MI '66 442 Convert 4-spd tricarb

Owner considering selling.

Very pretty
A few detail items need attn
missing radio
twist on oil fill

I have body tag photos and whatnot

pretty red car
white top

Body tag bottom line says "5VY" which I believe indicates factory 442

Does not have OAI, but does have Tri-carb setup. Glass bowl fuel filter.

Any interest?

I do not know the asking price.
Been stored for many yrs since restoration.

Please stand by...

Thanks for the offer to spread the word but I want to wait until I get a few more things done to it.

Mid-Michigan area...

Ha, no. Took off this year. It was expected therefore hard to pull off. All the good ideas were used, it seemed. I had a GREAT story line idea one day but did not write it down, and it evaporated. *sigh*

So, this car, I sold the owner[s] some stuff for it yrs ago, maybe 15 yrs ago.

He sent photos to me. I can tell you it is real, and he is getting ready to sell.

I will take the liberty of describing what I see:

VIN 33867Mxxxxxx drophead coupe'
Maroonish Red on red.
4-spd, MT console
Tilt column
nice resto on a NOT-rusty base.
"5VY" data plate
tach on console
black seat belts
flawless interior
rebuilt E400 with 1967-69 issue C heads
frame off resto
very nice 2-bar steering wheel
442 taillights
black background decklid trim "Oldsmobile"
twist-on oil fill cap- easy "fix" if you think it needs it
white top
redline tires on SSI type wheels
442 fender 'vents'
442 type spearless hood
442 type grille
front park lights at the very outside of the bumper slots
3 carbs
blass bowl fuel filter
power brakes
Posi, ratio unknown

Stick car should have a vacuum gauge, not a tach on the console; people often confuse them at first glance. Or its wrong.

I cannot price another man's car, no.

It could be a vacuum gage I guess, I just saw the pod in the photo.

I am awaiting more info.
At the risk of offending the seller:
