I may trade my Shovelle or Kutless for this one.

What's wierd is the ad has Hurtz Olds and Hertz Olds. So this car must have been one of the Rental fleet from 'Hertz' at one time until it got hurtzed.
The exterior looks good, but you can't tell from 1 picture, and it's from a distance.
The SS wheels are missing their center caps and trim rings, the horn button is missing, so are a number of dash pieces. Loose wiring hanging down by the gas pedal. For a car that has a new interior this isn't showing it well. Maybe it just means new upholstery?

But then again - it's a clone. Not claimed to be original HO. Wonder what engine/tranny/gears it has? Probably worth the 10K asking. Just too bad that some sellers don't proof read their ads. Opens them up to 'stuff'. Interestingly the seller has a link to check out 68 442s. Wonder if he knows the HO could also have been based on the Cutlass. Only 51 club coupes and 464 sports coupes made the HO list in 68. Total HO production in 68 = 515

Unfortunately this car is not going to sell for big money since it's not one of those few. It might not take much to turn this into a much nicer car.
