    Were Bucket seats standard power seats? I also see 4 way and 6 way...did not know about the 4 way option.

    Robbie, examine closely the picture of the folded forward passenger side bucket seat. Note the standard manual seat adjust (forward and backward only) on the side of the seat just above the floor. Now examine the chrome lever above the seat adjust. This is the recline lever.

    This Riv does not have power seats for the passenger side. It may have a four way adjust for the driver seat.

    That said, the 69 Rivs have available either four way or six way adjust for the bench seats. Bucket seats only have four way adjust.

    Other options for this Riv: rear view mirror map light, vacuum trunk release, speed alert.

    While it may be priced a tad high, try and find one like this, with that amount of original documentation.
    What would it cost to resto a '69 to this condition, if you could find a decent example ?
    All in all, a pretty nice '69 Riviera GS, with a few minor faults !! :TU:

    Without a doubt, this Riv is more than just a survivor. Very well cared for and babied. The sellers should have also snapped a pic of the posi rear axle since this is one of the most important components to this car.

    It seems that the 1966 through 1970 Rivieras are slowly increasing in price. They are getting upwards in age to approaching 50 years. The Rivs really are a quite good value in the classic car market.

    I have a quick question.

    I decoded most of the Fisher body tag codes on the firewall that the seller snapped. What does EUC mean? I know that this is the assembly plant code.

    The reason why I ask is that my Riv also has this same assembly plant code. TIA. :)

    You're right about me not spending that kind of money!!
    It's fun to look, though.

    Put a mars safety light and a Federal Q siren on that Red one for sure!!

    Yes, I have seen that lever on the passenger seat. Did not see it on the driver side seat. So only the driver side seat is electric.
    That's weird...it's like only on one side power windows...

    I think $33k is a lot of cash these days...but everybody has a different wallet right!?

    BTW, parchment? I read on the 1968/1969 Riviera option list that you could order parchment or black bucket seats.
    Parchment looks like buckskin...but it's slightly a different color???

    Parchment is almost a white. Buckskin is darker than parchment. Almost has a grey/green look to it

    There were all kinds of colors for a Riv interior in 69- Red, black, light blue, green, sandlewood, antique gold, buckskin, parchment and pearl white

    Hi, thanks. I have the buckskin interiour as you can see via my garage link but sometimes you do not see the difference between parchment and buckskin very well in the pictures.
