With Sprocket's recent acquisition, I had to make sure I kept my reputation intact. Not to be outdone... Icon_geek

Found this on epay this morning:
Not to be outdone... 39

We agreed on a price this afternoon. Now to figure out how to get it here from western TN. Not to be outdone... Icon_cheers

WOW!! one million, sixty seven thousand miles...... You must be SOOO proud Not to be outdone... Icon_razz

Definitely need a new brake pedal with THAT many miles Robert!

You know, I have to say I'm feeling a bit left out of this season's rush on TBI wagons. They're just so darn simple and reliable.

But I hate dragging something to Syracuse only to rust it out in 5 years. Syracuse is really tough on metal, as it goes through a large number of freeze-thaw cycles AND there's a ton of moisture always present. At least my gold woody '94 was edgy to begin with (Fred's words), although it's getting regular rustproofing and doing pretty well overall.

Glad it went to someone who will take of it.

Yup, that's the one!

And even with such miles, still looks great! Not to be outdone... Icon_razz

This does mean that one of the wagons must go. Unfortunately I can't keep adding to the fleet. I have someone interested in the 91 (Cruiser formerly known as The Pirate Ship) but if that falls through, you'll likely see an ad soon.

I can't wait to get it home! Never had a low miler like this. Not to be outdone... Icon_biggrin

Looks god, congrats on the purchase.

Wouldn't mind a TBI wagon myself as they are cheaper to maintain.

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:36 pm

Wow Mike, that car is gorgeous!

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Sun Oct 04, 2009 8:58 pm

Sheesh...I go outta town for a weekend and miss all the fun. Mike, you are crrrazy!! That wagon is gonna be so nice!! I can't wait to see it Wink

So plush...and so nice!! Cool

I love those OCC map pockets!!

Hi Mike
Congrats on the score! The LAB OCC I just picked up for $1900.00 has 68K on the clock! So there ARE still low mileage wagons available, as long as you, me and Sprocket dont buy'em all up! Very Happy

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Mon Oct 05, 2009 6:46 pm

Wow, that's quite a steal at that price! I didn't pay his asking price but not quite the bargain you got. Wink

I saw a 27K(?) one on epay recently out in Washington. That looked like a really nice one too, white with blue cloth if I recall.

Pat, Sproket, Larry...and you again. Where does it end?!?

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Tue Oct 06, 2009 1:14 pm

Dunno where it ends but I have a pretty good idea who the next person to get one will be. lol!

This one is my 4th OCC. All the "cool" wagon guys have at least 1 OCC in their fleet. Laughing

Once you figured out what cool is they go and change it on you....

Well...the wagon is no longer in Memphis. It is in SC Smile

Nasty wet day today...always parking far far away from the other cars whenever I stopped. The interior of this wagon is so mint. I felt like I was riding in a new car! Shocked

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:14 am

is that a Sungate windshield I spy? geek

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:10 am

wow, that water's really beading. Did you wash/wax it before you left memphis?

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Wed Oct 14, 2009 10:12 am

Yeah it is a Sungate Smile

But you already knew that! Lol

They has a coat of wax on it from the car lot. I could tell becaue 1/3 of the wax was still on the wagon when I picked it up. tongue

I met the detail guy (he drove the OCC around) and he looks to have had a rough life. So I think missing patches of dried wax is forgivable. Neutral

Oh, they did have another wagon. A '96 RMW. You can see it hiding in THIS pic. Non Limited with tan leather. It shows 38K on the clock, but man...that must have been a rough 38k. Interior was nasty. Outside is not bad though.

so you fill up on Chicken and Bourbon while on a road trip huh!

Love that color combo! Brings back very fond memories of my '92 L03 Caprice Wagon...

i dunno i just don't get the whole OCC thing,. they look ugly to me,..
so who'll be the first to own a OCC with a t56?? an LT1?? a BBO ??

Nick

Subject: Its in VA! Sat Oct 17, 2009 4:46 pm

Ok, so it made the morning's 450+ mile trip to Northern VA fine Smile

It is now officially off my hands. cheers

Lol

Mike is not here yet, so I am taking this time to do some last minute detail work.

I am terribly curious to see what you or Robert can do with my '94 RMW when you come up for WF10. Looks beautiful.

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Sun Oct 18, 2009 12:54 pm

Ok Chris, do you think Mike will actually keep it that clean?

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Mon Oct 19, 2009 3:22 pm

Funny to see this post, because I was looking at an Olds the other day, but it was rusted beyond repair.

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Mon Oct 19, 2009 4:58 pm

Pat, it will stay almost as clean. Smile

Subject: Re: Not to be outdone... Tue Oct 20, 2009 12:22 pm

So True Mike, but they wanted way to much.

I want another project, so my better half can drive a wagon to the fest next year. I guess I should start selling off my other projects first.

Nice find. I guess this one isn't the new "Fram Use" vehicle? Very Happy

Thanks! Stock she shall stay too, I don't even think I'll tint this one.

Hoping to get to a few issues taken care of today.

Posts : 141 Join date : 2009-08-29 Location : Cincinnati

Your right, even tint would take away from this stock reference car. I saw it for sale and was hoping someone from the gang would get it and give it a good home. Very happy for ya!
