Just had to gloat.

I've been doing some work with the local car auction.

A couple of weeks ago I transported a 1992 Lumina from an AT&T office to the auction for fleet sale.

This old girl had 162,000 miles, looked like it hadn't been run in 6 months or so, dirty, dusty, rusty pulleys and brake rotors, dead battery, etc. But with a jump, she fired up and ran like a champ, no weird noises or smoke, even after that long sleep.

As I drove it, I realized that it drove solid as a rock, you could tell it had been well maintained by the book. New struts, exhaust, etc. No leaks, shifts great, strong as any 3.1 I've driven, etc. I began to get interested.

So I bid $300 for it...and got it!

Only bad thing is the peeling dash cap..other than that, it's in excellent shape in and out. The auction even peeled all the AT&T decals and buffed it out, looks great!

Now I gotta figure out what to do with it. Tires and wheels first, those hubcaps and pizza cutters gotta go....

not sure if it was this forum or another, but there is a thread about the peeling dash issue. you can remove all the nylon from the dash by taking out the 5 bolts holding it down. clean off the plastic dash then purchase a cloth cover available from coverking.com ($35). I have done this and love how it turned out. click the link below in my signature and you can see the before and after pix of this project I have hosted on photobucket...
did you buy the 3.4 or the 3.1?
