What NOT to do to an Oldsmobile!

I found this on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oldsm...item45f21cbe76

Just makes me sick to see it.

It would be considered a pimpdaddy POS. Amazing how much money they spent to ruin a good car. Looking at the picture and reading the text of the ad says it all. I bet this is a good seller with 0 feedback.

I like the way you did that post. I would pull the engine out first. Of course anybody that would do this to an Olds probably put a Chevy engine in it.

I guess the owner doesn't understand that ugly, will get just as much attention as something that looks good.

I like the color, finish and attention given to the exterior of the car if you forgive the wheel size and the butterfly doors. I talked to someone familiar with that kind of door mechanism and he said they are not that good fit-and-finish wise when closed. Besides, the doors and wheels are too flashy for me. Put some stock wheels on it with new rubber and standard door hinges and I would drive it all day long.

I personally don't like it, but I respect the work that went into it. To each his own.

Yea, not my cup of tea...but hey his car his money just a waste of an olds to me, but I am sure there are people that may not like mine either. But like oldsguy said, get the wheels and doors off and may not be a bad cruiser. Did not look at the interior but would not take much money to get the doors back to stock. Sell the wheels and fund the project to get it back to stock...

Allan, it means if the chicks have metal plates in their heads.

Actually, the longer I look at it, the more I like it. I think it's kind of cool in a way....and I'm a bonehead, I don't have any metal in my skull. Wait I don't think that came out right.....

If you put on your aluminum foil hat you'll be able to resist..... Funny though, Karen didn't say you were a bonehead, it was some other wierd kinda name. She musta been talking about BEFORE you guys got married, or was it AFTER you forgot her birthday???

Kind of reminds me of an ugly seagull trying to take off. Not wild about the color, and don't know if you noticed, but there's a lot of trim pieces that have not been installed on that donk. Wonder why there's only one pic? Wouldn't you love to see under the hood, and inside the car? A lot of the cosmetic "things" only have enough surgery to catch the bling appeal. Wutcha say ta fitty cents? Still too much for ya?? Roll it away, cause ya probably can't drive it away......SOLD to the owner who couldn't bear to part with it.

Based on the look of it, those must be at least 24's. In 73 that car probably had a 350 with tall gears. With those donk wheels, I bet it could do 0-30 in at least 12 seconds. Also, not sure if they tubbed out the front wheels, but I'm guessing its turning radius must be a whopping 150 feet.

I am sure the owner matches the car with his fat pants hanging down to his ***. BUY BELTS FOR YOUR PANTS
Cant imagine I would want a skank that digs that stuff near me.
Gosh even the color is weird , should have wasted a rice burner instead of an American car.

As long as it is not one of those auto-darkening helments.
