Sold my last 85 Riviera T-Type and I have some parts left over:

4 centercaps new in the gm boxes for the aluminum rims

1 spare used 15x6 finned aluminum rim

1 pair turbo exhaust manifolds (one side was cracked so had it repaired by a USAF welder - NICE job)

1 reman electronic climate control head unit

2 used electronic climate conrol units

1 Delco-Bose 8spkr stereo system head unit

1 set (at least 95% complete) of used chrome body trim

The whole package for $400 plus shipping costs or open to offers on individual pieces, or you pick up in Massachusetts

I went on the UPS website to try to get some rough estimates for a ball park, but I'm not sure how accurate it is without an actual zip code (MN is a big state). Generally speaking it seems pretty steep: (including insurance and fuel surcharges they are listing) the rim and centers wind up in the ~$40-50 range to ship, the headers and climate boxes are ~$30-40, and the trim parts wind up oversize+2 due to dimensions - length of the door and rocker panel ones and height of the wheel openings - and would be around $80-100. I havent mailed much in the past year or so, seems high to me, but with the gas prices maybe its right?

Oh wow,I haven't used UPS much lately either. What I realy want are the center caps and the wheel anyways, how much for them ? At least the shipping will be a little easier. My zip is 55122. Thanks Kevin

Hi There, Just a thought .... Greyhound ships large and heavy packages reasonably and very quickly. You may want to check with them. The down side is that you must ship from the Greyhound bus depot and pickup at the destination bus depot. They have a web site I believe is Greyhound Freight or Shippng. Paul Fresno, CA

In addition to the above, it has been my experience that FEDEX is less expensive then UPS, particularly for larger and heavier parcels. Good luck!

Hi, I wanted to actually weigh out the rim and caps before posting anything up again, took a little longer than expected though and I wasnt able to get out to the garage until yesterday and pick up the parts. If you were still interested though the best price I could do would be to sell the 4 center caps and the extra rim shipped in one box insured with confirmation (requires signature so they wont just leave the box in the rain for stuff to get wet) to the zip code you posted for $240. Let me know what you think.

It looks like R187 will not respond, I guess it is better to find out you're dealing with a flake this way then have money involved.
