81 Olds 88 diesel


Wonder if it 33,000 or 133,000. Likely 33,000 or the diesel would be gone?

I'd say 33000 original judging by the floors and like you said the fact the diesel still runs.

 Even 33000 is a stretch for one of those to still be running...    Well, not totally true. It would still be running but it would have compression in the radiator!

Impressive comments on a gm product from you two experienced GM mechanics/gurus. Back in the day I had a young family and came real close to buying a Cutless wagon diesel. This motor was famous for all the wrong reasons.

These GM cars and wagons were sought after by hot Rodgers in California. They would put a hi perf small block or big block in them and they were still titled as an emissions compliant Diesel heh heh. I guess now the vin tags would be worth more than the Diesel motor!
