In answer too Oldsfan & Specman. :

Thanks for the words guys !... And although im not a stubern guy.... , i still keep on searching for more info on this car. Didnt find the time yet too show my buildsheet and fendertags etc, but that, and offcourse ( specman) some better pics of the car etc.

In answer too some remarks:

Ths muscle car era was VERY alive in 1971 , oke maybe not hugely by olds , but see the Hemicuda's , challengers , Camaros etc. Also around 70/71
there were MANY dealers / shops who sold there own special cars..
also in SMALL amounts... Take Mr.Norm ( mopar ) who up untill 73 made
special cars ( demons and darts mostly) , Yenko ( also small numbers) ,
etc etc. SO ! its 100% not unthinkable that maybe there was a olds dealer
who did this too! ( if it was a succes i dont know). But i have all the first owner papers & buildsheet and maybe via that way i can find out more too.
I remember something about a handling package on the sheet , but not sure.


Engine / gearbox/ drivetrain etc etc ALL is matching numbers, and i dont think
touched or tuned sinds its origin ( 100000 original mile car...). And although some repaint work was done here and there, mostly it still has it original paint
and all the factory decalls (warning stuff etc) is still in place. The car doesnt
even have 1 serious rustsport or bubble !...


BUT ! maybe its wishfull thinking, i dont know... But its in my opinion too much work done for a private guy ( easpecialy with this model...its not a special 'stang etc..) Although the car handles fantasticly and brakes superb.
I drive and have many other muscles (mopar mostly: cudas, RR,s, etc), i must say that this car in power and steering is absolutly fast !, and handles
suberp! for sucha " hughe" car. I kill many camaro's ( and a mopar or two.... etcwith it !.

Although the car is going to be for sale one of these days, i still would like
too find out the story behind this "one of a kind" Olds...

Ill keep searching , and some more data & pics will follow here !

THANKS !:
