Looking good!

I've never been to the Bastrop show, but that's a bit of a drive. I'm just north of Round Rock. We have a good meet every Saturday night up in Cedar Park at the corner of 183 and 1431.

Will try to post some pics next time I go.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I really like the car!

Even if you don't take your car, you should go. There is also an auto museum in Bastrop that you should see. It's amazing. It's in't that far with the new toll roads you can get there in an hour.

In Rosanky, yes it's AWESOME. He's got a Tucker in there. They have a good swap meet down there twice a year as well.

Hi and welcome from a 88 CSC owner. Looks like mine except I do not have the t tops. I bought mine new and still have the radio and I did put a spoiler from a 1984 Hurst. Hope you enjoy your stay on this site as I have. I have put a K&N air filter in and changed the computer chip but it did not help the performance at all.

Hey awesome, a twin! Very sharp! Is yours blue inside too?

I spent about two hours the other night replacing the pin strips on mine. Such fun!

Love these cars!

No it is red 307 is still a dog but gas mileage is in the mid 20s The gear is a 2.56

Very cool! I had an 89 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon that was white over the dark red. Really liked those colors together.

Great mileage on yours. That's the same axle ratio I have, but my car is running rich right now. It sat up a while, I'm trying to drive it and blow it all out.

I like the chrome trim along the bottom of yours, that's sharp! Mine doesn't have that. Was that a decor package or something?

Here's a pic of my white-over-red Olds wagon. I miss it!

I bet that yours did at one time have the chrome at the bottom of the doors. Do you have the sticker on the inside of the trunk that gives you the RPOs?

 

[81X11]

Yep the sticker is still there. Thec car does have one thin chrome trim piece under the doors along the lower edge there. I can't see any signs that there was ever anything else though.

Here's an older pic the previous owner gave me of the car before the spolier was mounted. You can see the very front edge of the door has rust coming up. It's the only rust on the entire car. The underside is clean. Weird how these have door issues...

I can hardly see that rust. When I was putting the spoiler on I was trying to make sure not to damage the sticker on my trunk. It shows some of the RPOs that are on the car. That wagon really looks good. I had a 1980 Delta 88 Holiday Coupe that had the console and bucket seats, and I do miss that car. Very few were made and was always getting nice comments about it.
