Would it be correct to assume that the seats and interior panels all need recovering and that the interior material is in need of a skilled upholsterer to cut, sew and fit to the existing seats and trim panels? Also assuming that the pictured seat is just for the purpose of moving the vehicle. What is the condition of the convertible top and the exterior paint? Thanks for any info that you are able to provide>

I have the material in the boxes, I think everything is already cut and sewn to fit seats and panels...I will open the boxes and get back to you on that. The pictured seat is just for the purpose of moving the vehicle. I have many shelves of Oldsmobile parts and believe the top frame I have belongs to the 61...just need the convertible top. The exterior paint is new, we picked up the car from the paint shop 2 weeks after my father passed away. Everything on this car is NEW...just needs to be completed. If you are interested in this vehicle, I can connect you to my uncle who can give you all the details and answer any other questions you may have. I also have a 61 Olds 88 parts car that goes with the sale. Thanks

Thanks for the additional information. I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I've been looking for a '61 Olds, having driven my parent's during my high school years. A project car would be acceptable if the economics work. Missing interior parts can be challenging to find. For example, your car's dash pad seems to have been removed. If the core is intact, it can be redone but the cost is very high. Having the paint done and the mechanicals rebuilt is a real plus. At this stage, it's important to me to estimate the amount of $ needed to complete the restoration so as not to end up with more invested than the value of the car. You're welcome to send me a private message when you've looked over the upholstery situation.
