the tailgate hinges (the part mounted on the body) make great bottle openers as well. :D

this is what I am doing right now. I have a 93 volvo 960 wagon. It holds just about as much as the cruiser, is really comfortable, gets 25mpg at 75mph, and it has a very solid I6 auto tranny combo. I've put 21,000 problem free miles on it in the last year, and hopefully in another year or so...

man, what a sweet project. I really wish I still had mine........one of these days I'll get another. Karl, have you become more familiar with the engine and it's mess of vacume hoses now that it's out of the vehicle?

I sold my 85 60 with 205k last June for $4,500. No rust, and it had a top end rebuild, new clutch, new carb, 2'' lift shackles with poly bushings, almost perfect paint, and almost perfect interior. The thing was sweet, and every day I regret that I sold it. Now I drive a 93 Volvo 960, and I like...

dude...if you need any help with them axles let me know. I'll be around this weekend.

As did I.......took maybe 5 minutes to get it all tight again

I'm looking for a right rear mudflap for a 60/62. If anyone is willing to sell the right rear or even both rear ones for a decent price, email me at: mr.m9@juno.com thanks! -ZAC

if you adjusted your idle at all, did you adjust the correct screw on the backside of the carb?? Or did you adjust the A/C idle up screw on the front, thinking it was the idle adjustment? I did exactly this when I first bought my cruiser, and it responded exactly as yours is doing......idle...

yeah man, last day tomorrow! I may just have to come by and enjoy a beer or 2...

haha, had a woman approach me yesterday saying that her parents wanted to buy one, and wanted to know how I liked mine. Told her I loved it, and showed her the inside. When I told her it was an '85, and had almost 203,000 miles on it she couldn't believe it. It made me laugh inside.

smoothy, you are the owner of the tan one with the brown pinstripes right?? is it still for sale by chance??

tom, you got that new tranny now right?? perhaps your kickdown cable etc. wasn't properly set when the rebuild was done?

I don't know if it's because I just washed and detailed it it, and got it looking really good....but this week I have been getting tons of comments on my cruiser. 3 today alone. How many comments do you guys get on yours on a weekly or daily basis??:)

I get between 10 and 12 driving around town, but I drive at most about 15 miles a week, so it's ok. On my last highway trip to Salt Lake I got about 16, and that was with ski's on top, gear in the back, cold temps, and using the 4hi on the icy parts. Best ever is between 17 and 18 when I drive...

I've had my speedo lights go off on me 2 or 3 times......all I did was hit the dash above it and they started working again.
