My name is Kevin. I was referred to this site by stingroo (ray.) I have always loved wagons for their mix of versatility and fun. when I was growing up my dad had a pair of 77 b body wagons one after the other- one was a catalina and the other was an impala. until this january I had a 1991 fwd cutlass cruiser (mini wagon) with a 3300 that was the best car I'd ever had (except it couldnt haul plywood) .
Anyways I'm glad to be a part of the forum and hopefully 1 day I''ll pick up another wagon (I'm a big fan of the rmw and occ wagns).

Kevin is a friend of mine from another forum who found me my gauge cluster, I recommended he register here and see if anyone else wanted anything else from the wagons in his yard. There seemed to be a few of them. Smile

Hey Kevin! If one of the OCCs is a 91 I'm in the market for a passenger side front cladding.
Ray didn't mention where you are located.

Hey Kevin...Sprocket said you might have some 91 OCC trim available. I am in need of the PS front fender and PS front door cladding. I also need a rear footwell cover...red would be my preference with the latch, but I would take any color (I can paint). Any chance you could come up with any/all of them?

@ Mike. its an 86 fleetwood brougham. it has 66201 original miles on it. its currently awaiting a new engine and trans (307 blew a head gasket in a wreck in January). I'm putting a vortec 350 and either a 700r4 or a 4l60E in it.
@sprocket and Fred.
the cladding is the plastic molding on the lower part of the sheetmetal correct?
@ fred
I dont know what a footwell cover is. can you describe it a bit more (or show a pic of what it is.)

also this OCC still has the taillights if anyones interested (I know they're kinda hard to come by) as well as the digital climate control (ray said those were a rare option)
they also have a 93-96 fleetwood brougham which still has the electronic climate control unit (I know thats a popular upgrade).

The trim is the plastic lower part covering the sheetmetal. There are 2 phillips head screws and 2 11mm nuts to remove per panel, and then it is removed by using a panel tool to pop the pins along the top edge (some may have a clip holding the upper part on a small nail head). Include the lower metal mounting bracket. There are some little collars in the holes for the pins in the doors, and if you can get some of those out without destroying them, I would not mind having as many as you can get.

The tailgunner seat in the rear has a cover for the footwell when it is stowed. There are about 8 pop-rivets holding it to the piano style hinge. A drill will be necessary to remove the pop-rivets. The latch is on the rear edge of the cover. The "red" I prefer is on 91-93 cars. The 94 and later cars are a darker red, and the covers are plastic instead of metal.

If any of the wagons have a good antenna mast, I would like them as well. They are a little difficult to remove, because you have to 2/3 unbolt the wheelhouse and put a 2X4 between the body and wheelhouse. Then there is a 10 mm head screw in the door jam, and the bezel on the fender. If it is too much to ask, do not bother with them. Working antennas are in high demand, so keep that in mind as well.

I need an OFF button for the electronic climate control. Mine works but the face of the button is broken.

Tail lights are difficult to find. If the price is right, I might be interested in them. Grilles with good emblems are another hot item and OCC hood emblems. Grab any cargo bay light lenses. Front driver's side armrests are in demand in any color as long as the black base is not damaged (vinyl curling can be fixed, ripped can not). I know someone who is looking for the rear wiper motor, hose attachment point that goes through the body, and the trim over the rear of the headliner.

I have a list of parts I usually pull, but I do not expect anyone else to be as anal as I am. I would probably strip the car pretty well.

I can give you a FEDEX account to ship to me. If you need cardboard for boxing, I grab a large box from Rent a center or Arrons, and cut it to size.

See Kevin? Smile

Also I was referring to electronic Roadmaster CC units. Those are popular, I never even knew OCCs had electronic climate control. Cool.

Yes Ray my OCC has every available option except the tow pkg according to compnine but I
dont think that OCCs with climate control is that rare as my wagon has it too.
IMHO
