Had only $2000 in the whole car! Raced it all of 69' and spring 70' every weekend at Onadaga. Ran 12:60 ET at 109 mph all day long. Cheap to run and fun car to drive. Put a 6 cyl. ch**y and 3 spd in it I bought thru salvage and sold it to an East Lansing college student for $1,200!

How about EVERY Olds (except some four door parts cars) I ever owned. Everbody used to ask me why I sold such neat cars and my standard answer was " So I can get the next one". Looking back, I have had some neat cars and even some promos that my dad got me when I was just a little kid. The promos were sold after a pocket-emptying divorce and out of everything, I think I miss them the most.

 

I never had any "designer" Oldsmobiles. Mine always were "salt of the earth" Olds. Two I would like back were a 1960 ,Dynamic, 371 engine. It was clean as a pin and the engine was so quite, one couldn't tell it was running. Next was a 1969 Cutlass, very clean also. Very nice car. Hopefully I will soon be "missing" one of my 1967 Olds 98 Ls'. Later, Ken

I donated my 1974 Cutlass Supreme to the Red Cross and bought a 93 Bonneville with a supercharger. Worst move i ever made in my whole life. Within 6 months, i donated the Bonneville to the same charity and i bought a 77 Cutlass Supreme. I still miss my 74.

 

I've never sold one. Had one wrecked for me while it sat in the driveway but I've never sold one. I don't think I ever will

WAIT! I did have a '70 SX parts car once that I scrapped before I knew what an SX was...that was a big mistake, and one I wish I could get back.

 

'70 SX, first nice car that I owned, traded my '68 Delta Custom in as a down payment...I was suprised that they took it in on trade, as it was sucking oil about as fast as you could pour it in.

I cant even remember the number of cutlass 2 and 4 doors I killed (parted out)

I would take any of them back today.

 

I really miss my 76' 442.. It was by far the most fun I've ever had in a car. Swivel buckets, and a built up 455. Here's a pic with my 84. Had to sell it cause I got laid off back in 09 . However, the gentleman that bought it from me restored it to concourse quality. From what I hear some $35k into it when it was all said and done.. I sure do miss it..

I never thought of myself a an Olds guy but in counting up more than 50 cars I've owned I count 4 Oldsmobiles.

Kind of wish I still had:
1939 Olds sedan. My very first car, purchased for $35. in 1954. Nothing about the car was remarkable, just nostalgia.

1965 Cutlass Convertible with 330 and 2 spd trans. White on white on white. I did some restoration and it looked sharp but I never liked the 2 speed transmission. Still, it did look great and was one of the few cars I've owned that has probably gone way up in value from when I sold it 15 years ago.

Olds I don't miss:
1956 4 dr. hardtop. Bad choice for a college student car. The gas mileage and maintenance costs made me realize I should send it on down the road. I traded it for a Borgward Isabella TS (look it up).

Olds I will keep:
47 model 66 Convertible that is currently a street rod project due to be finished in about 2 years. It will have warmed up 455/7004R with GTO rear and MII front. I can hardly wait to get it driveable.

 

2002 Bravada Jewel coat Red, sunroof, memory seats,mirrors andchrome wheels. Not really sold but a lease.

 

The only two Oldsmobiles I ever sold were an '84 Delta 88 and an '85 Toronado. They were both nice cars, but I doubled my money on both of them. I've been thinking about finding another mid-'80s Toronado and doing a 455 conversion...

 

If I had the money I would love to buy my 66 back and build the 500hp 455 for it I collected parts for but never got to build.

 

Wish I never sold my '63 Dynamic 88 Fiesta Wagon....42,000 original owner miles. Unfortunately, didn't have indoor storage and the original paint started failing , so had to say goodbye

 

I forgot the 73 Hurst , 70 V/C and the 76 98 2-dr.

 

I would like the '69 442 hardtop 4 speed back. What a solid project car that one was.

 

The only two that I actually have some regret selling were a 70 Rallye 350 and a 70 - W31.........

 

The only one I regret selling is my 69 442 W32. Chrimson red with black interior. It was bucket seat column shift. I still keep an eye out for it inall the for sale sights and papers.

 

Well don't let us stop you.
