I'm around, I just haven't been finding many Oldsmobiles so I have nothing to sell. LOL. But I'm on the hunt, looking for anything that can provide parts for others. How are you doing these days?

Nice catch on the 1970 fenders. Those and the door mirrors tell me that the car really is a 70 and the grills and bumpers were changed. Who knows why something was done half a century ago. In 1964, the popular thing to do was to cut the rear window divider bar out of your 63 split window 'Vette so it looked newer.

So?? It's commonly known that some 1971 cars were built with 1970 fenders till stock was used up.
More than that. I think the whole front clip was changed. 1970 grills won't fit into a 71 core support, and there's a significant difference in the headlight buckets and bezels between those years. The VIN will tell the story. Likely the Cowl tag will also validate the year, IF both of them are legitimate.
I just clicked the link and the car isn't there now.

This is one of those times you wish car fax was around. Looks like a straight car but would need documents to prove SX. My 72 had a 455 so if I put the SX on would that have satisfied a knowledgeable buyer. I doubt it. This one has been pieced together from different years. A decent looking car but until he proves SX who knows it.

I'd say its most likely an SX that over the years many owners (or one owner unfamiliar with differences in 70 through 72) has tried to keep in one piece. Clearly the glove box door was replaced with a newer version, the color doesn't even match let a lone the wood grain. But over all more right than wrong with the car and they are not asking a ton.
Its in better condition than most I found in the early nineties in Chicago when I was looking for an SX or a W30. Most owners had no idea what the SX even meant when I went to look at their car.
