Olds wagon get either 307.
Buick, no big wagons after 1988.
Strange mix.
Must have been an early 89 combo, with 88 200 4r's.
Olds 237 hp engine might make a decent R/SA car, if you like the heavyweights.

I was surprised to see this one for sale, not many left. Not an Olds expert but the 240 HP rating scared me a bit. It does have a 200-4R.

The Hydramatic plant that built the 200-4R closed at the end of the 1988 model year . I knew they stock piled enough transmission so they could build the 1989 Pontiac Firebird with the 3.8 L Buick Turbo engine , but I am surprised to hear about the wagon . They must have also stock piled some for the Station Wagons . They were super low production volumes so I guess they built them along with all the service transmissions before they shuttered the plant .
