WTB: 1980-90 Custom Cruiser Vent Shades

I'm looking for a set of vent shades for a 1980s boxy full size wagon. A lot of places say the B Body sedan ones fit but I already know for a fact that is wrong. Does anyone have a set they would be willing to sell with all the hardware? Thanks!

Let me look at the ones on my 83. Car's headed for the salvage yard but if anyone can use smalls off it I'll work with them.

I think a good polish will make them look good. Might have to think how to get the retainer clips out!🙃





If you're interested give me your zipcode so I can get some idea on shipping, which I daresay will be as much or more as I'd ask for the vent shades and clips.

Keep the luggage rack, I bet someone would buy it even if it wasn't original for their wagon, those are getting more scarce.

Let me get all these healthcare appointments and the holiday out of the way and I'll give you a price.

If the old gray wagon can live on thru another Oldsmobile I'm happy.

I messaged you about any other good parts that wagon may still have.

Smparr, I'll try to have you a price with shipping by Friday 7/7.

DudeAbides, anything in particular you're looking for? My PMs don't work the best sometimes.

I'd as soon not get into shipping heavy items.

Gray Ghost has a good 1974 350. Lot of miles but still starts and runs smooth and quiet, and before the transmission and rear end failed it would use about 1/2qt of oil between 3000 mile oil changes. Anyone wanted that would have to take the whole car, no way I can pull and ship an engine these days!👴

Lower door and fender trim, wheel well trim, rear bumper possibly other stuff. I can send you my email if that's easier to send pictures.

I ask y'all to bear with me. My home AC has failed and been waiting 4 days so far on the repair part. So I'm not getting much done in 90 degree heat.

Got them off and was able to save all 14 clips. 4 on each front, 3 on each rear.

How does $45.00 shipped sound? $22.45 of that is USPS Priority shipping. I'm not set up for any electronic payment methods, PM me and we'll discuss.

Just curious what condition your window guide channels are? Those have to be pried out of the window frames and down to install the vent shades and clips.

I am still very interested if you get a chance in that lower body trim and wheel well trim if in trim is in decent shape. Especially the rear pieces since they're wagon specific.
No rush though.

Can that wait for cooler weather? 90s and humid here and that house AC is still waiting on parts. It was rough on me pulling those vent shades Wednesday.

Well I am at your mercy regardless. Maybe you can snap some pictures of all the lower trim so I can see if it's decent?

I also second pulling that roof rack and slats. Somebody out there will definitely need them as these age out.

I have a 1988 custom cruiser and I need the lock and trim stuff for the storage compartment, the filler in front of the rear bumper that you see when you open the tailgate, and possible a power antennae. I can also use a power lock switch for the drivers door and a hood ornament.
