Riviera63 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) For sale are 4 of the main components of the Electro-Cruise cruise control set up for the 1963, 1964 and 1965 Buick Riviera. These are original pieces that are in very good condition. These components were removed from a driving, functional 1964 Riviera. These are not pieces that have been taken from a car that has been sitting 30 years or more in a junkyard. It was reported to me by the previous owner that these were functioning, working components when removed from his car. They include the power unit, engagement switch, engagement switch bezel, engagement switch light (tested-working), engagement switch knob, the brake release switch and the relay assembly. These components should also work in the 1963 and 1965 Riviera but, there may be some cosmetic differences between years. You would be hard pressed to find all of theses components in this condition together in one package. Please PM me if interested. Thanks.

RivNut Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 @Riviera63 Does your unit also include the speedometer head? Nothing shown will work with out a cruise control specific speedometer head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTX-SLPR Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I have a gauge cluster for a cruise car that I'm more than willing to sell if someone is trying to gather the parts for this. Edit: I should make it clear I have the carrier panel for a cruise car, not any of the gauge guts before it looks like I have the missing speedo head. I'll dig it out of the shed today and get a picture up. Thanks Edited February 19, 2022 by CTX-SLPR Clarification (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTX-SLPR Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Sorry for not getting pictures up, my Suburban sprung a massive fuel leak last weekend and I've been fighting it as I had to disassemble a lot of things to get to the busted regulator and "while I'm in there" bit hard and has not stopped biting as the distributor body cracked...

I bought a somewhat “crispy” cruise speedo unit out of Canada for $40, which is headed my way now. I’m wondering if the cruise specific portion of it is a bolt on to the back of a regular speedo, or is it an entirely different animal. I’m assuming that the speed minder pointer gets repurposed to become the cruise set speed control. Also would be interested in reading how to modify my brake pedal arm to fit the cancel switch. Evidently needs to have a hole drilled in a specific spot. Thanks, Deano Edited February 27, 2022 by Deanoko Added an inquiry.

CTX-SLPR Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I have the old speedminder speedo head from my '64 I could include but mainly I have the dash carrier panel with the cutout above the speedo for the switch. Bought it out of Wheatbelt a decade ago looking for another carrier to modify to put my Autometer gauges in and ended up just gutting my original. Will try to get a set of pictures today.

Deanoko Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 If it's also an AC car, that might work. Or at least get a template of what needs to be opened up to accept the cruise switch. I cant recall if that whole thing is plastic or metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTX-SLPR Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Snapped a few pictures and will get them up tonight or tomorrow morning. I did notice that the bulge for the back of the speedometer is larger than I remember on the standard speedo cluster in addition to the cutout. It is an AC carrier.

CTX-SLPR Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Pictures as promised. Didn't have a chance to dig out the speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanoko Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Those photos are very helpful, both for the cutout shape and for noting the fastener positions holding the whole piece to the dash. Thanks! I'm going to try to correctly modify my part to accept the cruise switch, but if that doesn't work out I may reach out to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
