Oldsmobile Ciera 1985 Description

1985 Olds Cutlass Ciera Diesel LS. This is Oldsmobile's classic FWD Diesel Sedan on the A-body. The 85 models have the improved LT7 Transverse Diesel engine. This is a mechanically sound car in need of restoration (paint, interior work, and minor maintenance.). The seats and carpet are sound but soiled and faded. Oneend of the rear seat has a gouging mark on it. Needs headliner and dash fitment repair. Exterior has surface rust on the top, hood and window surround on the doors. The trunk lid is beginning to rust through in the usual place and should be replaced. Right front fender has some rust at the joint with the header panel, and a pencil sized place where it rusted through from the top (due to some sort of damage?), but the fender is otherwise sound. All the emblems are with the car, except for the front grille emblem. The door molding is present to complete one side, but missing for the other. Radio Cassette deck had been removed.

This classic Ciera on the A-body had a long and profitable run at GM. Here is a promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzy-dKfUpO4

I have a restored 1984 model that is a pleasure to drive and gets 32 MPG highway.
