Darn!

I hate it when the dictionary goes and changes when I'm not looking!

Now I've got to go and look up the new meaning of "all original."

NICE CAR!

Just a tip to help you sell. There is a cable hanging down under the car that needs a little love.

Looks like a fish pooping.

Looks real nice!
Adding pics with the original wheels might help, too, as not everyone likes the 'rubber bands' - kinda opens the customer base!
Good Luck!!

FWIW - in 1971 it is simply Oldsmobile 442 (Oldsmobile is the make & 442 is the model) & welcome to Classic Oldsmobile, hope you plan to stick around after you sell your 442.

Nice looking car (wheels are an easy fix). Good luck on the sale.

Why does the paint on the hood look "spotty"?

When large wheels like this are added, are there usually suspension modifications too or do they just bolt right on? To change them back is it really just as simple as changing the wheels?

Looks really nice btw....got any pics of the engine? Is it a numbers matching block?
