I can't say I've read someone on an olds site wanting partial trades for a Lambo haha. Cool car, quality is awesome, parts look top notch, and I would definitely be proud driving it. Unfortunately, I think this is going to get one of those, "You aren't going to get near what you put into it" categories for a car. Good luck on the trade though!

lmao... guys with all due respect I'm not looking to get top dollar or what I have into it back but the car is top notch I'm open to offers no I won't let it go for low ball prices but a fair price is a fair price anyone serious can contact me and we can negotiate a price if someone is seriously interested I'm sure they will get a hold of me. this is a conversation piece only to those who don't have the money to afford this badass car and those who can afford this car don't need a price tag to know wether or not they can afford it
cheers : )

Yeah - beautiful car! And my tastes generally run far closer to stock.
I always wonder about highly customized cars. Isn't there often the issue that the customizer builds to suit his particular taste? And then, any one else with the $$$ who desires a custom car, wants it to suit HIS particular tastes?
I mean - I'd be proud to drive the OPs vehicle, but not so proud that I'd be able to pony up more than a portion of what he well thinks this beauty is worth.
Good luck on the sale, man. And thanks for showing all those customizers out there how to do it right!

IMHO You would probably do better to sell this at Barrett Jackson in January if you want to come close to recovering your investment. Modified cars like yours have done very well out there the last three years. I could see you making money on the car in that setting. BTW Awesome car.

I'd like to see how the coolant gets from the radiator to the water pump- did it get a '64 water pump with LH inlet, or did you cross the lower hose over to the other side like the top? That seems like a really bad plan to me. Leaving off the RH inner fender liner also, and the heater/ ac components. A lot of $ and attention poorly spent, I say.
But, to each his own; there's an a$$ for every seat, right?

Yeah, that was my point when you get a response like..
"this is a conversation piece only to those who don't have the money to afford this badass car and those who can afford this car don't need a price tag to know wether or not they can afford it"
So if you need a ballpark price, don't bother..... you must not have enough badass money.
Most people I know with money are pretty frugal and modest. All purchases are well thought out on several levels.
I think he's looking the guys at BJ with the yellow suits, drinking martinis and trying to impress their 3rd wife on tv....... just my .02
Beautiful car for sure. I love the Bugatti as well, but price is relative, which is why I asked the original question.

Diego that's like saying when I hear Diego I think of a Mexican landscaper no disrespect I like your name lol. the car is one of a kind, am I lying?? stop trying to read between the lines. if my ego was attached to the car I'd be asking 100k but I'm a reasonable guy this car is being sold for a great price everyone who called me has agreed. I just refuse to take anyone serious who can't pick up a phone and call me

not at all. I have been downgrading my collection I sold my 1969 rs/ss l78 camaro also simply because i don't have time for all my cars with a 7 days a week work schedule also because like my ad says I want a gallardo. I will probably end up keeping 1 or 2 classics that's it

Nice looking car. Just my opinion though, many people feel when you want offers, and don't give an idea of what price you want, you get a lot of people who just walk away, figuring you want too much.

You made the snide comments......and that said a lot.
It's a very nice car, but there's a lot of nice cars out there. The market determines value. Looks like ebay bid up to 33k.
Good luck with the sale..

Just let the poor guy try to sell his car!!!! If he doesn't want to list a price, then so be it, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Its obvious the guy isn't trying to rip people off, so move on. . .
As Oldsmobile owners isn't it in all our best interests for they guy to sell the car for as much as possible?? Kind of like your neighbor trying to sell their house??
Instead, some of you just get on his thread and do nothing but harrass the guy and try to find every f'ing little negative detail you can. Ridiculous.
Makes me think twice about ever trying to sell a car on this site.
