Quasi semi-unofficial Custom Cruiser Registry project

I had a thought on the way home tonight about starting a registry for our beloved OCCs.

But then I though about starting a Bubble wagon registry for all three makes.

I dunno, discuss in this thread and if there is enough interest, I can start one up (need to brush up on by database skilz anyway).

Hopefully you'll have a white '92 to add soon.

I like the bubble wagon idea. Probably because I don't have any OCCs.

^ What he said.

Oh, I like the OCC idea...there are not too many of these around. Poor little orphans!

do it

Sure! Would be cool to see how many are in the family.

so as not to limit myself I just reserved the domain name :

stationwagonregistry.com

I'm out of town on my daughters laptop, so now web development this weekend....

Will post up when I get something going.

occ's are beloved?
wow.

"occ's are beloved? wow."


Of course they are..., When your wagons name is "Custom Cruiser" That say it all right there!
And on top of that, when you have specialty vehicle output for the 92 model year for olds,
( I think like 3500 olds wagons were made that last year) It is indeed rare and beloved.

My 92 GMC Typhoon, there were only 2400 made. So the OCC is indeed in good company.

Personally, I think that someone at olds the last year of the wagon program, tried to skew the bean counters, and this was there last attempt to make a sporty wagon with full instrumentation, tach and such. It would also be the last year olds would produce a wagon, and a rear wheel drive.

^ What are those wheels? I LOVE them.

hey thanks stingroo! Any relationship to flasheroo?
They are Cragar SS's 18x9. They are the perfect size for the wheel wells.
Hey..., you are from my hometown..., Jax.
I lived in the southside area towards the beaches, growing up.
of course...., that was many automobiles ago. : )

Other than the additional time necessary to enter the information, a database for all three would be appropriate. What info are you going to record? Year, VIN, owner name, ???

Flasheroo here and please count me in for the registry.Hey Oldscruiser I am in Yorktown.How close are you to me because we Are still
having car shows here at the Harley dealership on saturday nights.Now that its cooler the place was filling up at 4pm today.
Everyone Have a great memorial day!
Jim aka Flasheroo

Flasheroo,

Love to get down that way and visit, however, the Tranny is acting up, and i'm saving my nickels for a custom built tranny, that will sync up with my gear ratio.
I'm actually getting ready to winterize it and stick it in the garage.
What sucks though, is that my primary ride at the moment, ( 86 El Camino) is having it's own issues with the trans. It's much cheaper at the moment to fix the Elky's tranny.

However, I do look forward to meeting you one day when I get my $2900 new tranny in the wagon. Come on tax rebate!

Does anyone know the status of the registry? Is anyone putting it together?

Holy crap!! thats a pile of money for a 4l60e/700r4,.better talk to shane cobb, at carolina performance trans, he's a decent guy,. and a well done tranny will be about half what you're looking at,.
unless of course you're doing a level 25 with a trans brake, 5000 stall, reverse valvebody etc,..

Um....I got as far as registering a domain name, but life has gotten in the way as they say and this little project is in stasis at the moment. It WILL happen, just more a matter of when. Six day work weeks and a sloooooooooow kitchen remodel are the biggest culprits.

Of course tomorrow I'm making a 300 mile round trip just to trade some leather RMS seats for some cloth Bonnies....but you know priorities

@ phantom 309

Well, I might have been a little dramatic.
It's the tranny I'd like to have, super bullet proof, with all the bells & whistles, plus the shipping. lol More than likely I will get something a bit more realistic, by what I can save up by spring. (Tax Time)

Problem is I don't have anyone around the area that I feel comfortable with working on my transmission. Shady & questionable. Plus I also want to add a few customized options on as well, and have the ratios sync up with the rear end.


@ Sprocket

Lol, those dadgum priorities!
Nope, I understand about staying busy & stuff. At least it's work huh?
I was just curious had it been started. Keep us posted, and thanks!
