Awaiting shipment on the car right now to see in person what I have to do but figured i would start posting the pics that were sent to me and give the story up now.


First off Thanks so much 501Paratrooper for posting this car and making me a very happy camper.

501 posted this on the for sale thread and after waiting like 2 weeks to get a hold of the guy selling it i finally did, and i was luck too cause i was the first one to get ahold of him after he lost his numbers. Various problem pics were sent to me to show the problems and then I had 501 go out and check it out. After he sent me even more pictures and talking to him I decided to give this car a shot... Worse case scenario i bought a pretty freaking rare car (will find out if numbers matching when it arrives) for 3500 that runs (for now at least)

Right now waiting on the title to come in the mail and the shipping company should be picking it up Friday or Saturday and SHOULD be here early next week.

 

throwing the other ones in a slideshow on imageshack. For some reason cant add to many pics to the site at once...

Where is the Hurst Olds?

 

Way to go Sicky,

I love a young may who put his money in cool cars. When I was your age, I wasted all my extra cash on whiskey and women.

 

Why is this Rallye 350 so rare????
F-85 Club coupe 1,020 ( 4spd's even less)
Sports coupe 160
Holiday coupe 2,367

Congrats on new toy

 

Isnt this one a sports coupe?

And 442 mustang: she is in my garage... Think I spun a bearing on her. Thread and video in the transmission thread.

 

Not as rare as the sports coupe or the F-85 club coupe 4spd car. If you go on EBay and see a Rallye 350 F-85 for sale its always a auto bench car very rare to see a bench 4spd car!!!

Isnt this one a sports coupe? I'm sorry I guess it is WOW !!

 

So it is the sports coupe one? Just want to make sure so I either quit bragging about it out keep bragging about it

 

According to your cowl tag!
F-85 70-3277 LAN
CUTLASS SORT COUPE 70-3677 LAN
CUTLASS HOLIDAY 70-3687 LAN

 

So I am I'm the right to say it is rare . So lets see how this diamond in the rough is when she gets here

 

Title just showed up so i at least know i bought a 70 yellow cutlass .

Vin seems correct also with the body tag:
336770m269948

 

Something about San Antonio and Rallye 350's - my first A body was a auto Rallye Holiday Coupe bucket seat w/AC car I bought way back in 1985 and drove back to Dallas the same night I bought it. Paid 1500.00 for it - it seemed like a huge amount of money at the time. Good luck with your project!!

 

I hope it is all you wanted it to be, congrats!

 

Congrat's again on your new ride. can't wait to see you finish it.

 

OMG so
A) probably never going to ship a car again in my life, the hassle of finding someone was just a pain in the you know whats it from the get go. and...
B) ITS STILL NOT HERE!!!!! Hopefully they will pick it up tomorrow and i will get it early next week ><


I am not a very patient person lol

 

That's sucks. Christmas keeps getting moved on you.

Do you know if they are actually the company shipping the car or just a broker?

I hope you do not have to wait much longer. I bought my Cutlass while on vacation in Phoenix. When I left, I parked it in a storage locker. 44 days later, and switching to another shipping company, it finally arrived in Ottawa.

Maybe shipping companies just have something against Oldsmobile Sport Coupes?

As my parents told me while I was waiting "Just think of how much more excited you will be when it arrives". I am sure you will react to that comment the same way I did.

It looks like a nice project. Good luck and have fun with it.

 

I'm sorry to hear that. I know exactly what you're feeling as I get alot of cars shipped to California. I've had about 5 over the last year and I've yet to find one that is good enough to stick with. I wanted to jump through the phone when speaking with some of them but I remembered they had my vehicle in their possession already!

 

Actually the broker was awesome that i finally went with. while talking to him on the phone he got a shipper estimate and everything lined up on the spot. They just didnt have any room in there truck today so they should be picking it up tomorrow lol.

And yeah i will jump on it like a teenager on his date at prom LOL

 

Good to hear things will be moving tomorrow, or I guess today.

 

Well we shall see if they pick it up today... fingers crossed lol.

 

Yeah now i am not happy...... they still havent picked it up and now it will be picked up monday apparantly, the stupid broker sent the trucking company to Port St Lucie and not Jupiter....

 

I had a long wait like this with a car,but it was the fault of the seller. It took me three months to get it!

 

No this one has to do with the broker of the shipping company itself. When i did the quote it was to Port St. Lucie and when i talked to him to confirm everything he said that he would fix it with the trucking company. But of course he did not, so they went to port st lucie to pick it up and then moved on lol

 

Sorry to hear about the delay, but at least you know the reason.

 

Should be picking it up tomorrow, will post when i hear something else...

 

FINALLY!!!!!! they picked it up this morning!!!!! Should be seeing her on saturday monday at the latest they say

 

OMG OMG OMG the wait suck dont

 

beyond belief lol

 

Take lots of pictures, of it on the truck, off the truck, ...

And then post them on here

 

any unicorn sightings yet?

 

Lol nice fire just nice.... and the short answer to that question is no unicorns. the long answer to that would be its in austin right now, was supposed to be here last night but some lady didnt know you were supposed to pay in cash and then tried to write a personal check, which also isnt allowed. Then they were supposed to be here this morning and the brakes on the truck broke so i think they are still in Austin waiting on a phone call now.

Good one thats funny!^^^ I know the anticipation. I was waiting on a car trailer to make a delivery once and was so impatient I drove to the city limits waited and pulled out behind the truck hauling it. I became so tickled at the number of people who asked the guy if he wanted to sell it each time he pulled up to a stop light/sign. He never knew I was behind him until he got close to my street and gave me a call for directions.

 

IT came FINALLY!!!!!

Will post pics later seeming this site never lets me for some reason lol

 

Will you have any time to post pics? Or will you be busy working on the car now that it is in your possession?

Glad to hear it finally made it.

I am going through the excitement myself again, the car is done at the paint shop and will be towed back home this week.

 

glad to hear it. Can't wait for the pictures

 

Subscribed, now where are those pics? They're on facebook, why not CO? C'mon, hurry up dude! lol!

 

Happy for you! Pics please.
