If this was closer It would be at my house already. Looks like a good parts car.

Wow, someone will get a great deal. It sure does look repairable in the pics.

The owner mentioned that a donor roof was "welded on" in the 90s. I bet he posted the add with his phone and forgot to specify "JB welded."

Whatever you do with it, it is worth a $1,000.

Aw c'mon! It ought not be THAT expensive to bring it across the Bay Bridge-Tunnel!

Besides, you can always pick up a fine Virginia ham while you're there. I recommend a short detour to Ivor to purchase a R. M. Felts Packing Company "SoutHAMpton" brand ham. Lord that place smells delicious...

If the whole interior looks as good as what's visible, it's easily worth a grand.

I would have to hire someone to haul it back and I know someone that would do it. I couldn't get money to him until next week, I am guessing it will be gone by tomorrow. If it is still around next weekend I will take a look.

Maybe not. Except for 72455 I don't know anyone heavy into Oldsmobiles in Tidewater anymore.

Besides, the people who want one to stick an LS or Chevy engine in it don't want anything that needs the roof and structure work this one needs. They always want the best condition cars to do their butchery to.

Everything doesn't have to comeback as a trailer queen that can't live life as it was built for. AKA total joke. PUTZ

This looks like a perfect drag car to me.

Honest seller???...
Does happen anymore?

Some sleezebag will part this car in a minute. It will be at volo as a one of none in three months.

Cutlass with many new parts: carpet, package tray, etc. Seats and headliner redone 20yrs ago, still solid but dirty. Hasn't run in years but should off a gas can. Biggest problem: the roof was cut off and a donor roof welded back on in the 90s.....and done very poorly. Front and rear glass are out, front broke during transport, but rear is still good. I don't think glass can be install because of how bad the roof was aligned. I have ALL the trim for the car, front and rear, plus boxes of new, old, and spare parts. All assorted, I haven't gone through them all. Take it ALL with the car, it will need to be towed. There's money in the parts alone, and if you know how to swap another roof, then all the better.

350/TH350. Was originally a 2 barrel, swapped to a 4 barrel in the 80s.

$1000 OBO/NEG

Very reparable.
Sitting a tad low in the ***. If that indicates the frames shot than 1K is the take it away scrap price.
Good frame & floors 1K is a steal
