Beautiful car! Someone should grab it up, but I am sure nothing will happen this week due to the weather up there.

Nice car, the '61 had that jet-fighter type design. The color combination, both inside and outside looks fantastic. Is that the original seat cover design?

Beautiful!

Awesome "88". I had a nice one and sold it for some reason that I can't even remember… Heres a couple of pics of my Olds Dynamic 88

I'm currently working on a 65 Cutlass, but if I wasn't I would be giving you a call! I love those "Bubble-Top" Olds.

When I first bought this car i went looking to see what I could do to it & your car was the one that impressed me the most. I have read about it & think the car is one of the nicest I have ever seen. I will have this one for sale until March (or if my other cars sells before then I will keep it) if it does not sell by then I will be pulling the drive train & putting in all the seals that are needed to fix the leaks. I will then drive it for another season & next winter I will start the transformation & will probably be in touch with you with lots of ?'s. I don't have 30 grand to put into it but would like to do the lowered look & disc brakes, probably go with original colors & original interior. Original motor runs great so I won't be doing anything to it already put new lifters, rocker arms, carb, water pump, master cyl, etc in it. All but 1 lifter was froze from sitting in a garage for 16 yrs without being touched/started. Drove the car for the better part of the summer & it ran great.

Would love to have that car. Frame repairs and previous (whats underneath) body work hint at hidden rust issues? Still, wish I was close enough to see it.. always wanted one.

For those that are seriously interested I have close to 60 pictures of this car including all areas that have been repaired. Don't want anyone making a trip without getting a good idea as to what they will see when they get here. I have been on a few of those trips where they tell you how great the car is & when you get there you find out it is ready for the scrapper. I don't think you will find a better deal or cars for the price I am asking. And don't forget it comes with a parts car & an additional 394 motor & trans. I do know once I finish it you won't buy it as cheap as it is now, probably be buried in it, with my foot on the gas pedal pushed to the floor.
