Default Well, it was a hard decision.... With PICS (56k Go away)

.... but I picked my second car to buy for 800 bucks. It is 1988 Olds Cutlass Ciera XC Special Edition. It has 139k on it and is in excellent shape for its age. It just had a new engine put in due to the nylon timing gears stripping and somehow killing the engine. The engine is the 3.8 SFI with 150HP. Here are some pics of it. It is the gray one with the color matched rims.

Here is a link to a page with the pics.

Yup they did, up to 1988 as a option on the Cieras and Century. Celebrity and 6000 didnt have the 3.8 as a option.

Nope. That was a prototype. The 6000 STE AWD got the 3.1
