Has the gauge package .. but I'm not a fan of the seat fabric. Clean, tho. Damn that's in great shape.

Hook them up with a chain and whoever wins the tug of war that's the one to keep.

Nearly 200,000 miles and asking $4K? Sorry, that's quite a bit above market. That car will be for sale for a while at that price.

I was surprised on the mileage also. My sister has about 300,000 on her Yukon. Good to see some durability to this different generation Olds engine too.

I was thinking the same thing but he does say to make him an offer at the bottom. I am not interested in buying but it is in great looking condition. If my wife would consider driving it as a DD I would be making an offer. Even at the asking price it would be way less than I have in the Acadia, lol. I could even sink that much more into it on new suspension, steering and engine and still be ahead of what she has now.

I know right? It looks untouched by time, however, i wonder if the same goes for the vac lines... With that many miles something has got to have been replaced under there at some point otherwise the vac lines would be darn near disintegrated. But then again maybe the owner was a smart cookie in comparison to the previous owner of mine..

I could do the hour round trip to get some pics, but that's only if someone here was truly interested in buying.

The Custom Cruiser was built through the 1992 model year. All were RWD. The 1990 cars were the last with an Oldsmobile engine, however.

The VIN verifies it as an 89... The 10th digit is"K" which equates to 1989...

Being sarcastic I know that they were all RWD I worked at an Olds dealer during that time.
