Lucky #7 or how I scored the trifecta

Well boys and any lurking girls....
My name is Sprocket and I have a wagon problem...

Despite common sense I bought another wagon today....
No just any wagon but a Custom Cruiser. I was holding out for '92 but hey sometimes you just gotta jump in and go with the flow.

last five digits of the VIN are 00868 and she was built in 11/90! So I'm guessing she's a pretty old girl!
141,96x miles and pretty clean on the inside (except for the dog hair)
Enough talk here are some pics for you


Sprocket jr digging the cloth 3rd seat


Rear pass door plastic missing. I might have one in the garage...
Not digging the rack strips painted, may have to remove and paint black


Believe it or not they are noticeably different in color


plasti chrome peeling off of grille. I'm thinking silver deck stripes to match the pinstripes.

Nice score! Obviously it must have been under $1000 to fall in your comfort zone.

Barely, but yeah it was. I lobbied for more but he was pretty firm and I was josenin pretty hard to feed the habit

I think I'm done for a good long while now. I haven't even told the Mrs yet.

Wohoo! That actually looks pretty good in red. Even got the cladding done nicely. Congrats on your complete set! Does it have the cargo cover?

How does she drive and any interesting options?

drives better than Ruby. Time for some plugs, wires,and such in her.

Window sticker coming soon. No cargo cover, no holes or mounts so doubt it ever had one.
but Pat says he has one

Sounds like ya might have gotten a pretty good deal!

I happen to have the cargo cover mounts if Pat doesn't want them.

Guess I got to save up huh!

Looks great, congrats on the good score! Interior pics?

I hate you!

Man that thing looks sweet, and if you could please tell me how to hide a B-body wagon from the opposite sex, I would be forever in your debt.

I think the cargo strips, and cladding should be silver.

I'm thinking maybe silver deck stripes or something.
Interior pics coming, it was dropping light when I snapped those last night...

They are a little big to hide. My birthday was Thursday so I said it was a birthday present to myself
Seriously though she knew I was looking for the trifecta and agrees it was a pretty fair price.

New in the last year:
shocks all the way around, cap/rotor, wires, plugs, brakes, and paint.

tires are fair, pinky size rust spots between front and rear doors (inside) on either side of the car.

I'm guessing the car has Pennsylvania / New Jersey roots by the college stickers on the window.

If you do silver cladding, I say do silver racing stripes, like Brokecello's red and silver caprice, i can't find any pics, but it looked badass, and i think hood stripes would look even better with the split olds grille.

oooo, my first window sticker! Car was built in 11/90 and delivered to first owner on 2/26/91.
Ironically, that is my birthday and the day before I bought it! woo hoo Happy b-day to me!


Olds cloth seat...sweet


PO said one week after he bought the car the plastic flew off on the interstate. He bondoed and poorly matched the paint. gonna have to fix this!


Seats faded more than worn. no tears and excellent dash pad


3 out of 4 floor mats are original (no 4th mat)
Here you can see the respray color difference pretty well.


The Disco ball was the option that put me over the top! Mirror has the compass

Very cool! Since the paint wasn't cut into the jambs very far, it'd be fairly easy to go back to the original color if you wanted.

That disco ball is a keeper.

I'm guessing a NY car since the window sticker has listed NY warranty enhancements as one of the options

Where it says dealer to whom delivered: Mack Markowitz, Hempstead, NY 11550 is a pretty good indicator too

Nice looking Cruiser man. Your one lucky....

how about some current pictures?

looks the same except the back is full of parts now (tan bonnie interior)
keep it under a cover so I didn't have to wax it, lol.

Looks real good. I might look for one of those grills myself. Starting to like them and believe I could work them into a paint scheme easier?

there nice..looks like u still have room for a few more..u can never have enough of them

If I bring another one home, I'll be sleeping in the back of one of them. I gotta loosen the load a little. It IS kind of crazy but I just can't help it!!!
