Hey all, Its Briz. I dont remember registering on this forum but my info is stored so I probably did sometime in the past. I have aquired 2 last gen Rivs and will probably be parting them out. Will post in the correct place. Thanks for having me.

Finally registered but have been reading the pages for a long while I saved 2 95's S/C from getting squashed at the metal recycling facility both 1 owner cars one with 85k and the other with 145k the higher mileage one is nearly mint condition save for a few dings in the doors not a speck of rust considering it lived in the rust belt all its life....unfortunately the lower mileage one has rotted out unibody at middle body to frame mount plus electrical ghost like no tomorrow greetings

If you mind the maintenance and use the info on this site, the higher mileage one will make a very nice driver for a long time.

An old guy owned it from new....he just turned 90 and the family took it to the scrapyard....they didn't even bother to try and sell it.....I'm guessing garage kept all its life and not driven in winter...all original still has all gm part tag stickers on lines underneath everything except air working as intended....

I would hope my kids would know what ones to crush and which to keep. Probably by then the heard might be thinned out.

Glad you saved it and hope you get to enjoy it. my car was taken away from a 90-year-old lady. I believe her kids sold it to a dealer for pennies. I wish it was in as good a shape as your car but it was pretty good.

I kinda like these rims, they look like they could have been a stock rim in the 90's.
