I think over 90% of the Rivieras sold were sold with the V8. Reading again, I missed that the Riv also had a Buick 4.1 V6 starting in 1980... but with 125hp, I can't imagine anyone buying them. Looks like Cadillac (Seville and Eldorado) also got the 4.1 V6 as an option in '81-82. The Caddy C bodies also had it as an option from '80-82. The question is which 4.1 There is an Olds and a Buick of the same displacement apparently. Hmmm...never heard of an Olds V6 then (other than the 4.3 diesel). Wikipedia shows it as a 4.1 version of the Buick V6. http://en.wikipedia....Buick_V6_engine

Ah..interesting...never knew the Riviera had a V8 option then..thought they were all V6s.

Interesting..if I'm not mistaken, the E/Ks of that generation each had their own divisional engines, maybe only had the diesels in common (or was the diesel only at Cadillac?)

Hmmm..bendy. I wonder if the frame is broken or bent.

Interesting.

Agreed...pleasant Saturday morning read.

With all the rust that is present, this could be a starting point for a 'rat rod' style Camaro.

Saw an very clean pale yellow '75/76 Sedan de Ville 4dr ht at an intersection this afternoon, seen it around a few times before. White vinyl top, tan leather interior.

On the GMC Canyon & Chevy Colorado, the fleet option is called a Mid-Box: I've seen a couple Ford Super Dutys with this kind of bed recently.

Ok are you ready, here is a tough one. Will they offer it in red? "All Corvettes are Red" It's going to be interesting to see what the final product looks like..from the speculation, spy pics and speculative illustrations, in sounds the C7 like the could be the most change to the profile in decades, if the C-pillar and hatch area is moving away from the solid C-pillar and wraparound rear glass look it's had since '78.

Here's an example of a short rig..

Saw a red Panoz Esperante at a car wash tonight. One of those cars that I've seen so rarely I had to think about what it was...

This Ferguson sounds like a bad choice for Cadillac..he's not a car guy or product guy, just a corporate suit.

LoL...18yr old truck in good shape w/ only 106k miles for $4k seems pretty reasonable, considering the plow probably costs $2-3k or so?

Meh..black and white. I like a world full of color. I do like the concept of contentment...it's a hard one to achieve. I'm working on my strategery for escape from exile, though. Get to a better place.

Saw a clean yellow w/ white top '64 Buick Skylark convertible last night...now that our equivalent of summer is nearly here, people are getting their neat old cars out.

Saw a well-worn but still on the road white '65 Dodge Dart 2dr ht this morning..

Interesting...I've been reading about grain-free dog diets quite a bit lately, going to have to start researching it for my own diet. This sounds like a better approach from the no-carb fad that was big around 1999 (all meat, all the time)... R

That is fascinating...never noticed the resemblance, but it looks like the basic structure (remove the pad and the instrument cluster insert) is the same... the '68 Nova had a different dash design from the '69-72, BTW.

Yeah, the '70+ SS Camaros tended to have those neat 5 spoke mags w/ the chunky spokes painted gray...really like the look of those wheels.

I've seen a lot of pics of '69 Camaros w/ them, esp. in original advertising pics.

I'm glad I'm not stuck in one either.

Considering how many conservatives suffer from recto-cranial inversion or have a stick up their ass, I wonder how they feel about this subject..
