wearhouse and get pictures

Ray, I hope that all you have to do is replace the battery like john did. For my 89 Riviera that did the same thing i found the molding around the windshield was leakingand water got in the overhead consolel where the power sunroof switch and map lights is and there was a short i unpluged all that and the drain on the battery stopped. mine had 153,000 miles and was a daily driver hope this helps.

Ray your going to have to put a meter on the car and start pulling fuses and see when it drops. Could be a few different things mine. The lights for the wipers and headlights switch has it own power supply

yeah i have seen that! They are 8 OZ cans i have 14 OZ cans

I have three 14oz cans of freon for sale 75.00 a can. click on link to see pic R-12 Freon

Ed You going to get another 79-85?

I have 2 89's that i want to sell! both in good shape, both loaded with sunroof's

Michael, I hope you get the chance to Fly out to Monterey CA for the next ROA meet it's alot of fun and you meet wonderful folks from all over the USA. If i give up on my class (79-85) I am getting a 66-67.
