Those are my covers which I had offered to members on the forum previously, have them also on e-bay and as Ed pointed out on Craigslist. The Craigslist price is cheaper than e-bay and the forum price is cheaper than both of those. A person has committed to buying them on e-bay but, it is going on 3 days and I have seen no money. If anyone is interested, let me know because I have a feeling the deal on e-bay will fall through. I also have 2 other nice single covers for sale. Price wise the same holds true for these covers as I stated for the set of 4. I will refresh that thread.

Rivman Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was pretty sure I recognized those covers, good luck with the sale Bill. I thought about taking you up on your forum prices, BUT, I don't need any more of them that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference between this one and one for a 1966 Gran Sport would be that 1966 would be stamped into the plate instead of 1965.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried stuffing a G8 or Northstar drivetrain into one of these... Yes, GM did it several years ago. It was in their collection for a while, sold at auction, and now owned by an ROA member. You can see the story in Vol 32, No. 3, Pg 20-21. Meant to add a picture of it, you can't really see the engine, but it's a Northstar in it.

Seafoam65 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 A supercharged 3.8 would run circles around that Northstar V8 in a drag race. I have a 2000 Pontiac GTP that would blow the doors off any Caddy with that engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too familiar with them but usually 66 should be mounted on the dash pad and a different style sensor. That looks like a 67 Guidematic eye and maybe that's the switch for it.

Our67Rivi Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Hi All, I bought the '66 Riviera in post #185 about 6 years ago on eBay and sold it in early 2016. Jason's post #187 and Tom's post #189 are correct. I rarely drove the car at night but the Guidematic worked, although I was more comfortable using the dimmer switch on the floor. For those ROA members, the car was featured in the Riview - Jan/Feb 2014.

JZRIV Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Keywords - "harsh upsate winters" "extensive metal work" Unfortunately those salty winters affect more than the body sheet metal. The chassis probably has crustaceans and rust barnacles. Sounds like he is willing to negotiate and may have to considerably. Finish and paint body $10k min. Add costs of going through the drive train, brakes, exhaust, transmission, and who knows what the chrome trim is like. If its original trim can't be too good. Easily $20k to get it decent,safe, and driving reliably plus buyer has to put something back together someone else took apart. No fun even when you have labeled bags and parts. Agree it seems like project with potential on surface. If only it wasn't from rust belt. Its definitely worth looking at if someone is local. If it has buckets/floor shift that would be a help.

JZRIV Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I don't know that I've ever seen someone put a 350 in a Riv. Nice upper rad hose. On the 70 ad, people have been confusing vinyl with leather in these cars as long as I can remember. The second 67 I bought back in 1981 the "original owner" persisted it was leather upholstery.
