73 Olds Omega

Anyone have any leads on a 1973 Omega, will settle for a 74 also. I'm looking for a restoration type project with a good body to start with. Interior condition not that important. Midwest locations would be the best. PM me with leads,pictures,prices or just post.

Thanks Gents

Found

Thanks to those who attempted to locate an Omega

I drove up to Packerland,WI yesterday and scored a 1973 Olds Omega. Everything on it seems to run well, except it needs a choke on the edlebrock carb, which is not my favorite carb. I purchased it from a a guy, who brought it from another guy(jagoff) this past summer.

He ran into some bad times,and did not want it to sit around in his garage

The person who had the car before him did not take good care of this car, while the body is decent, some of it could of been prevented by proper storage, but he seemed to be careless and let it sit out in the snow in the winter. This guy destroyed the dashboard, because he wanted to take out his CD player Ugly mopar Orange!!!

I drove it yesterday, and found out the engine is very strong, but it's a Chevy .060 over I'll have to have someone perform a serious surgery with Olds 350 Rocket transplant, after my 455 goes into my 1972 Cutlass "S".

Overall I'm happy that I was able to find this car, which is hard as heck to find. Looking for some of you Omega guys to give me some pointers in the future.

Yeah I was at a lost for words when I seen the Chevy engine in it. I'm still at two because I sold the 67 Cutlass(rusted frame), so I could buy the Omega.
