Scamd
People aren't trying to sell cars, the are cross listing to get your personal information. I'm not saying at one point it wasn't a legit ad, but the relist or cross listing. I found a friend of mine in new york who was selling his car posted on a car clearing house website for 1/2: what he was asking. I filled contact info to owner link with ba back up email account I use. Not only didn't it go to him it went overseas. The guy that emailed me back had no clue about cars but wanted all my information bad. After letting him fish a while about 10 minutes....I put him on hold and went about my daily chores.

Either he doesn't want to throw gravel that got kinda stuck from sitting on it, or his old lady doesn't want divots from it sitting in the yard....or it doesn't actually run and you have to push it to move it.

When I was looking last year, I wrote this car off as a scammer the first time it was listed. Couldn't get any of my requested pics and he was trying to tell me it was a W32 car based on his evaluation of the cowl trim tag. Likely this car has never been for sale by the rightful owner.

I was not confident enough to pursue it further base on my communications with the seller. You cannot tell a W32 car based on information on the trim tag. In one of my first emails, I asked if he had possession of the car, he said he did but could not seem to provide additional pictures. That is a red flag for me.

Sorry in advance, but just to confirm? I own a 70-442 vert w/4 speed. Has A/C, power steering and power disc brakes. I have the broadcast card and all options on the car are original to the car. The build date in 2nd week of Oct 1969. Has a SF 3:23 rearend. Does everyone agree these were all available options in late 1969? I hope so, because I have seen more than a few 442's equipped like my car and this dates back from 40 yrs ago when I saw those cars firsthand, way before people began changing things around with these cars (a.k.a once the values began to grow).

As I later showed in that thread, in Aug 1969, Olds originally said it was N/A, but by Sept 1969, the 3.23 axle and C60 are shown available with M21.

As an update - I ended up purchasing this car back in March 2021. Plan is to put a W25 hood and spoiler on it..... Just kidding Joe!
It's pretty much an original clean SO-CAL car with numbers matching engine/trans,
It was a owned by original owner until 2018 and then has been sold two more times with me being the 4th owner.
Interestingly the original owner is is less then 2 miles away from my house. One day I may take a ride over and visit.
My only complaint so far is to the tooth.
Everyone always asks for pics so here are a some unique ones.
Soft Trim card
Looks like factory couldn't get upper rear seat bolt to line up.
Carpet tag
And no - unfortunately the build sheet was not under the rear seat!
