I created a new folder on my photobucket site and downloaded the handful of pictures I took just after unloading it from the trailer.

The hood and trunklid have been wet sanded and buffed, but the rest of the car needs the finish work from the paint job done. Today I washed the car as it had been sitting in a shed and had a lot of dust on it. The paint job isn't as nice as I'd hoped as I found some fish eye spots in it and a few scratches already. Six feet away it will look OK and I plan to use it as a daily driver so that will do for now. The car was Aqua/Aqua with a bench seat and column shift. (Sound familiar?) Power steering and Power drum brakes, no AC. It has a posi rear, the code shows 3.08 gears. both front and back glass are gone, as is the front bench seat. (you got 1967 buckets with headrests? Those are rare!) I'll probably go back to the bench seat as I have one in the 1967 Skylark I can recover, and back glass I can pull, probably buy new for the front as that's missing in the Skylark too. The floorpan in this car is very nice (the leaves didn't cost extra!). Not sure where it came from before here but there appears to be very little rust, even under the battery. It has a TH400 in it, but I don't know if that's factory or had been changed. The hood springs aren't installed and the corners of the hood have paint chips from lifting it up so no pictures of the engine yet. wj67442 also said he had some spare parts so I'll be talking to you guys as soon as I figure out just what I need. If you'd part with the black dash pad Ranzan that would help me along. I don't have much 1967 stuff, but lots of other Oldsmobile parts. If you guys would be open to trades let me know what your looking for. Otherwise I'll be getting my tax return soon, and I've been doing well on ebay selling Buick parts lately.

It's kind of funny. I'd see maybe one interesting Oldsmobile a year for sale in the past several years. Then this last year I've had interesting Oldsmobile and Buick cars and parts falling out of the sky! A car buddies wife asked how I kept finding stuff to buy, when I explained where I look for ads her answer was " Well, Quit Looking!" I just need 20 acres in the country and a barn, then I could start saving stuff for my retirement!
