I actually have that on my watchlist just to see what it sells for. I think they are still ugly after all these years but you could make a heck of a sleeper out of it. It is sad that Oldsmobile actually put 442 decals on these.

You know that you're reaching on trying to make the sale when mentioning that the "260ci V8 is topped by a black-finished air cleaner" oooo wow. a real black air cleaner. I'm going to rush my bid in now.

Oldsmobile probably did not have much choice in the matter. GM most likely called and told them "we've introdiced the Chevy Citation this year. We want you to make an Olds version off of the same chasis so that we can milk it for all it's worth".

I agree with all of you probably one of the butt ugliest cars around right up there with the Pontiac Aztec and the 2008 Subaru Tribeca B9
BUT its no reserve and you would probably be the only one at the Saturday night cruise in rolling that 442 !!!!
