as always it is full of bondo but has some real good parts. the pictures look much better than it is. they told me that they were putting the carb on a couple years ago and dropped a nut down the intake so never tried to start it since. they tell me the carb was new and not yet ever ran but who knows. they said they didn't know enough to try to get the nut out. has power disc brakes, deluxe seat belts, A/C, and buckets. looks like the passenger door may be usable and the core support looks to be good. i have yet to get the trunk open. who knows what is in there.

Man, you find all the neatest toys! Good thing you got space to put it. What kind of condition are the seats, and how much would you want for them? This is one of those nefarious column shift bucket cars!!! Kind of what I'd like to do to mine (maybe)

 

lol, it is more like they are finding me. the UPS driver that comes to my area stopped by one day and asked if i buy Oldsmobiles and that he knew where one was. he told me about this one and i went right then to check on it. this was about early spring. they said it wasn't for sale so i give them my number and today they called me up and said to come and make them an offer. now i have to give the UPS driver finders fee. that is another way they are finding me. many people around here know i will pay them a finders fee.
now i have 2 extra sets of 70/72 +1 69 bucket seats. i am going to sell one set but not sure what set i will sell. i have 3 people interested in a set so i have to figure out what i am doing.

 

If those are true, spun alum. centerlines, they're worth a good buck.

 

No sweat, looks like it has a lot of very usable parts. You and John should start an on line store with all your parts.

 

i think they are American Racing Wheels outlaw 1. the center caps have American racing on them but maybe someone just put those center caps on them. would there be a casting on the back side? i don't know much about aftermarket wheels. it came with the original SSII also.

 

John and Oldspackrat has me beat all the way around. they are the true professionals.

 

is the ac valance at the bottom a 2-piece 8 track or the long one piece unit?

is the interior white or pearl, looks white to me

 

Cool find. Wish I had a place to keep my cars

 

it is the one piece valance and and white interior.

 

1970 only came with the pearl interior,so if it looks like a true white,then it might have gotten reupholsetered at some point on the past.
If the headrests are perfect,I'd be interested in the whole seats,just to get the headrests.
Anything that was available around here,I have already either parted or restored.A friend of mine who was a state policeman up here,moved to southern Virginia about 10yrs ago,and has found some cool stuff while driving around.He either parts it,or hauls it up here.

 

That is what I thought but the interior does look very white to me too. Yes those white headrests are of value, hard to find. I'd take white even if they aren't pearl.

 

i plan to get the seats out soon because the side window is busted out. i will clean them up and see what i have.

 

they are pearl. i just compared them to my 72 white buckets. i have no idea if they were ever recovered but the backs were covered with vinyl. the headrests look good other than the plastic flap under them. most of the plastic parts are not that great.

still not sure what i am going to do. the back seat would also be nice for a driver. this is one of those deals that if i sell them i will find a perfect car to put them in but if i keep them i will never find that car.

well Brian already said dibbs but if not I'd love to have them for my W30 everything I got new was Black that I had to paint Pearl - yuk

 

Nice find, you always seem to bring home some cools stuff!

 

to tell the truth, i have had so many people wanting them i am not sure how to handle it. not to mention not knowing what to ask for them or if i want to sell them. i feel i should sell the other set i have and keep these but haven't decided yet.

 

Nice! looks like lots of great parts on this one
