    Congratulations!

    I was kind of sad when you had to sell your wagon so it's great news!

    Thanks everyone! For the time being it will remain stock. I don't have money to pour into it, so for now I'll fix and drive what I have. It has 132K, but you'd never know it looking at it. The interior shows very little wear, and it's solid as a rock. The paint needs a polish, but theres still shine left in it...

    As I mentioned earlier, there's damage to the right front fender, and it runs into the door a bit. I think the door could be repaired, and the fender replaced. I'll post up more pics this weekend - I don't have any daylight time to play before then...

    I always liked the Capy's done in Impala SS style (i.e. silverfox), and I love the custom wagons that are lowered and smoothed... Some day I'd like to do that. I know there are some wagon purests that won't approve, but that's my taste...

    Here's a couple examples...

    I never noticed until I posted these pics that there are two different c-pillar configurations. This last pic looks to be an Olds or Buick - it has the roof and the pillar section that curves back at the bottom. The two Capy's above don't have that...

    I have lots to learn about these cars...

    Here's mine if I changed the wheels. That might be a good look for the time being...

    All Class! Pays to flirt with the old gals eh! :rofl2:

    Yeah, I'd detail the heck out of her just to get a feel for what all is in it. I always get ideas when I start to do some TLC on mine.

    6-cylinder Turbo (probably a 4-banger turbo.)Ver
    5 on the floor
    Racing suspension
    Ceiling console

    ...

    Very cherry!

    Looks like this may be going to my son... His car died, and I haven't had time to play with it with my new job... Boy it's hectic working for a living...

    Wow! Totally forgot about this thread. Congrats, 442!

    You mentioned the different quarter window shapes. I believe Olds changed shapes between '91 and '92. Yours has the curve at the bottom on the front applique', while the '92's is straight - reference that other white one above in post #51
