guy pulled up by the house today looking for directions towing this 49 olds was selling it to guy nearby who wants it for the motor .thought i would post it, looks like a cool car

 

Cool!

I would have tried to buy the rest if the guy only wants the motor.......

 

I am considering it he lives a mile from me not sure what he's asking

 

oooo parts car. i could use that for a few thiings

 

There are quite a few good parts left on that rig.That sun visor is a hard to find item and worth quite a few bucks to someone who needs one..... Tedd

 

I'm going to stop and talk to him after work today find out his plans I have no idea what it would be wort minus the engine and trans .

 

That looks like a rebuildable car. Put a 455 in it and it would be a heck of a streetrod. It is not a coupe though. I always called them slantbacks but don't remember the proper term. I bet Tedd does.

 

I think he called it a club coupe but I don't know for sure .

 

I looked it up and it called a club sedan.

I think the slang name was torpedo butt... Tedd

 

talked to the owner today he says all the parts minus the motor and trans are all there its a model 76 came with a six cylinder originally asking 3000 what do you guys think?i have no idea about the value of these older cars .would be a cool car with a 455 turbo 400 tranny .the current rear i believe he said was 4:56 gears that would need to changed out .

 

Agreed, that would make a nice street rod and should be kept Olds powered. Would be neat with a 455. I love the GM styling from that era and the torpedo bodystyle Olds is one of the best looking they had a great grill and trim.

 

I really like the 49/50 Club Sedans. It seems like they're getting more popular all the time. Some concerns would be missing parts. I see the side window trim is missing. It would be very hard to find. If he has all the parts, trim sheet metal, interior, Bumpers, grille bars, taillights and fins etc. and its all nice it may be worth 3k. If anything is missing the price should go down. These parts are getting harder to find in good condition and prices are going up. Nice bumpers and grille bars could set you back $1500.00 or more.

 

It may have been changed but I am pretty sure it did not come from the factory with 456 gears. They are probably closer to 336 or 355.

 

The trim parts on a 50 88 would also fit if you could find a another parts car that could be a winner... Tedd

 

he did say he had all the trim .maye ill wait it out a bit and his price will come down .havent finished the resto i got now .
