I'll have to read those.
Yes my friend had the 79 Riviera with the 350 in it. I thought the Riv right before that (the rear wheel drive 77 and 78 Riv) was nothing special, and pretty boring compared to the other ones. I saw one yesterday. But before that you had some serious style, including the boattail Riv.

You dont think I knew that ? it said until Aurora. Although some would like to deny that the Aurora was the new Toro. Why ? Because it was a 4dr ? Same idea, same concept, different name, extra doors.

FD - from the local want adds - 1978 riviera
403, V8, auto, wht ext & int, chrome wheels, no rust, runs great, $900 B/O Glenmont, NY (51
478-9562. There is a picture of it also. Sounds like a great buy, 403'* got some torque left, castrated but still BIG. Yes these were the "flat" years but I can deal with this one better than the 79-85. There was one 77-78 on Ebay last year had pictures of the white leather interior, it was awsome. The 74-5 &6 was still kinda cool. Looked at one of them same year I got the 75 Delta conv. The 66-67 & 68-69 are my favorites. Your into dashes and gauges have you seen the barrel speedo ? I believe they are all still working too. Older dashboard werent much though, untill you go back to the early 60'*. Have you seen the Chrysler Sperical dash gauges. WOW - digital dashes bow defeated !

That barrel speedo - is that the big round one? I think I've seen it. The body style right before the 77-78 RIV is cool. Then the boattail right before that.
I'll have to see some pictures of the Chrysler speedos.
I like the 79 to 85, too! Even though it looked very close to the Eldorado/Biarritz and the Tornado/Caliente. Kind of a pimpin car.
