    Restoring Grandpa's Ride in Santa Fe, NM

    Hello. I signed up to see if there's anyone here who can give advice on repairing and restoring my Grandfather's last car before he passed away. It's a 95 park ave. It seems like it's not one that many people bother restoring. Is there some reason?

    My guess is it's too new.

    That's pretty funny. This thing seems ancient. How old do they have to be?

    gotta have a carb.

    more seriously, that's a four door car, ain't nobody gots time for dat.


    no, actually if that has a SuperCharger it probably has the same drivetrain as the same year Riviera. i would guess that RivOwners.org would likely have a lot of good info for you.

    Nice, my truck is a 93 but it's a jeep and I've been upgrading it over the years.

    I get it. I have been thinking that when I can afford a new car, I don't want a new car. I'd rather have something with a carb that I understand and can easily work on. I can build my own computer to put in it.

    4 dr yeah. This park ave just kinda screams grandma car. Or maybe whispers it.

    Maybe I should do something wild with it. Anyone ever lifted one of these? Ha

    I don't know how many miles on the Park Avenue but it is a great car. Treated right, 300,000 is not difficult. Make a great daily driver. And cheap. They are pretty low in price.
