Hello. Our credit union has recently acquired three Olds 442's due to reposession. We don't know a whole lot about these cars other than all three run, and there are a lot of spare parts included in the trunks of each vehicle. Based on what we've seen these cars go for, someone will likely get a great deal, and we thought your group of enthusiasts would appreciate us notifying you of their availability. The sale is being handled through "Dakota Adjusters" which is an auto auction company, but bids are open to the public. Please don't hesitate to contact them at the listed number with any questions. The auctions are open until 6/8/10. Pictures of the cars are available in their respective listings. I can also provide additional pictures of specific items or shots that would be of interest. To request these, please reply to the listed email address. Thank you! carrie.noe@firstdakotafcu.com, Vehicles are located in Sioux Falls, SD at Dakota Adjusters 605-338-7331 or 888-338-7331 http://www.dakotaadjusters.com/cgi-bin/admin/auction.pl
VIN #'s are as follows
338077Z102897 (Dark Blue)
338177M221992 (Light Blue)
338177G147260 (Burgundy)

 

Droooooooooooooooooollllll

 

If I only had my detached garage. Extra cash would help too.

 

All the good stuff either shows up too far from me or when I have no $.

Very nice cars!

 

My spidy sence is tingling on this one. Check out this web address from thier "supposed" website..

https://www.virtualcu.net:8443/servl...itUnionId=2873

I know of ZERO banks that use a log on page as such ESPECIALLY an FCU.

Additionally, since when does an auction company NOT post thier PUBLIC sales on thier website??? http://www.dakotaadjusters.com/

Just beware. Something tells me these are stock photos from the interwebs.

 

Boy, it sure looks like the cars listed on their auction site had pictures taken at the same lot.

 

I have to agree with you on that one...

Found some fedback, not pretty but seems like they do exsist at least - http://www.merchantcircle.com/busine...ead?cid=984184

 

i submitted a bid and asked for more pictures.

lets see what happens...

 

scam

 

I clicked on the email listed and got a rejected delivery today. Seems funny to use a bad email on your listing.

 

is there anyone on this site located in Sioux Falls, SD? someone who can physically check this out?

 

I googled First Dakota FCU and came up with a web site.
I e-mailed them and this is what came back.

It seems like a scam to me too. I could swear that I saw pictures of the light blue Cutlass with Cragars on Craigslist a few months ago.

 

Call the lady
Check it out for yourself...

Check the FCU website.
Looks similiar to mine at LAFCU.com

I'd be interested in knowing if it is.

 

I would love to answer any question that I can to help thoughs of you that are interested. I will apologize, we are a very small, closed charter credit union located in Sioux Fall, SD and our staff knowledge on vehicles is limited. Also, all repos are sold "as is" so it would be in ones best interest to check them out or hopefully find someone in the area that would be able to do so for them. Since we don't have the knowledge we decided to list them with "Dakota Adjusters" located also in Sioux Falls, SD. They are an auto auction buisness that handle's mostly repos and is open to the public for bidding. They can be contacted at 888-338-7331 or you can visit there website at www.dakotaadjusters.com scroll down and go to the link that says - "Our Dakota Adjusters Online Auto Auction" and you can scroll through the vehicles that are up for bid. If weather permits, I do plan on taking additional photos tomorrow, I will see if I can post them once I have them. This is not a SCAM - I posted these on this forum as I thought there may be some interest. Thank you!

 

They are located at Dakota Adjuster in Sioux Fall, SD not Rock Rapids, IA. I do not think they are one in the same.

 

hi everyone! i'm here in sioux falls, and just bought the light blue 442!
its numbers matching (well as much as these cars can be anyways) original and in great shape! trunk floor, 1/4 and front fenders need work, but otherwise very good condition!

i think we might need to move this post

 

Scam, huh? Congrats! Pics, please!!

 

$11,200. Good money on all 3.
Please post pictures to verify auction.

 

Congrats, nice looking car based on pic even if it need a little work.

 

thanks!

i will post pics as soon as i get the car back to Toronto. i fly back tomorrow morning..& car should arrive in a few weeks (i have to arrange a transport)

fyi, this car has the protect-o-plate, tic-toc tach too and an oldschool Crane Cams ignition system !

the burgundy car was too modified for my liking. J head possibly a 455.(havent run the casting # yet.) it had evidence of front end damage (shims between fenders & header panel) i couldnt get into the trunk as it was missing the lock cylinder. the car sounded awesome though..ceramic headers & a huge exhaust

the dark blue car was all original, and slightly better body (bad paint job though) the engine runs but was weak. the dash was cracked and dash fascia was peeling. brakes were sketchy lol but a good resto candidate.

 

I'm one of the other 2 guys who was bidding on it, I'm glad to see it went to a good home.

 

2 weeks, and lots of patience but its finally HOME!

thanks to "Autos on the Go.com" for the best shipping support one could ask for!

 

Thats a bold move and a great looking car!!!
Best of luck with it, Scuba!

 

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post pics soon!!!!!!! did you get a good deal or a great deal??????

 

I'm glad it turned out ok. I guess we were too sketical for our own good.

 

There's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of skepticism (as opposed to calling "scam" at the drop of a hat) . Glad to see that a little faith paid off in this case.

 

i was very skeptical as well, to be honest. i did my homework, and i still didnt believe it was true until the moment i actually walked into the repo lot and laid my eyes on the 3 cars .

 

We look forward to seeing more pics!

 

mo' pics!

plates are on, but i have yet to detail the interior lol

Looks awesome! Congrats on the purchase!

 

car is awsome dude, but you gotta have the tiniest garage. oooooh manual shift, very cool

 

haha i know it sucks! the house was built in '62...but its gorgeous so i had to buy it! i cant do anything in that garage but park!

i have a garage setup in a storage unit a few minutes away (where i'm rebuilding another 67 cutlass)

 

yea you got a keeper!!!!!!!!!!

 

appraised value $22,600 Canada-bucks im a happy boy!

report shows this casr is all original. paint might be too, as there are no signs of a repaint anywhere!

 

Looks like you have a *great* car there! Just goes to show you that *sometimes* things appear to be a bit fishy when they're not, and it pays to check them out! And to ignore those who feel they have to say "scam" when obviously they don't *know* what they're talking about.

A word of caution: The appraisal value looks to be decent and is good to have for insurance purposes, but if the "report" you refer to is the appraisal, I would not trust any of the information in it in regards to any evaluation of originality. The vast majority of appraisers know next to nothing about Oldsmobiles but will still tell you they do. Obviously, if the engine has been replaced (like you previously indicated) it is not "all original" by any definition.
If you'd like to post or email me (wmachine@shubes.net) the data plate and Protec-O-Plate info (pics preferred), we'll decode them for you.
A good repaint would be hard to detect if done "right", especially if if older. Could really take a trained eye to be sure.
Regardless of any of this, it is still a great looking car!

 

thank you! i will mos def take you up on this offer!

i agree as well. the appraisal is solely a gauge of the vehicle's fitness and retail worth.

i will email you the information once i get a chance!

 

PS. should this thread get moved?
