Well, if you really love it, all you have to do is pull out the wallet. The real question is (if married) will your wife love it. Lol

You know that one has made a lot of trips 1/4 mile at a time. Neat car.

Not at all Joe. My point was you can look at the car and tell what it was originally purchased for. I am sure it has an interesting history.

88k restoration and they used studs to mount the carb?
Or, am I confused. I have always seen bolts securing the Olds 2-bbl carb.

those two cars are very close but the engine paint appears to be different and a few other minor things which could have been done since last years sale.

Looks like the same car to me sans the OAI and stickers and wheels and tires. There is also some similar wording about forced air in each ad.... yet one car doesnt have OAI.

On second thought maybe not the same car. One has heater delete plate and one does not. Some other things are not the same as well...

That is a beautiful car. It's kinda funny I followed the link to Mecum for this car and starting browsing what was for sale. I found the 1964 88 that I just sold to a guy last week. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_de...e=&startRow=61
