I think it was a good price, and I have always wanted one.

You bought it?

 

Those are cool looking cars. And agree, you got a good deal on it. Good luck

 

Cool looking cars. Hope your up for a full restore. Its a project for sure

 

Here is another one, not mine.

Have to admire you for being willing to take this project on. '61 bubble tops are nice looking, no doubt!

 

Congrats, one of my favourite Oldses of all time. Good luck with the resto.

 

 

Yes I bought it. It will be a project for another time. I love this body.

 

Best of luck with it great style !!!
One of my favorite Oldsmobiles !!!

 

At least the rear bumper looks solid. Most 61s in that shape, the bumper is rotted out.

 

I have seen that too, but this car is pretty rust free for the most part. I know it has some issues, but overall it is s real solid car.
I wish I could start on it right now.

 

Congrats, you are going to have a lot of fun with it. I am about half way restoring my 1961 super 88, it is a joy.

 

That will be one cool car when you finish it. ~BOB

 

Are you doing a factory restoration or making a car with some fun?

 

Thank you , I would appreciate any information you might have that will help me.

 

Bob I should have sent you my 442, I wish I could just send this one to you.

 

I will have some fun with this one. The body will be stock, as I don't think it can be any better. I like the look of the stock interiors too. the drivetrain will be updated, and nice wheels along with some cool wheels.
So kind of a mix of new and old.

 

Actually, I have found several surprises already in trying to get parts and rebuilding the engine. But sure, anything you have a question with, I keep all my resource info on where to get parts. I have a machine shop at home so many of the parts I make, but it is getting COMPLETELY restored, nearly every nut and bolt, back to factory.

 

Well thank you. Can you post some pictures of your car?

 

It is pretty much in pieces right now, as I am just finishing rebuilding everything before I start putting it back together. I do have the front end all done, had fun finding lower control arm bushings, Kanter had them but they were out of spec, which many aftermarket ones are. Finally found the right fit from rare parts. Also the sway arm bracket bushings everyone carries is for a .500 diameter arm. Mine is a 7/8 diam. the same as a 1961 starfire. But yeh, I will get some pics posted of the finished engine, dash and other things completed.
