    Saved a 73 Riviera from the crusher. Only had 30k miles. Hasn't ran in 8 yrs. Pulled the distibutor cap off, rotor button 180 degrees out. Turn rotor butto around, started right up. In the process of fixing it up.

    This is really eerie and wondering if I should post it..Just this morning before logging on and seeing this thread, I was going through a box and found the front Riv emblem off my 30 year's ago parted and junked 73 Riv..Haven't touched this box in years..This Riv was also the same brown with beige top as mine. Had to post this but it's freaky.
    Now to say Chris this car looks fantastic!! You nailed the look! :)
