Hello fellow Oldsmobile enthusiasts, long time lurker because I haven't had an Oldsmobile of my own in many years, 28 to be exact.
But I'm very close now. I've got my eyes on a 73 Supreme 4 door, and I'm trying to determine a fair value.
It's a fairly basic low option model, around 100k miles. Nice and clean and unrestored though.
Any ideas what it's worth?
I haven't found many value guides online, but if you know of a good one maybe you could point me there.
If this is the wrong area to post please feel free to move.
Thanks!

Welcome to the site. Probably around $2000-2500 if its not a rust bucket, runs, and everything works. Pictures or an ad would help. Its a four door, not up there in popularity.

Perfect, thanks. That was exactly the range I was thinking. I realize its not a very popular model, exactly why I like it.

Even if it is a four door, a car like that, unmolested, is a good find. The Colonnade sedans were pretty high-styled cars. A set of Super Stock II or III will dress that car up and make it look vaguely sinister...

Yep thats my plan!

Alright, I checked it out tonight. It will be in my driveway Tuesday. I can't wait! Needs a few little things cleaned up, but I'm happy. I'll be the 3rd owner. First owner was a little old lady who special ordered it new and had it till she passed in 2012. It has folders of information of everything she ever did to it as well as a copy of the order form. I hate to wish my holiday weekend away, but come on Tuesday.

1st thing to replace is the weatherstripping around the doors, its dry rotted and missing a few chunks. OPGI has a kit for 4doors, is that the best place for it or where else should I look?

I've had good luck with these vendors. I don't know if they carry specifically what you need.

You can even buy weatherstrip through your local auto parts store, but they'll be selling something made by one of the above. Autozone, for example, sells the Metro parts. You have to input your vehicle information.

Cool, thanks for the info!

www.73-77olds.com is a great parts and info resource for the Colonnades provided you can get registered and logged in. Lots of great people there who know these cars and lot of them part cars too.

Thanks, I registered over there last night. Still waiting for moderator approval.....

O-Trouble, like the screen name. May make it an adjective expression around the garage? As in - I spot me some oldsmotrouble now.

Enjoy your new toy!

Neat car. I love 4 doors and wagons. They were the everyday cars that most people owned. Post some pics!

Thanks, I definitely plan on taking a ton of pics when I get it!
