Spotted this pace car clone on ePay and I'm thinking hmm 4 speed car BUT then I saw that it wasn't born a drop top and WHY would you do that?













To each his/her own I guess

1: its to see how many emblems and stickers you can fit on a car.
2: Its good to have a driving parts car to demonstrate what works and what don't.

 

Just what i've always wanted, a 1972 Oldsmobile Circus Convertible .

 

The top on that car looks like a bag of walnuts.......Tedd

 

Without frame and body reinforcement I wonder how long it will take to sag in middle and the door's etc to go out on whack That's one screwed up mess.
Would make a good parts car as stated above

 

WTF?. That is terrible...........just say'n

 

OMG! What a mess.

 

I saw that last month... I really don't like to talk smack about peoples cars but this just looks ridiculous. There is a 55 shoebox here in town that a guy I know built. You wouldn't know the top comes off until its pointed out. Awesome workmanship. Maybe that car bumped my standards for that kind of mod too high.

 

Scot, thanks for the daily humor. That's all I'm going to say.

 

I can see chopping the top off of a 4-door and using it as a beach car, but that's just a hideous monstrosity.

That Oldsmobile has been butchered!!! What a waste!!

 

Ah, come on guys.
I really like the hood.

 

Wow

 

I can see the ebay add now. Awesome barn find! Only one like this produced. Super rare Oldsmobile 442 Cutlass W 30 convertible. Only W 30 car produced with the low compression 350 engine makes this a particularly special find. This is also the Only known H/O produced with the aero lump top option. . This car was the actual car used to pace the streets of PO Dunk Idaho. Car has 352000 carefully documented miles. Do not miss your chance to own this classic piece of Oldsmobile history. Call 1 800 dum-bass.

 

I can't believe someone put that much effort into it.
It does bring back memories, in 1979 my brother had a 1969 chevelle that was blowing so much oil smoke he couldnt even drive it anymore so before he junked it we got out the torch and cut the roof of it to make an animal house style parade car! We crashed the local 4th of July parade with black smoke and beer cans trailing behind us. Dad got another call to come and get us at the police station.

 

I just notices that it's a 4 4 2 W30! Yeah and the last two posts were too funny! Aero lump. Classic (olds). Ah, maybe it's the back medication talking... Goodnight all!

 

Jeez the giant spaces between the two 4's and the 2 didn't get into my post makes no sense otherwise.

 

Oh. And the 2 on the drivers fender is a trunk numeral. It's ok now.

 

Check the trunk numerals as well.
