Sweet treatment on this one. I wonder what its fate was.

WOW! What a car!

15 x 8 rims with "state of the art" Goodyear Wingfoots. Now that's a sweet setup.:biggrin:

That was one of the nicest lines GM ever came out with but when they put the second generation tranny they didn't hold up. The first gen tranny was based on the turbo 400 and it would last really well. I've always liked the Riv line untill it went transverse.

The Rivs THM325-4L shares about half of it's parts content with the THM200-4R. IMO it wouldn't be very hard to make one death-proof. From what I understand the 84-85 BJ code trans axle is pretty much to the Riv what a BRF code is to a Turbo Regal. And I must have owned or parted out 6 maybe 7 of them over the last 20 years.
