My first 65 442

It is only a parts car but it is real. Has a Buick engine and transmission in it. Should have it home this weekend if the ground is hard enough. Comes with a 64 body and a 65 Cutlass 4 speed car that is completely cut up. From what I understand, the 4 speed transmission is still there. I have been chasing this car for three years and still never seen it with my own eyes, lol. He tells me it has a posi in it but I am not holding my breath. I will post some pictures when I get it home.

IMO any Oldsmobile find is a good find... Even if it's not worth rebuilding, saving the parts may help someone else in need...

These are the other pictures I got 3 years ago. This guy was difficult to get a hold of. I just had to stop in and try now and then. Some times he would be home but not able to dig it out for me and other times he was not home. He has no cell service at home and has no land line. Chased this car for three years and someone else showed up and he sold it to them on the spot. That guy just contacted me a couple months ago bragging that he beat me to it. Now he has decided to sell it to me. Every time I went I could never see the car. The only reason I knew it was there is because a good friend seen it. The amount of time I have into getting this car is much more than the amount I paid for it, lol.

Maybe I could put two of them in it and make it 4 wheel drive. Wonder how hard it would be to bolt to a front wheel drive transmission.

I have no idea what any parts are worth but I will be selling any parts that are good. It does have a sway bay on the back also. I can't tell yet but it is either a SE or SF rear end. I need to clean it better but I hope it is an SF. Not many parts left that are good.
