hi,
currently restoring a 65 riv i was wondering who sells parts.

recently found clarks corvair parts who have interieur kits, weatherstriping and parts but what i really need are sheet metals, floor, trunk and quarters.

1st off, join the Riv club. The cl***ified section of their monthly newsletter is a gold mine.

Also, Larry Daisy (riviera Larry) isn't cheap, but he's got everything you need.

He got me through the resto on my 65. Took 3 years but it came out well.




PM me if you get stuck somewhere. I've been through this whole deal, and they're not the easiest cars to find parts for.

 

sadly youre right. i bought the car few weeks ago and de***emble it right now. drivers side is in bad shape, and former owner didnt do well...

its even more difficult to get parts here in germany, but i´ll manage that.
i could manufacture sheet metal for myself, but i try to save time.

i´ll check your links. thanks alot.

 

Wow! Germany?

Yeah, that's gonna be tough. I would e-mail Larry.

He's one of those guys who just really loves these cars, and you might be able to work out a deal where, if you buy a bunch of stuff from different people and have it shipped to him, and then have him ship all of it at once or something to save you money. He's a pretty honest guy (well, at least he was with me).
