She is a 1989 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser with 186,000 miles. Drivetrain is all original as so is the interior. My grandpa originally owned her and then me! The seats are the houndstooth cloth like the old 67-69 Camaro's. I put in a Pioneer Head unit, 2 8inch subs in back seat, 1 12 inch Sony explode sub in the way back with a 300 watt amp.

The only problems I have had with her since new were with the alternator, battery, tires, brakes, exhaust, and the number one cylinder the pushrod blew through one of the rocker arms, but I replaced the rocker arm and the motor still runs smooth as a baby's ass! I took the AC and smog pump stuff all out and it looks better, alot easier to work on, and gained about 10 or 15 horsepower. Also, I advanced the timing which gave me about 5 more horsepower. She doesn't sound like much, but believe me she goes up hills in overdrive and holds the speed with no problem.

Here are some pics of the the motor
