Hello,
I am hoping I can find someone local to the VOLO auto Museum
Thanks
Brad

 

Brad , are you looking at the Blue / White 71 Convert .. ?

I have a friend from Phoenix looking at that same car , and I just seem to have
some unsettling questions .. No high resoultion , or underside pictures ? No specific information on who did what portion of restore ?
Real nice looking car though ..
My friend may be flying up to Chicago to take a look . We must have some Chicago friends that know Volo's reputation and perhaps this car if it is one in the same .. JT

 

I am actually interested in the white 1962 Olds 98. I just have this innate fear it may be somewhat of a let down....

Love to hear more about VOLO

 

I bought my car from Volo (71 442). They are pricey, but as far as my experience, completely honest. I checked out a few cars when I was up there and they all looked clean. As I recall, it was a few years ago, but most of the cars are condition 3 to 2ish with a few condition 1.
Also I remember asking them for photos of the underside and door jams. They sent me photos the next day.

 

I only know of Volo from having visited. I second the statement, "They are pricey"!

 

My friend that was considering a car @ Volo passed on it .

The 62 , Olds 98 that you are looking at ... Just from the images , really looks like an honest car . It is a completely stock 53 year old car . From the patina on lower rear rockers , to paint under hood , to interior ( It is EXTREMELY tough to evaluate the door panel fabric ) it seems to reflect a 29,000 mile car . It looks like they opened both front and rear doors to display no sag in the hinge area .

The need for having yourself OR a professional appraiser look at the car is really where the deciding factor . You car have them put it up on their lift : Fully check for rust or any body repairs . Exhaust , brakes , and any leaks . Get your hands on the suspension pieces , and see if any parts have already been replaced . AS Volo is CLAIMING it to be a 1 owner car , ask for the stack of original buying and maintenance receipts .

Good fortune on whatever you decide , and if you are looking for a recommendation on an Illinois appraiser , consider " Stefano " from this site .
Extremely knowledgeable from my dealings .. JT

 

I'm a 50 minute ride away. Have sold there a few times. I shy away now and sell myself. pay for my time and I'll pick it apart for ya

 

If I can ever help in the future, I live in the next town over.

 

Im still interested in getting an opinion on the car!

 

It's too bad, I used to live about 10 minutes from there (maybe less) in Wauconda. I would have gladly checked it out for you.

 

X-neighbor, I'm in Island Lake.

 

be very, very, very, very care full with them. I have caught them twice on bogus W cars.
