Just bought this last week, hope to have it picked up by the end of next week. Can't wait to go cruising! '72 VIN correct for dual exhaust, 350 4bbl matching (I hope), FE2, all the details are correct for it to be a 442, but I won't feel great about that until i see it. Kind of a leap of faith on this one.

 

Welcome aboard the C/O. Good looking drop top

Welcome to the forum.

 

Welcome, nice car!

 

Did you get any documentation with the car?

 

Nice looking car - hope it works out for ya! Nice photo setting, too!
Sure need the hood stripes on mine..........

 

Unfortunately not one shred of documentation. When I get it I am going to drop the fuel tank and cross my fingers.

 

At a quick glance looks like a correct W29 from what I've seen and read. NICE!!!

 

Got my new chariot in, all papered and tagged up now. Cleared out a space in the garage.

Power steering, power disk brakes, factory AM/FM/8-track, all working. 4x power windows, power top and factory A/C.

40k original miles.

Took the wife and kids for a cruise the other evening. It was pretty awesome.

 

Welcome aboard

nice break in ride

 

There is nothing like cruising with the family in an Olds. Nice looking Olds!!

 

Congrats! Welcome! Great looking car!

What a wonderful car!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

What's the history on the car? Did you get any paperwork with it?

 

good luck looking for the paperwork, I've looked on the gas tank, back seat, front seat and still no paperwork. but still having fun. good luck with the new toy!!!!

 

I received no documentation with the car other than an oral, two-owner history. The guy I bought it from said he had not dropped the tank, checked under the seats, or gone under the dash. It's a Lansing car, and from what I've read it's unlikely I will find any build sheet hidden in there.

Just got it blowing cold. Next up is to see if the 8-track is working. Then I'll probably re-do the interior seats (Legendary is the way to go I hear). I may paint it one day- the paint's about a 6.5- but thats some time away. I wanted to replace the Y71 Outside Temp Indicator, but after tracking one down I thought I'd keep my $475.

No body rust or in the trunk or floorpans, but its got a little rot in the LF wheel well. But hey, after 40 years, who doesnt get a little rot, huh?

I'll post some more pictures later.

 

Can't wait to see some more pics!

 

Look under the carpet as well...especially the front carpet where the door sill plates rest along the outer edges of the carpet. Have found them slipped under there a number of times on Lansing built cars.

Sharp looking car!
