"It is nice to say that it still has all 5 original rims and it has never been switched over to a super stock rally wheel of any kind..... price is with rally (superstock 2) wheels. "

Costs more with the original wheels?

IDK? Maybe the seller figured it would just have more appeal and is adjusting to the lack of response from the market?

Here's the part I don't get...All that said, I don't think the seller is misrepresenting this car; in fact, he's doing everything reasonable to make sure all the information is disclosed. Just needs to tighten up on his editing is all I can see. Kind of hard to follow that blog as 1 paragraph.

Yes price has dropped and it is sporting new wheels and tires to make it more appealing. I apologize for not re-wording the ad.

jstrits

no..the price was adjusted a little while ago and it has new wheels as a bonus. I didn't think it was too tough to follow.

Nobody likes these cars more than me; hardtop, convertible, and/or post. Finding one in un-touched "virgin" condition is a bonus! I love them when some teenager hasn't modified said cars with Hi-Jackers and Thrush mufflers (I'm giving away my age here, all you young whippersnappers have no clue what I'm talking about). If this was a Chevelle, chances are it would have changed hands many times over the years and be a BigBlock SS with matching numbers!!! (Yes I'm being cynical and sarcastic!)
"Ten Large" for a car in this condition is more than fair and someone will be getting a great car with many more miles and smiles to come. Good luck with the sale and lets hope the new owner is a member here or becomes one.

Thanks for the comments..I at am my final price for this car. I wish i could sell it on here to someone who can appreciate a nice no excuse olds. just looking at that pristine trunk floor inside tells one that it was never a rusty car. so many have the $7000 cash in hand mentality. Well usually those cars still need a ton and they'll soon find thay have $17,000 invested in a car they thought was a bargain. Saw you sold your convert, that looked like a nice one.

Hated to see it go, but it was a storage nightmare. I can store and work on three cars in my garage, and the convertible was #4.

It's a very nice car, however Richard (gearheads) may be on to something, put a set of mags on it and it may sell for a higher price quickly. Look at the difference with Macadoo's car, basically the same thing.

What is interesting for me is to see the green colored dash with the light colored seats , headliner and light yellow exterior . I always wondered about the green dash in my 72 with the original saddle bronze exterior , it didn"t make any sense to me to have those colours together for the combination. Now that I see that car , a green dash must have been a somewhat standard colour to use for GM back in the 70's. By the way I think it's in great shape for the age and should be scooped up by someone with 10 grand to spend . There's nothing to do to it that a body shop would need to be involved. Just some TLC with a rattle can and lots of time to clean her up , then jump in and just drive it .

The recommended interior colors are specified in the 1972 Dealer Ordering Guide and 1972 SPECS booklet. Those publications also say that Baroque Gold is a recommended color upper for a Bamboo lower color two tone car. Dark green interior is also a recommended option for those combinations.

The color combinations are completely in line with Olds recommendations for this model and it's a lovely example of an original looking car.

I would have never ordered green for my interior that's for sure !!

A set of 24s, tint the windows, thumpin stereo, and some candy paint will set it off.

When this car sells, everyone will be saying I should have bought it.

Sweet car. No AC, right?

The dash is not green. It is brown as it matches the carpetand kickpanels. It was a different hue from earlier years. It may look that way but is not green.

I'm not sure how it all got started but I was thinking the dash was green too. Sure doesn't look like it now that I see it again.....

Allan R

Hmm, I just noticed the light diffuser on the left side of the steering column, and the T44 hood lock. So that means it also has the accessory lighting (went and looked at the rear view mirror pic with light to confirm that). The T44 is a really nice option and has a special 2 piece cable for 71/72.

I love the look of this car just as it sits. I'm sad no one wants it even at the lowered price.

79MKII

I agree. I guess it's a reflection of the classic car market right now. It's a super clean car.

No AC, right?

Koda

If you look through the thorough photographic documentation linked on the first page, you will see that it is a non-AC car.

If I was in the market for another car, I would jump on this one in a heartbeat! My 71 Monte, my first car that I have owned since 86, is solid sandalwood which is the same color. Mine has saddle interior(buckets/console) so interior color is close. They would look great together but I have way too many cars and projects right now. If I can get rid of about a dozen or so I might be able to look at another car. Good luck with the sale, hope it goes to a great home!
