My 1991 OCC

SOLD TO SPROCKET

After a lot of thought, I am putting my OCC up for sale.  It will come with the stock Olds Aluminum wheels (not the Eagle wheels currently on it)
1991  305TBI Towpack with working Posi.
230,000 miles and Trans was rebuilt at 190k.  Wagon can be driven anywhere and would make a great daily/project wagon for someone.  It does have remote start that works great.  All window rollers have been replaced too. 
Asking $1,000
 
What I’ve done to the wagon since I bought it in Oct 2009
·         New Radiator, Upper and Lower Rad Hoses and 160 T-stat
·         New Mini ‘Vette Starter
·         New AC Delco Air Conditioning Compressor (ice cold air J ) 
·         New high output coil
·         New Cap/rotor , plugs and wires
·         New slotted rotors with Hawk pads and all new front wheel bearings (both sides)
·         New front calipers and brake hoses (both sides)
·         New rear wheel cylinders (both sides)
·         Replaced pass rear axle with GM unit and new outer wheel bearings
·         New GM Yoke Kit (tripe seal design)
·         New Fuel Pump
·         New belt and tensioner
·         Grey Cloth Bonneville Seats and Bravada Console/shifter with newish carpet
·         20% Tint

What could be fixed
·         Rear driver’s side exhaust manifold bolt has broken, has a slight leak when starting cold (does go away once warm) 
·         Minor oil leak (I think it could be the oil sensor…but I never have to add oil between changes..just enough to make a couple drops on the ground after a trip)
·         Power locks are not working  (remote start works fine)
·         Driver’s window works, but needs help on humid days.  I can show you the trick in person. 
·         Fuel sending unit has been acting up lately, so gauge can’t be trusted.  Fuel pump is fine.
·         Tailgate lock is stiff and hard to open with the key.  Electric popper works fine and that’s how I usually open the glass anyhow. 
·         Has some little rust spots starting on the roof and right above the cladding on the passenger door.   All the other usual areas are fine (will take lots of pics)  This is a solid wagon by most people’s standards.  Was a NC wagon for most of its life but did spend a couple winters in the North.   Oh, and the annoying driver rear quarter dent.  LOL!
 

I have tons of pictures on my Photobucket Album (will link it shortly)  I can also take pictures or video of anything by request.   I know a lot of you have seen it in person, so hopefully one of you will give this a good home.

One more quick thing...I forgot to mention the front steering pieces are all new ( last summer ) bjoints are not, one has been replaced in the past and the others are still good. Also has newish shocks all around as well.

I do have a folder of all previous work done to the wagon by 1st and 2ond owners too.

Also has a SS front swaybar installed with new links.

Wow, sorry to see you selling that Chris. I have seen the quality work he has done on this car, I really like the front and back bonny seats.

If this car is still available at the end of the day, I will be shocked.

Good luck.

Tom

Oh man....oh man! I want it.

I just passed it around to a bunch of friends. Would love to see this car come south!

I'm talking to my brother-in-law in Dallas about it right now. He's ready to dump his worn out Expedition and likes my Roady a lot. Got to "sell" the wagon idea to my sister-in-law.

Stay tuned!

Hey Chris, you pretty sure that thing would make it from NC to Texas?? Does the cruise control still work??

WHOA.

Chris, let's talk. Seriously.

Lol! I will miss it, but with buying the house...wanting to finish Jade and wanting a garage...I have to make some choices. Its a good wagon Mike...will get you to TX easily. Cruise works fine

Roo, come get it! Ill bring it to Savannah if you want to get it there.

Pics...( i hope this works..dang phone )

Dad wants it.

This may have to occur.

I just called you and left you a message. Strong interested.

Hahahaha...knew this would not last long! If you closer guys nab it, go for it. My sister-in-law has the same opinions about wagons my wife does.

Just make sure it goes to a good home!

-Mike

Good Luck Chris!

Guys - I helped Chris with the interior mods and a few other things on this car & I can say it's just an honest driver. Every one already knows, but you can't beat a TBI car for reliability, ease of repairs, and cheap parts! I just bought a 95 C2500 as a work truck for that reason. Chris keeps his cars super clean & well maintained. You won't be disappointed.

Chris,say it isnt so!
You will regret this Chris and I mean really REALLY regret this!

Thats a hell of a deal since we know how much a tank of gas cost!Just teasing you Chris,are you

Jim

Now that I re-read that, I think he means he's gonna feed you taco bell so you make your own gas. "tank" meaning your digestive system! heh

Hard to find an LT1 Oldsmobile. I still think the Olds are the smoothest looking of all these cars.

Knew it would go fast!

Dam it I missed this. Suck suck suck! Congrats Sprocket.

Congrats John, stop by on your way through.

Robert do you not think like me that sprocket could drop off a hood on his way through?

That's what I was thinking IF he drives north, hard to get the timing right if he is flying....

From our conversation today, it appears he is flying.

get chris and his wife to drive it down to daytona,.

Nick

Chris... ^^^ this man knows what's up.

ticket booked already, the stars aligned on this one, with available days off, etc.

John,whats the grand wagon total counting this OCC?Glad its staying in the family too.
Jim

For the moment 5 again, but it'll be short lived. Grimace will be leaving the marina, Possible deal in the works with a forum member, other wise offered to you guys, ISSF, and CL in that order. Stay tuned.

does the custom hood ornament go with grimace?

I hope so. lol

Picked Sprocket up this afternoon...he has the wagon!

SURE, I get lunch at Hardees, and John gets a cello lesson.

Maybe I should have bought a wagon....

lol! He also got a tank of gas, Meatloaf Sandwich..couple of brews and pecan pie.

He did say you'd better have his German Coffee tomorrow....

German coffee was excellent! Ride home was a blast, I bonded with the car, 706 miles in 11.5
61 mph avg including about 1.5 hours not driving....pics forthcoming

I can't wait for my fill of that German coffee now.

John ,did you bother checking your mileage at those speeds?

Looks like a good trip and glad that car is not headed for a life of cold and salt!

I was looking in my funds. Love that car. Take care of it!
