The Riviatta. I am no expert but while looking at possibly doing the same, that looks to be the later models? Actually, now that I think of it, it should be in the FSM as they were shared mechanically

With that style front bumper trim and grill the front clip is from an '86-88 Riviera.

i found a local 1986 in a junkyard.is there a list somewhere for what to grab off it.i know[by experience]that the tape player is different.its hard to tell by the picture how much of the front clip is worth buying.

The CRT is a little different but works. Modules are good.

[Jim]

There is almost no demand for the older front clip parts.

If the CRT is the older VI34 and it works, the touch screen from a Reatta will bolt right on. If it is the older CRT and it does not work, they are not repairable. 

The IPCs even though they look the same are different but mirror and window switches are the same and the headlight switch, most likely no good, is the same.

the more i look into it the more i prefer the 89 up front end.it seems that rivieras went with composite headlights in 1988 and then a whole new front end in 1989.im going to look into swapping one of those.
