Re: Cox Riviera wanted to restore.
Best advise I can offer is to keep looking on EBay. They do show up occasionally. You can also search your local Craigslist and surrounding areas.
Here’s one sold last November:

Or if you want Beige, here’s a BIN

Re: Cox Riviera wanted to restore.
That’s about a 3.5 hr drive.
If I were in the market, i’d be taking a road trip

Re: Cox Riviera wanted to restore.
Mark - whew, glad you made the purchase. I didn’t want it to get lonely all by itself. I’m glad it went to a good home that will restore it. Eric’s lead will point you to the chrome bumpers and stuff, bee ready to take out a small mortgage!
If you really get hooked, here’s a basket case Corvette, just northwest of Chicago
https://rockford.craigslist.org/atq/d/corvette-tether-gas-powered/6475424500.html
“Make me an offer” ?
Edit: if you have not read thru it, here’s a link to Really good Corvette resto. You might PM him to get details on those plastic latches, so you can rebuild the front hinges the same way.

Re: Cox Riviera wanted to restore.
Excellent looking work!! Body polished up nicely. The two listing of chrome are still active on Ebay. both still under $100! but wait till the last minute or 4 seconds for them dastardly snipers

Re: Cox Riviera wanted to restore.
Yeah, it takes a keen eye to know where and what for on these cylinders. Number 2 is a very popular number cylinder. If you want to see more numbers and descriptions please go to the left hand side of this page, scroll down under “More latest topics “ and select “cylinder identification “ under the INFO headline. There is also a pictorial of side view and cut away views of the cylinders here:

Go to the left hand side and click on Technical Info”
You can spend a few hours wandering thru Martins web pages, if you want to, it’s fun and educational too!

Hi, I found the chrome at modelhaus. They are out of business but, I called them and bought all the Riviera pieces they had left in stock. I got lucky, even have some extra pieces!!
