Looks like a nice 442. Would like to see the engine NOT painted Pontiac blue.

The brake line bends coming off the master cylinder look a little sketchy.

That is definitely NOT a factory W-25 hood. In the picture you can see its an aftermarket underside.

The overspray on the frame is also sloppy and one wonders what is going on with the paint if they didn't take the time to mask off the frame when they sprayed it red.

Or at least hit the frame with some Krylon, It's a DIY job.

Pretty good driver. Strong #3.0-2.5. Unfortunately, for a regular 4-4-2 hardtop $50K is pretty much #2.0-1.0 territory.

Is it just me, or do the sun visors and headliner look a bit weird?

Yes, definitely. Part of what keeps it in the "driver" category.

Another example of screwing up a build as you are doing it that will take time and cash to fix. Obviously the cost of paint is minimal. To me another example of a non Oldsmobile person slapping a car together to sell. Funny thing too is that the oil filler cap IS the correct color. Hello...

Amen to all of these points.

Exactly. The prices people are Asking for A body Oldsmobile's these days is just mind blowing. Resale red.

Car leaves a lot to be desired just based on the pics. Many things seem poorly put together. One can only imagine what you can't see that will cause problems.
