1961 Olds 88 My "former-car" is For Sale!

I didn't think this should go in the Cars For Sale section unless the current owner wants to list it here. At any rate, I sold this car back in 2004 for reasons I have not been able to justify since... I have had several projects and can't seem to get them done because I feel they just don't measure up to what I had. Yeah, I know, what a cry baby, we have all sold cars we wish we hadn't. I sold it to the current seller for less than half of what he is asking for it now. He made some great improvements to the disc brakes and Air Ride system upgrades. The wheels and tires are different, but then that's always in the eye of the beholder. Here is the link to the ad, isn't my Old 1961 Olds Dynamic 88 still beautiful !!!

As much as I would like to have it back, as I said, I sold it for less than half of what he is asking. I don't think I could bring myself to pay more than double for something I sold before. Perhaps it time to find another 1961 Olds 88, I had another one before this one that was a Hot Rod Top ten car in 1994, Ironically, that car is also for sale, here is the link to that one:

You have some real talent, find a car that speaks to you and do another.

Thanks Eric. I'm trying real hard with a 1965 Cutlass/442 "Tribute". Some days all seems good and others are nothing but frustration. Right now the fact that I have been waiting for a reproduction dash pad from OPGI for 7 months is putting a big damper on my build. I should of sent my original to Just Dashes long ago, I kept hanging on to promises that the part was going to be ready "next month"...

RC , Its still your car, and definitely got a lot of attention back then.
The car makes a great computer and phone background screen LOL. I got out bid on the first 88 you built with the BB chebby motor ,at the Atlantic city auction and car show ..10 years or more ago. I believe that also is up for sale in New York State somewhere.
Any your cars have inspired me to build one also.. working on it now!!
Keep em coming RC
