1965 riviera gs

[Bebeul]

I have a dual quad carb setup on the car with two AFB carburetors (front #3645, rear #3925)
The rear transmission have a good 3,42 ratio !

But, when i look for the option 3T (rear center armrest) , the car haven't it !
Could you please send me a photo of this option. Is it possible to buy it today ?
Would anybody have a photo story of a frame off restoration for looking some detail ?
Thanks

What is AteUpWithMotor ?
I don't find traduction !

[bob k. mando]

AteUpWithMotor is a guy who writes historical articles about various aspects of the automotive industry, especially in the States.

I don't find traduction !

it's an idiom and likely doesn't have a direct translation. "ate up" can mean that something has consumed your attention. it's an expression which comes from the American South.

Hello,
I found a new number on the chassis, 5H033578 .
What does it mean ?

[Buford26]

Those numbers look like the last 8 digits of the car serial number, but the third digit has to be something other than a 0. If it is a Riviera, it should be a 9, so 5H933578. Does this match the last 8 digits of your cars serial number?

5H933578
5 = 1965 model year
H = built at Flint, MI (all Rivi's built at Flint)
933578 = sequential number, starting at 900,001 for Flint built Riviera and Wildcat

(Car serial number would be 494475H933578 for a Riviera.)

Yes, i clean the chassis and i find the number 9 like you say !
Are there any other places where I can find this number ?

I realize that the chassis and the plate don't have the same number !

I see too, that the first color of this car is blue, the fisher plate is ZZ (gray) !!!!

This car comes from a car break to have so many different origins.
