| I'm happy gang! See there are other crazy people in the world! This man showed with a twin of my car, just a year older (91)....with Impala SS wheels, huge Impala SS suspension, 3-inch exhaust that sounds so good it'd make you cry, and a 450hp Corvette LS1 engine under the hood! Wow! I got to drive it and it MAN IT RUNS! And get this, he currently owns FOUR other Custom Cruisers! Mine will make No. 5! He's a member of the Texas Oldsmobile Club, and LOVES these wagons. I'm serious, I could not be happier about where it's going, and I made a new friend and wagon-nut contact to boot! Check out the pics I just took in my work parking lot. We got lots of looks from the folks getting back from lunch! Now to pick up my new-to-me Roadmaster tomorrow! -Mike | |

| That LS1 OCC flat FLEW! It was SO fun to drive, and the exhaust sound was fantastic. BUT it was crying for a 6-spd swap. I'd do that fast!
I told the buyer about this and the Longroof forum. Hope he joins up. I'm going to his house tomorrow to see all the Custom Cruisers. Looking forward to it!
And yes, pretty amazing I've never met this guy before. He does not live far off or anything. Told him he needs to come out to the Cruise-Ins!

| That's awesome for you, dude! And yeah, I've seen that car before. I think it was on eBay for a bit. Maybe I saw it on CL or ISSF, too? | |

I has 3-inch single exhaust front-to-rear, and the lower right edge of the rear bumper is notched for the exhaust tip. Not sure if I liked that mod, but it sounded amazing. | |

I thought thats what it might have . I could not remember what it had from the issf thread that was posted about it .
