Exactly, just go buy yourself a 635 CSi that's nice and you're way ahead. You don't want a 633 anyway, harder to find parts. These cars have been waiting 25 years to become "collectible". Owners may have to face the facts that it's not going to happen. A 96 wagon being collectible? Well perhaps as a curiosity, but I can't see any "big money" down the road. The far sportier and more handsome 93-95 Impala SS is already falling flat, after struggling past $10K. The '96 Impala SS is still fairly strong at around $15K. These are prices for *very* nice low mileage cars BTW, with right colors and options. They'd (the wagons) make a great race car hauler, though.

As the previous owner of a Fiero, I always laugh when I see one advertised for sale with power steering listed as one of the options. The Fiero never came with power steering, and with the common WS6 option, or a GT, was a real handful to park in tight quarters.

....do people come up with their eBay Buy It Now prices? The seller would be fortunate to get 25% of his for this heap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1975-Oldsmobilie-88-Royal-4-door_W0QQitemZ3003265- 83933QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item45ecdbfe7d&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245- &_trkparms=65%3A-1%7C39%3A1 or, for $300 more, you can have a much nicer (albeit newer), RUNNING Olds tank: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-Oldsmobile-Ninety-Eight-98-Rare-Coupe-42k-mi- -1-own_W0QQitemZ280367043767QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item41472d94b- 7&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A317

Replying to: ghulet (Jul 08, 2009 1:36 pm) In comparison though, that '83 Ninety-Eight coupe is gorgeous! I wish the pictures weren't taken in the shade though, because it makes it harder to tell what color it is. It looks grayish at first glance, but I think it's one of those light greenish/bluish silver colors. GM had a few of them back then. One was just called "Silver-Green", while another was "light jadestone", and there was another, "light greyfern", which I think might be the color this one is.
