1973 Omega

I love this. The seller is making lemonade out of lemons by claiming that his unwillingness to ship the car, which is understandable as shipping arrangements should be made by the buyer, is equivalent to free shipping because, apparently, HE won't charge you any shipping costs. What a guy! Is he single? Can my daughter marry him?


Second, if he gets anywhere near his buy-it-now price, given the way the car is rusted half-to-pieces (at least, the parts of it we can see!), is apparently missing many parts, and is slowly being consumed by the earth whence it came, I want to meet that buyer and offer him a bridge or two I know of!

That would be a good project car. I think $1200 is at least two times as much as it's worth. It has a 455 and TH 400.

Yes, I think the engine is the most valuable thing in it. Is a 455 worth $1200?

I'm not so sure about it as a project. It's heavily rusted, lots of parts are missing, and we have no idea what the top half of the car looks like nor the interior. If one really wanted to restore an Omega, I think examples in better shape for a similar price are out there.

Definitely. Truthfully, instead of project I should have said "restoration." It looks like it needs alot of work.
