You are getting bad information. All 73s had same taillights.
What is the VIN? Stage 1 cars have a W in the VIN #. Stage 1s are pretty rare.

I'll also mention there has long been a misconception the GS models automatically came with buckets and floor shift console. While that combination certainly seems to make logical sense today, back...

Nice to confirm axle Ed. What type interior does it have? How are the floors and area under the base of windshield? I see it has typical bad A-pillar rust. It is amazing no one stole the StarWars...

Ed,
Post a pic of the engine and a pic of both fender scripts. I can determine if a legit GS but may take some investigation. To start, is there a limited slip tag under one of the differential...

I haven't validated alot of POPs for Rivieras but of the few I've seen 30% of them happened to have errors relative to engine or transmission codes making it obvious the POP program had its share of...

Uppers - 30-35ft lb. then tighten if needed to align next cotter pin hole. Do not loosen to align cotter pin.

Lowers - 60-65 Ft lb - then tighten if needed to align next cotter pin hole.

Here is what I have found when it comes to polishing scratches from auto glass. I'm not a glass expert, this has been my experience during various polishing attempts over the years.

Hey Tom - you were the reputable source I was referring to :hurray:.

I was studying the timing curves in the shop manual.

According to the chart for an auto trans, the vacuum adds 10...

I'm repeating what I was told by a reputable source. Originally vacuum advance added about 20 degrees but limiting it to around 10 is better for a grand total of 42
My 66 425 also had a rubber...

You're making good progress. Thanks for updating. While the body is off the frame you can document the 2 VINS stamped on the frame on the driver side. First is under where the drivers feet would be...

Are you looking for a VIN#? Thats what you'll find in the locations Ted mentioned. I never tried to see these with the body on. Not going to say its impossible but would be extremely difficult due to...

I've heard different feedback on flushes. I determined the outcome has alot to do with the type of flushing machine and the experience of the operator. With a flush, the filter typically does not get...

Look just behind the the coolant crossover just off center on the passenger side. Its stamped on the block right in front of the valley pan cover. The VIN is a few inches away on the other side of...

Too bad the tag is gone. It does seem to be nicely optioned. P/S and P/B were standard.

Besides options codes you'll need to figure out the build date for the tag as well.

I can help with...

Yea nothing like working on an arid climate car. I use oldbuickparts.com quite often and have been very happy with them. I have been dealing with them for over 20 years.

I was surprised I could...

If you had the shifting console to go with them they'd be an easier sell. Not much demand for just the buckets. If you could find someone local so they don't have to pay shipping maybe $100 for the...

I've been using the $20 Schumaker Battery maintainers that can be bought at Walmart.
As mentioned they come with the permanent leads but the wire harness may not be long enough for it to reach...

As far as I know new tanks are not available. Originals have to be restored and they almost always are dented at the back because they stuck down a little low.

Assuming there isn't any internal damage that would make rebuilding it impractical, its probably worth close to that. Prices can really vary depending on location and availability. There is always...

Congrats on your car. Nice choice. From what I can see its not a GS. They had the chrome air cleaner, aluminum valve covers (your covers do not appear to be 66 model year) 3.42 rear axle, GS logos on...

The earlier (late 60s) Rivs had the VIN stamped on the frame on the driver side near the driver floor board front but they were not visible unless the body was off or someone very creative figured...

[quote=Deanoko;74543]Hmmm.. I seem to be the only one answering my questions... :confused:/quote]

And a fine job you did! I was watching to see if anyone repsonded. Thats a great link. Thanks for...

Congrats on your purchase. Sounds like a nice unmolested car. Talk to Tom Telesco. You won't regret the call. You'll find out all you need to know and more.

If there are no reproduction covers available everything needs made special the price is going to be higher. Obviously the type of upholstery has a lot to do with it as well and I'm not familiar with...

There are several places that sell prebent systems for the 66 and 69 but I don't think any are mandrel bent. If you are building for HP and trying to reduce the back pressure with mandrel bent pipes...
