Oldsmovette

Seriously?!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corvette-195...sories&vxp=mtr

If 53-55 Vettes weren't worth so much, this would be a start on an F88 clone.

Jeesh, I'm not even sure how to respond to that, um, mess! Why was anyone "inspired" to throw the Olds frame and drivetrain in there, is beyond me, must of just had it laying around and thought "why not".

It would be a fun start for 500 bucks!!! 6k is about 5500 more than I was thinking for that junk.

Not a single bid?

Did not the '54 Vette come with a 6-banger? The 307 Olds would move the car down the road a whole lot quicker!

Had an n'85 Buick Riviera which came from the factory with an Olds 307.

No great shakes, I will admit. I shall further acknowledge, drawing on that Rivi experience, the referred to swap was not worth it, and probably lessened the value of the Vette!
