    I am converting a 1969 Riviera to a console shift and would like to replace the exist steering column with a tilt console steering column. I am not sure if the Riviera columns are unique to the 69 Riv or will any full size 69 Buick tilt console column work? Will a 1970 Riv or full size Buick tilt console column work? Need advice and a column:)

    The only console shift was on the Riv Chuck . Or the Wildcat which used a console similar in looks to the "A" body console . Tilt steering column would need to come from a Riv . . Unless you don't care about the tilt column having the nub for the shift lever

    I believe 69 and 70 were the same . I have a 69 Electra that I plan to convert to console shift . I have the console , Buckets and Tilt column waiting . Only thing I have extras of is the bucket seats . And a Column shift tilt column and maybe a console

    I just bought the 69 Riv console Jerrod was selling so I am set there but will continue to look for the column. Thanks

    That is the coolest console I've ever seen . 69 and 70 Riv only .

    I have a black tilt column with steering wheel, ignition and key from a 1969 Riv GS that had the console shifter. Let me know if you're interested and I can send pics. Only thing is I'm in Canada so shipping might be a bit higher.

    I have a tilt from a 70 Lasabre/Wildcat. Will that work?

    Thanks Brian, I am on the track of a 69 Riv column and I am told it has to be a 69, no other model but I am going to keep your info in case I need to get back to you.
