So, we have decided to sell our 1992 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Wagon. It is one of our weekend cruisers, and we mainly use it just for fun. We take it to car shows and I often take her to work on nice days. It's like driving a living room!

It currently has 105k on the body. Oldsmobile made a total of 4347 of these beasts, and this is one of the few with the 5.7L Chevy 350 small block and the 323 posi-traction rear end combo. (That's why I bought it to begin with). It has the vista roof with the original sun shades that are in great shape. It also has the original rear cargo cover and flip up 3rd row seat that's in great shape.

Like most dark colored GM vehicles, the clear coat was peeling so it was just repainted. Every part of the exterior was removed (door handles, rails, bumpers, grill, all rubber, EVERYTHING) and the vehicle was professionally painted at a body shop. This was NOT a cheap MAACO spray and go. It was professionally sprayed with PPG paint. The original color was used, but some flake was added to make her stand out from the crowd a bit. It really looks wonderful and shines in the sun!

Inside is a 9 out of 10. Seats have no rips, dash is perfect, carpet has no holes and the door panels do not have cracks. All the lights work, even the compass in the rearview mirror works. It has load leveling shocks in the rear with an air compressor that work perfectly- It would break my heart, but you could easily turn it into a 23MPG work vehicle. It will fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood, and with the rear airbags, you could tow a hefty trailer if you wanted to add a hitch.

The following work has been done within the last 6 months or so:

New Paint
All new oversized tires (lifetime warranty)
New rims from a MO troop car (were refurbished and are perfect)
Replaced front and rear brakes
New radiator, water pump and all new hoses
New Intake gaskets
New plugs and wires
All power windows were fixed (common issue)
Underside was scrubbed, power washed and coated with "Zero Rust" paint
New Walker exhaust
New AC Delco oxygen sensor
New battery

This car is super reliable. She starts the first time, every time. Runs great, shifts perfectly and tracks down the road nice and true. You can drive it absolutely anywhere. I do- Brought it up here from St. Louis 6 months ago, and have since driven all over the Valley, down to Denver and the Springs and even took it down to Albuquerque loaded with family and luggage. We still average over 23MPG!!!

We have multiple vehicles and only two drivers. We don't have a garage at our new house, and I can't bear to let it sit outside subjecting the new paint to the elements that I have heard so much about out here, so it's time to let her go. Feel free to come and take a look. You won't be disappointed. She's located in Alamosa, but I can meet you elsewhere if necessary.

I will consider trades as well as offers, but please be realistic. There is more into the car than my asking price, and this is a great start to a hotrod, family cruiser or low rider. As far as trades go, I could use a reliable truck, a flat bed car trailer or a gas sipper for my little sister when she moves out for college. Ultimately I love cars, so I will entertain all trade offers. I will trade with cash on either end, or straight across if it makes sense. Of course, cash would be preferred. $3900 OBO/Trade

I want to buy this car.

Yeah, and fairly rare too 92 being the last year of the Olds Full-size wagon and the only year of the two you could get a 350 and that was optional over the 305. Tow pack cars got heavier duty cooling, suspension, 3.23's over 3.08s and a posi rear. 92 had the Caprice style side glass over the Buick style that the 91's had. Anyhow the Olds models are considered the most desirable of the TBI cars and the 92 Olds are even more desirable than the 91s

Check again. I had wrong link initially.

I got it now. The funny part about that ad is he said he's asking 3500 "cuz of the body". Like he'd ask more if the body wasn't a pile of crap :lol:

Been driving past this car at a dinky little car lot in VA. Probably shouldn't have finally stopped for a look, but I did. It looks to be all original and unrestored, other than one very old repaint. Despite having t-tops, the interior is bone dry and still has a headliner. Extremely solid on the underside too. Hopefully they want too much for it and I can just let it go. I'll find out in the A.M.
