1969 Oldsmobile 442

What's wrong with this car? Price to high? Seems very nice.

For $20,000 it would be a steel, but I don't think he'll take $20,000. It's a nice car for sure, but if he were going to do it up like a Hurst (with the wrong color scheme) then at least he could not put a mix/mash of emblems on it that never went together. It looks nice, but then again odd to me because of that.

Is it a 442? is it a w-30? is it a H/O? is it a ram rod?

To much going on with the builders imagination for my taste.

And those horrible cheap Edelbrock chrome valve covers really need to go,along with the chrome hood locks.

just my personal opinion

It was a no reserve auction.

I think as soon as you start to change around a car in that manner you are really limiting your market... Left alone as a nicely restored 1969 442 It think would garner more bidding attention. Not saying someone can't change thier car around if they want, as a seller you need to understand everyone doesn't have your own taste when it comes time to sell.
