This is a very specialized car aimed at a true Olds fan, thats who you want to pass it on too. If a guy says "looks sweet, ive been looking for a nice 4-speed muscle car to fix up" then thats not your guy. The guy youre looking for is "oh my god, a numbers matching 67' four speed 442! Check out that 400! Oh man look its still got the original rear end! Its so rust free, look at this and that.." if you literally have to PEEL the guy off the car, you know you've found your guy. The problem then is DO NOT try to squeeze that guy for money just because you know he loves the car. Remember, you need to be doing this for the CAR'S sake, not the wallet's sake.

And btw. If anyone says anything about what this car "would bring at the scales" then dont even let them on your property. No offense to anyone, but that is insulting to this vehicle. This is a long way from a parts car let alone a scrap car. Its not in great condition and has no title, but its a long way from a pile of metal, its a numbers matching 442. A true 442 at that, 4-speed 4-barrel 2-exhaust. None of that lame "im called a 442 but my auto transmission doesnt live up to the name" stuff.

If that perfect buyer doesnt show up then i entrust the safe storage of this car to F-85 haha. Id rather see it sit stored safely by an Olds lover than see an awesome car like this with amazing potential sold for parts or...i shouldnt even mention scrapped, its not even an option.

So maybe the seller should spend some time trying to get a title. I'd hate to have the VIN replaced with a State re-vin, that would ruin the car as well

"Too rough", or "just a bare bones 67" or "NO thanks!" are just a few things I heard. Obviously, they're not worthy, but if they were into it, 5k is too much.

But,,,, its not my car to sell so in the end I respect what ever decision the guy makes.
