I didn't buy this, but had it show up at work today. The operations manager at our sister store in Red Deer had this sitting at his parents house and decided to send it my way. I would be way more stoked if this was a Buick service manual but yeah im not going to complain and it may help out a few other members.
If anyone wants anything looked up let me know. A/G/B/F Body and even some J and X body info.

Thanks to ssn696 for this in a round-about way. His post about his steering wheel woes got me looking into trying to help him out. Stumbled across this and it was priced right so...
Not in hand yet, but just purchased an NOS 85-87 Dark Blue sport wheel horn pad. Got a feeling in a year or two, the sport wheel that's in the car is fine, but I think the foam underneath is starting to get a bit compressed. It still looks perfect, but eventually I'll restore it and I already have the NOS black trim ring and center horn rocket for it. So it will look brandy new when the time comes. I have an NOS burgundy one already, but I was searching for a blue one.

I just noticed the horn symbol, is that something they started to put on the pads starting in 1985 and on. As many of them I worked on back then I never noticed it not that I was looking for it.
at the Pate swap meet. scored a Snap-On coolant pressure testing tool, but what I really got was a set of Edelbrock valve covers (#4244) for $75. not a killer deal but since they were never installed, not bad....
Rear body mount kit. cage nuts, drivers side rear fender well and rivers side trunk extension.
Between that, the floor pans and the rear quarter, should be a good percent of the major sheet metal I need to repair

It may very well be. 1984 had the 2nd design NP5 hub with its own one-year-only part numbers, but I chalked that up to the colors that weren't like the 85-88 colors. My 84 has the 1st design horn cap so it's small and round anyway.
Well I've been back to Olds parts .com and bought a bunch of items including seats foam, carpet and a bunch of odds and ends, starting to collect a inventory for when a strip down the 87 442 and do a frame off this fall.
