I bought my 64 Olds from a guy living in Kansas. Oldsguy saw the ad for it in a thrifty nickle. It had a small black and white photo. At first I was reluctant to look at it because it said 4 door. Oldsguy assured me I would like it because it was a hardtop.
We went to Kansas to look at the car and found that it had been sitting in a field and used to haul brush around this guy's property. We fired it up and found out it had a lurching and bad idle. We drove it on the highway anyways and the right rear tire blew out once I hit about 50 miles per hour. Even though I had a couple bad experiences with it when test driving I offered him $1200 cash and asked him to put two new tires on it and he accepted. Once I got it home I cleaned it up and found about 4 or 5 dead mice in it under the dash.
