NC1968Riviera Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Check with David Jackson on the 1963-1999 Riviera group on Facebook. He sells a new headlight motor kit for 65 Rivs. Another Riviera dealer in the same FB group is Rupert Carollo. He recently started selling a 65 headlight motor kit. He also sells wood veneer kits for center consoles and manufactures reproduction Riviera owner name plaques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 That's one of Larry Daisey's specialties. I think his website is www.rivparts.com. Theres also a video of him discussing 65 headlight motors on YouTube. Check him out; his profession is Rivieras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1965rivgs Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Oarsman, Steve Lorenzen offers a rebuilt motor with exchange of your old core for what I think is a very reasonable price. He is a member of the ROA but also sells the motors through Ebay. Here is a link to his auction. I would suggest you call the number listed and speak to him personally for a price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1965-BUICK-RIVIERA-GS-CLAMSHELL-HEADLIGHT-HEADLAMP-MOTOR/233195578514?epid=654482175&hash=item364b8a2492:g:gy0AAOSwmLlX8HDn&frcectupt=true Tom Mooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinRiviDad Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I bought from Steve Lorenzen years ago. I had no core to begin with & he still sold me a rebuilt motor. I was so happy. But it sat on my shelf for years. When I finally got to the point on my build to install the motor it no longer worked. I called Steve & without hesitation he asked me to ship it to him. He went thru it, fixed it, shipped it back & it was in my hands within a week. He wouldn’t even let me pay for shipping… Stand up guy…where do u find this type of service nowadays…in this Rivi community that’s where 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I put one of Steve's motors on my Riviera five years ago and it still works great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiskHarv Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I recently had Steve Lorenzen rebuild my 64 Riviera power seat motors and the cost was again more than fair and the quality of the work exceptional ! Steve has restored Four Note Horns and a Guidematic for me with the same results. Steve couldn't be more helpful and is great source of knowledge on any thing Riviera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
