    Some one left the plugs out, motor's stuck, carb's stuck, drivers window is gone was covered in plastic to keep most of the weather out. Options, Cruse, tilt, AM/FM, buckets, console, wood steering wheel, trunk release. PS PB, Pwr windows, Air
    Luckily the interior was stored inside, but I've not seen it yet.

    It also has a posi tag, and the GS emblem on the dash, problem is the weather has just about destroyed the wood on the dash emblem.

    :ball: :ball: :ball: But on the other hand :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: more good parts for folks restoring one.

    Theres a lot of good parts on that car. The 3.42 limited slip axle is definitely worth getting.

    Bruce, if you buy that car and want to part it out, I want the cruise set up. Let me know how much and when...

    I have found that most '66 Riv GS's came with a 3.23 posi.

    Keep us posted. If you score the car, I'm thinking there are a couple of pieces I could use.

    Thanks,

    Is the breather assembly on this '66 in pretty good shape? I need one of these "pancake" breathers that fits a quadrajet. Let me know if it's available and for what price.

    That truely does make me sick. I once owned a family owned 66 Riviera GS in plum with the plum strato back bench seat interior. I loved that car. 1966 Riviera's are one of the all time best examples of clean beautiful US styling ever. I hope that car you posted got some love in the end.


    :blast:To all the owners of cars that think it is better to let them rot away then give them a good home. :idea2:

    Hi,

    Sorry this car is not savable, there is not one body panel that's not rotted thru, the rear quarters were patched poorly many years ago and need it again, the drivers door has bee bashed so hard it broke the window glass. :(
