Bryceman sold it to Steve Kenny and it's been off line pretty much since then.

Steve Kenney frequents the various Olds groups on FB. Ask him directly.

The reality is that it was "dead" for years. That 1990s-vintage forum software kind of reminded you of being in your grandmother's living room.

My paternal grandmother's last car was a '64 F-85 4-door. She drove the $hit out of that car, a true Little Old Lady from Pasadena, in Westlake, Ohio.

It was always a slow running working site. I hadn't checked on it in years.
