I have to take pics of this car.Its an 18 thousand miles black on black car,that has been inside a Museum for a long time.It could have been fitted with the engine oil cooler at a later time.But it sure looked factory.Isnt there some kind of option codes for this..?.

Oil cooler is standard on my 5.7 9C1 Police cars... nice big one in front of the A.C condenser. the 94-96 Impala's gm cheaped out and did the in radiator tank oil cooler. but the 9C1's still got the good external one..
