Description

1980 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagon

5.7L Diesel V8 | Silver-Blue | Di-Noc Woodgrain | One Owner Since New | NM Title, No Lien

This 1980 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is a full-size, one-owner-since-new B-platform station wagon finished in silver-blue with Di-Noc simulated woodgrain lower paneling. The 1980 model year brought a revised aerodynamic front fascia with quad headlamps mounted closer to the bumper and wraparound front marker lights — changes shared across all B-body GM wagons that year.

Power comes from the GM LF9 5.7-liter (350 CID) diesel V8, rated at 105 horsepower and 205 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. This engine was one of GM's passenger diesel offerings of the era and is of notable collector and historical interest. Prospective buyers should verify whether the original LF9 diesel remains installed, as engine replacement was a common modification during and after this period.

The interior is blue throughout: quilted cloth front bucket seats with a center armrest, blue vinyl rear bench, and full blue carpeting into the cargo area. The woodgrain dashboard features an Oldsmobile Tempmatic automatic climate control system, analog clock, and AM/FM stereo with cassette. A folding third-row seat and roof rack are present. Chrome turbine-style wheels are fitted with whitewall tires.

The vehicle currently shows 92,892 miles. The engine starts and idles. The vehicle leaks fluids and is sold strictly as-is. This is a project, restoration, or parts vehicle priced accordingly.
