Guest Kinmann Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 (edited) Hello, my name is Kevin. I'm 31 and recently purchased my 3rd Riviera! I fell in love with the Riviera when my car freak dad brought home the 1971 Riv that he eventually sold unfortunately at the time for a 1970 don't get me wrong....I love both, but I sat on his lap and drove that Riv down country roads. I bought the '71 back from the guy after my dad passed. I was given the 1970 he had when he did pass. Both have been restored and sit in a heated storage facility! I just purchased an all original early production '63. Man, I wish my dad was here to cruise with, not the case....but, I'm going to restore this one with him in mind! If he was around....I'd challenge him with stats.....that's a boring game we had that I loved! Go to car shows and he would ask me questions about each car.Anyways, im leaning towards doing an extensive on frame restoration....i cant see half a#%^ng it. The best thing I did was join the ROA! Thanks for all your knowledge and future support! Edited April 9, 2011 by Kinmann Misspelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
