    With the help of Ron Mooney(Tufbuick), I managed to purchase a nice clean 1998 Riviera this week. The car was basically mint, and had a few minor issues that I took care of last night at(Skyhawk) John Csordas' shop. These cars really go!, and the ride is premo. Thanks for your help, Ron

    Thanks Everyone,
    Spent the day washing and waxing. Then changed the oil in the crankcase, and transaxle. Next is to drain the coolant, flush it, and add a fresh fill. Then I need to find a good place to mount a small boost gauge:Brow: , just to see when that supercharger is doing it's thing:laugh:

    Nice, very nice. Looks to be in some shape. Driver side pillar is a good place for the boost gauge.

    ONLY THE BEST FOR MY BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!

    Larry had asked me to look-out for either a Regal or a Riv since I'm a dealer and go to the auctions on a daily basis.

    I felt bad that he missed out on the last Regal GS that I bought......( that one was mint and the wife loved it)......SOOOO....

    Any of these Supercharged cars are a tough find in good shape, and I knew I had to get just the "Rite-One" for my best friend. I happened to stumble on this one without really trying.

    I never buy a car unless I try it out first and I saw this as it was going to the block to be sold. Not having tried it, but being impressed by how "MINT" it was I figured I'll give it a shot...........If I get it cheap enough and Larry doesn't like it I can resell it and make a few bucks.

    I "STOLE IT", Larry loved it, and now My buddy is smiling and kickin' "RICER BUT"............Watch Out HONDA BOY.........Larry will Kick your A** with CLASS.

    While your doing all the basic maintenance you may want to change the supercharger oil. Be care that old stuff really stinks. You can pump out the old stuff with your basic kitchen soap dispenser with a small section of extension hose attached to it. I believe it takes two new bottles of oil to refill and they cost about $8.00 each at your local dealer. Enjoy the ride.
