Hello,

I have inherited a '79 olds omega from my grandmother who passed that I would like to sell. She has owned it since new.

It is all original but has seen better days. I am sure it has rust, the vinyl top is wore out and quite frankly it has not moved in at least 8 years.

In 2002 I put a new battery in it, sprayed the carb to get it going and took it for a quick drive. It has been sitting ever since and sat for who knows how long before that.

What I know about it:

V6?, 145k, auto, tan vinyl interior, pimp green, and all original.

I am looking for someone who could do something or use this car...could be used as a restore project, parts etc. I have pictures to email on request. The car is located in Pittston, PA. I have the original PA title in hand.

$$ Best Offer, Negotiable.

 

The base engine on the '79 Omega was 231 cubic-inch V6. Optional were both 305 and 350 V-8s.

1979 Omegas in need of total restoration don't have a great deal of value these days. You don't say if this is a 2 or 4-door, but in either case, the Old Cars Price Guide puts the value of a 1979 Omega in running condition but needing total restoration at about $750. If the car won't start and it's bordering on parts car status, it's more like about $450.

The fact that it's been owned by the same lady all its life means that it probably hasn't been abused or hacked up at all, so that might make it interesting to someone.

 

It is a 2 Door. I am not looking for a much just a fair home. I'd like to take it on myself but logistics and to many other irons in the fire...

Here are pictures from 8 years ago when I last saw it. It hasn't moved.

 

It does look straight, but, as you've said, it has issues. Good luck finding a good home for it.

 

Love the green. Quite a rare vehicle considering the tach dash, buckets/console combo. I didn't think the gauge package was available with the V6. I hope it finds a good home.

 

Any interior pic of the car?

 

Has it been stored inside or outside? and how much worse for wear is it now? That buckets/console/gages is interesting, even though the Busix is not high on my list of engines.

 

I'm very interested in this car. PM's sent.

 

I sent a few PMs as well. No response.


Side note-when this ice/snow lets up, I'll look at that 77 for you.

 

The problem with PMs is that the person you're sending them to doesn't see them unless he logs back in to this site. Too bad you can't get his email address directly. From the number of posts under the OP's name, you can see that he has not been back since his second posting on January 23.
