    Well peoples I bought another wagon. TO be specific I bought another Olds Custom Cruiser. It is a fully loaded 1987 model. It has some body issues. Looks like it was repainted. And that it was hit in the rear mostly on the passenger side with a small creese in the quarter panel and the bumper being pushed in. It will need a new starter and I think I have one. I have yet to go over it thouroughly but it runs so smoothly. It has good acceleration and rides smooth. And all for $600. I hope to have pics tomorrow depending on if it rains.

PDL, PWM, PW, power split bench, full gauges, cruise(didn't tru it yet) A/C(blows ice cold) cornering lamps, Tilt column, Here are some pics.

    Best of luck with it Stickman. I had one the same color back in the mid 90's. I think mine was an '86. I loved it.

    That's the one I was hoping you would get, Stick. Believe it or not, I like that color. 600 bucks is a steal for a good runner. You did good!

    The color is listed as Competition yellow. This will be a daily driver. I can use it to get back and forth to the doc, junkyard runs and long trips where a big car would be more comfortable than the Subaru.

    Awesome find for $600! :cheers:

    I think in the movie Lethal Weapon 2, they beat up a copy of the same Olds wagon you have there. Sadly, in the first Lethal Weapon, they no only shoot but also burn a '75 - '78 Ford Country Squire in cream. :(

    What engine, and can you REALLY leave it alone as a daily driver? :)
