Cruise control

Found a complete set-up and installed..Nice!


I am looking for a cruise control set-up for my 1973 98 Regency, it would have to be from a 1971 to 1976 Olds 88 or 98. Whole set up or pieces, looking for stuff in very good condition.

Thanks Greg

Here's one on ebay that's apparently been for sale for a while. Nice NOS kit pointed out to me when I thought I might put one in my '73 Custom Cruiser. The only problem is the guy wants Fort Knox for it, and I don't have quite that much to spend.

Before you click on the link below, make sure you're sitting down.

The only good thing is his current price is about $400 less than what it was a few months ago.

Actually that's a heck of a good price! Most OEM NOS CC units go for over 1K.

If you search on that ebay seller's username, you find that he has been trying to sell that kit for months, and his price was initially over $1100. It seems the market is telling him something.

Which is right around the price I paid for my 1972 NOS CC. I agree the market is telling him no one is interested, or the right buyer hasn't been watching eBay.

I have the servo unit of you choose to build your system piece by piece.
It is a very good original that I had restored to like-new condition. Looks like the one in the fleabay link above.

Ya its a bit much for me too, not sure it could fit all the cars listed unless it was a universal set up

Greg, here is the servo - I posted it a while ago but kinda forgot about it.

Unfortunately, I do not have the bracket, or any other parts of the system.
It does come with a connecting rod, but not sure if it is for your application though.
It has been stored inside the house, so it is still as nice as it looks in the pictures.
Cruise parts are hard to find so be patient in the quest for parts. The servos are the hardest to find since the rubber is often gone and they have not been reproduced.
Best of luck in the hunt!
