Also, it's listed wrong...that's a '75, not a '74. It looks like it has potential. I hope it goes to a good home and doesn't end up scrapped!

Just remember that it is a convertible and if the floors are good, $1400 is not a bad price. 'Course being a Midwest car odds are there's rust everywhere that isn't showing. No title is the deal-breaker.
If it turns out to have a Pontiac 400 2-barrel engine in it, it's a fairly rare one. Think there were 212 of those produced, and not completely sure of the story behind Olds using those in B/C cars in 75.

I would think a car from Texas is mostly rust-free vs one from Chicago. A lot of people selling older car in a rust-free area jack up the price, regardless of the condition or completeness of the car sometimes.

Bit of a long shot. That thread was from last year. All the CL ads in it are long gone, and Eric sold that 71 Delta a while back.
May I suggest you start a thread in the Parts wanted section? Probably get more hits and/or replies. Good luck.
