That rust is way more extensive than you think. What you see is fraction of the damage. Worth saving!

What a nice car. It sure is a shame that it was moved to a wet location for storage. I subscribed and am patiently awaiting your restoration. Thank you for saving this beauty.

Guidematic headlamp control superseded Autronic Eye! FYI. Have it on my 1964 Pontiac Grand Prix. Speedminder for setting your limit on how fast you wanted to go before buzzer sounded off a warning. What happened to the radio? Bill

I’m used to saying Autronic Eye, ha ha, because of my 1950’s car interest. Thanks for the correction.

Sorry I did not watch far enough initially to see the AM radio. As much as this car is optioned I would try to locate an AM/FM radio and a reverb setup that would mount in the car as an available dealer installed option. Bill

Thanks, I have been picking up some parts for it and a FM radio is on my wishlist. I haven’t considered reverb for this one but I suppose it would be fun

Waiting for the follow up video. Did it ever get running? Still have it or did you give up and sell?

Still have it and it will run but it’s not to the daily driver condition that I wanted it to be. Life got in the way and I’ve had to finish some projects for other people first, plus doing some home projects now too. I would love to be able to drive it regularly. I’ve picked up some parts for it… just waiting for the time to get to it. Thanks for watching

Hey Nix: How's the 64 Riv coming along??
@lrlforfun Жыл бұрын
I thought of making a play for a very similar one to this a few weeks ago. The stars didn't align. It did run and drive and the seller claimed it was rust free. The seller gave a crap presentation and between the distance and the price and unknowns I let it go.
@NIXONGarage Жыл бұрын
That’s too bad. I’ve been I a similar situation. I drove 10 hours and got a hotel room for the night. Went to see the car in the morning and found the seller flat out lied to every question I had asked. I ended up turning around and going straight home without the car. Too bad there are people who misrepresent and waste time. I hope you are able to find the right car for you!

@@NIXONGarage Thanks Nix. I collect the First-Gen Riv and know them extremely well. In my case the seller wasn't a liar, he just gave lousy pictures and didn't take me serious. Many sellers do that thinking that if a prospect doesn't show up on their door with hundred dollar bills in their hand they are not serious. BTW, what are your plans for this unit?

Are those wheels or wheel covers? Bill
@NIXONGarage Жыл бұрын
Those are called Turbine Wheels. They are aluminum or some similar metal and they bolt onto the steel wheels. I still need to find the center spinner caps for them. They are not the same as a regular spinner hubcap. Thanks for the comments

As far as the FM and reverb , I will keep my eye out for both of them on eBay for you! Bill
