    The owner started out wanting way too much, after sitting on it for a month the price is coming down.
    Rolling shell, 3 of the 4 side windows intact, no front or back glass, no seats, has most of the other interior parts, sheet metal is not in bad shape.
    What's it worth?

    I wouldn't even consider it but I have a complete running car that the body's shot on.

    the two of them put together as a mild custom with a 66 425 dual quad / ST400 would be cool.

    thanks

    OK Bruce: There must be very few first-gen Rivs in your area. If that red car were here in California it would be gobbled up by the guys that break them up and hustle the parts out of their back door, ebay and Craig's list.

    While they don't grow on trees on the West Coast they do seem to pop up regularly on Craig's list for a reasonable price. Unless there was definitely, absolutely, positively no hope for a first Gen Riv I personally would not break one up.

    Good luck on your hunt, Mitch

    Hi Mitch, thanks for the reply, the hope is to combine the two into one. The red Riv being the primary and the grey Riv used for all the parts the red one is missing.

    A mild custom in my book would restore the body to original, maybe drop the suspension, 17" wheels and hide the head lights in the signal lights installing a 65 grill
