| Hello everyone, just bought a 91 OCC a couple weeks ago. Very clean car. Odometer reads 78k, but it doesnt work. So true mileage is unknown. Runs real good. The car does have a few problems that need addressed, but nothing major. My future plans are to swap in a 350, some different wheels, and maybe repaint it black. Me and my dad just finished completely redoing an 86 Monte Carlo ss, from the ground up. Im glad to start working on something else.
Definitely glad to have found this forum and i'm sure i'll be posting here often.
Pics will be up soon | |

| Good deal, another OCC found it's way to the forum. Welcome and hope you stick around. Pics when you can, and also of the Monte please. My other project is an '88 Cutlass, and I love G-bodies!

| Me and my dad both are big fans of G-bodies too. Hopefully our next project will be a Grand National clone. I wont be attending wagonfest, as much as i'd love to, I just cant. Here's a quick pic I just took, I'll get a few more some other time. | |

| out of curiosity what are the last five digits of your VIN? I've owned 3 91 OCCs. Two were Maple Red like yours and both built in 1990! I had 00139 and 00868. two others on the fourm had cars between my two and all four were maple red, lol.
00139 is still on the fourm under Stingroo family's care. | |

| 01944 is the last 5.
From what I was told, the car was bought new locally by a couple, and owned by them until last year when the husband died. The car was too big for just the woman, so she sold it to the guy that I bought it from. The car's got a new battery, alternator, starter, belt, and good tires. Interior is great, exterior has been repainted, and looks pretty good too. Only real issues are the a/c has a freon leak, the rear suspension needs some attention, valve cover gaskets need replaced, and its got an exhaust leak at/near the manifolds. Not too bad for $1,000. All i've done so far is tint the windows, changed the oil, and replaced the front shocks. | |

| Besides the missing sail panel it looks great and for a grand,you stole it.Take good care of it and it will always take care of you.After some of the accidents Ive seen involving these wagons I always feel safer driving mine compared to some of the gokarts running around me! |
