Actually enjoyed that, and for many non-Oldsmobile oriented car enthusiast that’s a pretty decent presentation.

“All original” under the car, headers are pretty obvious and he takes a while before he mentions that - as well as the fender mounted kill switch. Post cars can be an acquired taste and despite their rarity often times aren’t that desirable - but this is a very cool car. Original motor (not in the car). Four speed. W-30, docs?

The lack of any dash vents was something I had never seen before.
Quite creative how a guy selling cars calls his dealership a museum. Reminds me of the old “selling it” in the back of consumer reports.

All in all a pretty decent overview though, have seen much much worse online

Agreed. Non original colors can be okay, but that just looks wrong to me.

Agreed. I don't think I can remember seeing that before.

I swear every single volo car comes with question marks. I always swear by before and after pictures. Prove to me that car came that color etc. You will never see me buy a car from them.

Non A/C post coupes, wagons and 4 doors only. I have only seen a few over the years. I actually think I have seen more dashes like that for sale than cars that had them.

no way in hell does this car have 31k actual miles

Volo got busted by a Chevelle expert trying to sell a
454 SS el camino with a restamped drivetrain.

he deleted the video pretty quickly afterward im sure volo paid him off

the dude in their videos was on choppertown saying he had a million dollars to buy cars with
sounds like an original douchebag

I had a 1970 malibu a decade ago that was a neat car. 350-4 speed console and "special instrumentation" which was the ss round guages in the dash. The kicker was it was special order color buick burnished saddle. all verified via the buid sheet. So it is possible but with no docs it is a moot point on this one.

Lets consider... no broadcast card, motor vin is probably restamped, missing w30 intake, no pics of 256 carb or 977 distributor ( which means incorrect), incorrect alternator and master cyl, washer bottle on wrong side, red well is hacked up for headers - so no WZ manifolds either.. So it's a 442 in a strange color, w/ F heads and a TM rear. 85K.... Unbelievable.

Post cars do not have the dash vents as they have vent windows. So this car is correct in this regard.

Good to know Stefano, thank you. Not sure if I ever looked closely at a post car to check for dash vents, or lack thereof, next time I see one I will!
