    Very nice car, very well photographed. Has the dreaded seat-belts-attached-to-the-door thing, but I wouldn't let that stop me. Nearly 150,000 miles. The car looks so good, though, that if he had said the mileage was 47,000 and not 147,000, I wouldn't have doubted him for a second. I believe this year, 1990, was the last for the five-digit odometer. I believe it varied a bit across models of particular makes, so some 1990 Oldsmobiles might have had a 6-digit while others had 5's. Given that this was the last year of this body style, I'm guessing it has a 5-digit. None of his photos show a close-up of the dash, unfortunately.

    It's missing the roof anchors for the rear 3 point seat belts.

    Compressor for the rear air ride suspension.

    My '90 OCC didn't have them... were they removable?

    It's a really nice looking car. I personally like the door mounted seat belts and the fact that the AC works and all of the electrical doo-dads are supposedly working make it worth more money than the beaters out there. I'll bet the car passes smog without issue too, which is a big thing for this era of car. The price is still pretty high in my book, you'd have to REALLY be in love with the car for a long time at that price...

    Thank you.

    Factory Correct Time Warp Hot Rod Time now - how can I use/adapt this factory mounting configuration to supplement the low-vacuum condition at idle (not enough for power brakes) on my hot rod '77 Delta 88 B-body?

    Thats a compressor in the pic - Fine. What kind of vacuum pump (?) could I put there that would look and mount similarly?

    All you gotta do is turn the compressor around....and it becomes a vacuum pump.

    At least that's what somebody told me...........:rofl2:

    You really can't. These pumps weren't designed to provide a constant stream of air. If you constantly run it then it will burn out. I mean you can probably do it... but at the same time it'll probably fail after extended use. They were designed to air up the car every so often when weight\passengers were added to the back seat\trunk.
