1970 Olds 98

I am posting this for a friend. He got this car from his uncle who I believe was the original owner. It is in pretty nice original condition. Its a green 4door with white letter tires. I dont have any pics of the interior, but it is as nice as the exterior. It has the original 455 4bbl, as well as the original double white wall spare tire that has never been on the ground. It is located in Carson City MI. just email me at cutlassjim69@yahoo.com and I will give you the guys phone number. Thanks for looking. $4500.00 No shipping available.003.jpg

I like those a lot.

Sale might be helped by adding mileage and whether the paint is original.
Also, the color looks a little washed out in those pics, like they could have been scanned from actual printed photos - are they recent? If not, when were they taken?

Pics were just taken on an old cellphone and texted to me yesterday. The quality is bad because his phone sucks, and I re sized them so people could see them. The owner is an ASC certified mechanic and keeps his cars properly maintained.

Excellent, thanks.

I suspect someone will want to snap that barge up.
If I were a couple thousand miles closer...

The car is awesome, they don't build them like this anymore. It would be in my garage if I had more room. I have a call into him to send me some interior pics, miles, and if it is the original paint. It is in incredible condition for being a 43 year old original condition survivor.
My friends uncle bought it new, or near new, and it was driven until the end of the 70s, early 80s, when he wrapped the car up and stored it in his pole barn, he did that with a few other cars as well. Then about 10 years or so ago, when he was about 90, he was not very healthy, he started selling and giving away all his treasures, that's how my friend ended up with it.

Neat car. I think it would look a lot better with the correct whitewalls on it. This is just me.

Yeah. I wouldn't want to sound critical, but I think these cars are far too dignified for anything other than whitewalls.

I'm sure the new owner would be happy to install them.
