    Ohh man, it hurts to see such a great car die like this.

    You said that it had bucket seat and Console.
    Is it a Riviera GS.
    I bet it has a Posi rear end.

    What about the Power windows.
    I would REALLY need them. Just the rear ones.
    (Like I wrote in your other thread)
    They won´t fit your GS. Keep the motors for your GS.
    But PLEASE help me out with the rear regulators.
