| I remeber Sprocket had all 3 at one time, but has anyone else managed to own all 3 wagons at the same time? I am looking into joining this exclusive club myself, but am on the fence about the car. I looked at a 91 OCC, 110k. The car is relatively rust free, the spare well is rusted though thanks to a leak that filled the compartment, and the DS well is on its way there too. Runs great, drives nice. The paint is shot, clear coat is pretty much gone on most of the car, has some dents. Theres an exhaust leak by the manifold, tires are about 30%. It has cloth red seats, manual climate and manual passenger seat. I talked him down to $750 which seems decent to me, but I have run into the out of space dilemma. What to do, what to do! | |

| Dang I want an Olds.....
And what the hell do they make those tank straps out of that they rust like that up there??
Geez that's just crazy!
It looks like a pretty car. If I can get rid of the 79 Buick Limited it's spot in the carport will be filled with a Custom Cruiser. | |

| Forgot to mention the work he had done. About a year ago he had a new water pump radiator and master cylinder installed, and last week the starter was replaced with a rebuilt. The AC does work too. it also comes with those window visors that are hard to find . | |

| Oh you so NEEEEEED that car. Price is right too! Both of my OCC were the same color off the floor. One cloth which you've seen and is now gone and Big Red with it's trashed leather interior.
BTW whats the VIN? Both of mine were minted 11/90. Acme Racer is also holding a trifecta, all three in two tone blue. | |

| I want a 92 occ with a LO5.
You should do it. You know you want to or you wouldn't have asked - and you'd be hard pressed to find a cheaper way into the club.

| Get the car and worry about the space later.Had my OCC for 7 years and still love its looks.Whats so hard about finding those visors,I have a brand new set in the box that are held on with 3M tape.Also have a new set of the snap in visors although the rear visors in this set fit in the window channels ,there is still a little tape involved.

| If you pass, let me know. I'll come visit and buy it. I have a case of rustoleum that harasses me every time I walk into the garage... And you can keep those ugly visors. Seriously. You pass, you let me know. | |

| Here's the OCC on google street view, looks like he has been trying to sell it for a long time judging by the leaves on the trees. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=272+Stanley+Street,+New+Britain,+CT&layer=c&sll=41.655896,-72.767949&cbp=13,299.63,,0,4.31&cbll=41.655702,-72.767516&hl=en&sspn=0.006295,0.006295&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=272+Stanley+St,+New+Britain,+Hartford,+Connecticut+06051&ll=41.655792,-72.767526&spn=0.004425,0.010278&z=17&panoid=i-jgCZAITcOlzjW-Gbp2mg | |

beware that 92 and 91 OCC cladding attaches to vehicle completely different. I found it out after I got an almost complete set of 92 and it don't fit on the 91. Not trying to hose Fred's sale, just sharing not so common knowledge. You can make it fit, don't get me wrong, but it's not pop it right on there. | |

| The space problem has been kind of sorta "fixed". I'm gonna sell my 85 C20 dually to make a spot. I have barely used it in the last year. Anyone need a truck? | |
