i changed the wheels to see what it would look like. i don't typically like aftermarket wheels but they don't look to bad. the tires that were on the car were shot and i wanted to drive this car to see how it would drive. i got it 3 months ago or so and only drove it on the junk tires, WOW what a difference. this car is tight and drives very nice. it need some work and a paint job but may post it for sale soon. i have a guy wanting it but if it don't work out i will post it for sale. these cars shift harder than i thought they would. i tested the cruse and it worked but after about 8 miles the cable broke. hard to believe this car is as good as it is after sitting for 5 years before i got it.

 

I also tend to be more purist with Olds wheels, but ya did good on this one. They look really nice, now all they need is a center cap and dress up that silver paint on the rockers...

Great looking car! Like you said they are really tight and good handlers with as simple a fix as new "good" rubber.

Broken cruise cable?? No sweat. Lots of them in the boneyard. Up here a cable would go for about $2.00. Get a couple just in case.

 

the tires and wheels were some i just had around from a 69 cutlass i took them off of and sold the car. i am going to let them go with the car. and put the original set in the trunk. the car looks a little better in the picture than it is. it's not rusted out but the paint is shot.

 

you get that car from jersey?

 

no. brazil indiana. the guy that had it graduated a year ahead of me. he got it in the late 80s. he quit driving it around 95 and sat till 2003 then parked in 2004 till i got it this year.

 

Nice car. I like those wheels. They look good on a G body. At least they aren't 26" donks.
