no No NO!!! eBay Monstrosity

Another <insert expletive here> ruined Olds!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1972-...item27c45b59d4

  • 1972 OLDS CUTLASS 2DR, - Ok
  • BUCKET SEATS, - Probably not stock
  • SHIFTER IN FLOOR, - I prefer on the floor, but that is just me.
  • CUSTOM 26 INCH RIMS AND TIRES, - Lord why?
  • NEEDS SOME WORK. - Some??
  • TRANSMISSION LEAKS,BREAKS ARE SOFT, - Shocking, I would suspect a longer list, but B R E A K S?
  • PLUS IT AS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. - ...Lest it sees the light of day.
  • RUNS AND DRIVES, - But poorly
  • NEEDS WORK BEFORE SAFELY PUT ON THE ROAD. - Really?
  • DUAL EXAUST, - "Dual Exhaust Leaks" without those pesky pipe hangars.
  • NEW TIRES, - *sigh*
  • CUSTOM OLDSMOBILE GRAPHICS ALL OVER THE CAR AS SEEN IN PHOTOS. - Really? Didn't notice... *my eyes are burning*
  • ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS - First question, what the *%#$ is wrong with you??
  • WILL SELL WITHOUT RIMS, LET ME KNOW.- Not a selling point to me.
  • PLEASE DONT DID IF YOUDONT PLAN TO PURCHASE.- Needs translation
  • JUST HAD TO RELIST BECAUSE SOMEONE DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY.- Or saw the paint and rims.
  • THANKS AGAIN PLEASE DONT BID UNLESS YOUR PREPARED TO WIN AND PAY. I HAVE ACCEPTED TWO WINNING BIDS ALREADY, AND THE PEOPLE DIDNT PAY. MAKE ME A NICE OFFER AND ITS YOURS THANKS - Ok. My offer is $50 and YOU deliver. Might be some parts that are usable. And keep your stupid rims!

Those rocket emblems all over the car are great.
They make it look like a chicken was walking all over the side of it.
And it has chebby stripes to boot.
With those graphics at least you wouldn't have to worry about people bothering you at car shows asking you what year and type car it is all the time???

The first thing I thought of when I saw the graphics on the car:

It looks like pajamas my youngest son would wear. Spiderman, Batman, Oldsmobile...

You know...it is sort of geeky, but I think that Oldsmobile PJ's would be kind of cool...Of course, as an "adult" it would be Oldsmobile "Lounge Wear."

Un-pimp My Ride

That seller obviously needs our help. Here's a start... http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...mp%20my%20ride

He needs more help than that. Maybe assisted suicide would be the way?

Tasteful.

... and, finally, a seller who posts the car's true mileage.

If you flip the mileage upside down it is double Satan

Someone should post the picture in this thread because this car is going to sell fast!

I've got to say it. That does not look like the kind of neighborhood you'd normally see a car like this in.

My wife and I were friving through central Florida in 2009, driving our 72 and came across these beauties. We were so envious!

I just noticed....

Almost all these DONKS are FOR SALE. Not sure why, especially after all that labor of luv that went into creating them. Maybe the owners just don't feel the luv anymore either.

I think you have to be a basketball player to get into those things...

You know these chicks don't know who the daddy is, and besides the guy that drives that car isn't the type to pay support. No my friend that car is for cruising the high school for naive chicks because they don't know any better!!!!.......now where are my gold teeth I'm going cruisin it's 3 o'clock!

Getting tired of cleaning the puke off of my keyboard. Gotta stop reading these posts.

There should be a rescue group where people could donate these poor Olds. Sell the wheels to fund the restoration of them back to normal Oldsmobiles.

Not even gonna look. I don't care what others do with their cars. No offense to those who need to offer their opinions, but I got enough going on in my own life.

So how come people never post all the f-ed up aspects of their own cars for all the world to see? Must all be perfect and holy, haw haw!

Here's your sign....

Yeah, you're right. Last year I did just that. It was an exclusive Olds show. Some kids (and I mean 14-16) were strolling through and expounding on how 'ya, these cars were common as dirt back then'. In a way they were right, but I asked one of them if they knew what the engine was. "It's one of the gold ones Chevy makes for older Corvettes" was the reply. "Close enough" I said and wished them a good day. Not my job to rain on his parade.

I'm in it for the fun. If they want to ask questions instead of assuming they know all about a car that was built 25 years before them? That's ok with me.

I LIKE when someone comes along and says, "Is this a Buick or a Pontiac". I just smile and say "Neither, It's a Packard". Usually they stop, look around the car and come back. "I thought you said it was a Packard - but it say's Oldsmobile on it. When did Packard make the Oldsmobile? " It really would help if I had 'signs' to give out
