Guest driver2 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I would like to purchase a set of 6-way power seat tracks for my 1983 Buick Riviera.contact Rich at wilsonr2007@windstream.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Rich you would not BELIEVE the tech calls I get on power seats! AT least maybe one call every week! A lot of them are looking for the "transmission" that moves these. I guess they aren't available either. Would be nice if someone re-maned these...I will be adding the 6-way power seat to one of my Riv's in the next few months. I'll keep an eye out for one for you too. There are a lot of Eldo's in yards down here so those should work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 There are at least 8 Rivs of that vintage in the 2 local u pick yards I shop at. Can I just power up the car w/o the key and see if they work? Also are they like the Reatta in that they have a base, and if so what color do you need? I have no idea what they would be worth, any opinion? Are you interested in me looking? lemke1044@aol.com if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest driver2 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Rebuilt my tracks from one I found from a Tornado. Reinstalled in my car and everything works great. Thanks for offering to pull them. The only thing I need now is a right sun visor. I will be checking the vendors when I go to Hershey & Carlisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosuzguy Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Rich passenger side visors (/w illuminated mirror) is another thing. No one can seem to repair these to keep them up! Sure would be another avenue for a repro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wildcat465 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 There are at least 8 Rivs of that vintage in the 2 local u pick yards I shop at.Dave, care to share the names of those 2 yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 KK Auto Savage has 3 and Gibson's Auto has 4-5. Just was out to Gibson's. Both have Appleton phone #. Neither one has a website... There is a '83/'84 Riv. that has recently came in. It has 95000 miles on it. The car must have been driven by a little old lady as the red leather seats are virtually flawless. The only thing wrong with the interior is a sagging headliner and a droopy drivers sun visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly_John Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Just a comment: If someone from out of the area wants parts from either of these two Wisconsin yards, I recommend buying them through Dave. He will choose the best part from among the many Rivs in these yards (the junk yard parts remover could care less what you get!)....Dave will carefully remove the part....he will probably get a better price on it for you, since he buys there frequently....and he will carefully wrap the part for shipping (something most salvage yards almost NEVER take the time to do).I know Dave has a full-time career doing other things, so he doesn't need my unpaid commercial to put bread on the table. However, I wanted folks to consider the value Dave adds, in case a person is tempted to deal with these yards direct.

DAVES89 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks John for the endorsement. I do have another job, but have much free time. I only charge a nominal amount for my time. This extra cash is used to either buy parts or labor for my two Reattas. I don't pull junk and am careful as you say with shipping. I just wish a Reatta would come in.
