Another olds story.
saw this car back in February in Kingman, Arizona $25,000
not a terrible price. Supposedly had the original 455, but came with a bench seat. I figured I could always switch to buckets if I really wanted to unsure about the car with the bench seat.
I did not buy it yet he said he would take 22k.
fast forward to May I had bought a 70 pace car the previous month because I wanted a 70 olds. It was close enought.
I thought it was a decent deal at 27K so I bought it. All of a sudden the blue car dropped in price so had to buy it.
sold the pace car.

Day 1 car arrives i checked the Engine # and it matched. The guy selling it guy brought it to me for $250 “Fuel money”

Came with a fancy mexican seat cover

One dice on the dash and one under the seat Previous owner? Aftermarket tach has to go. It had a factory tach in dash. Was just disconnected works great, Score!

Few spilts front back seat


Nitrous was installed on the engine I knew I was gonna take it off.
I was concerned about it having nitrous but has good compression, so I think I’ll be OK for now.


Nice original decals in the trunk

I found the build sheet on day one when I took the seat out. Half of it anyway.

i immediately got rid of the tan floor mats

Good headliner just needs dome light lens


Cleaned under dash a bit

Orig radio in trunk no *****


Tossed the tan mats first day


Much cleaner with nitrous removed and coil Mounted towards the back.

Sport mirrors installed

Hood chrome

Partial build date i see an 11 11/69? I don’t think it would be 11/70 correct


Found this in the lower quarter in the trunk Score!

Dedicated to the previous owner I took some fishing line and hung the blue dice.

 

Looks like your having fun already! Nice purchase!

Yes thx! The first two weeks is always hectic getting to know the car.
its an addiction.

 

Looks like it's landed in the right place! Coming along nicely.

Was it originally a bucket seat car?

11/70 I think they would have been well into the '71 model year production. You should be able to get the build week from the cowl tag?

 

No 11/70 would not be correct. Oldsmobile started building 1971 models approx August of 1970. Kool 442, Congrats!

 

no came bench seat column shift
if someone has the column shifter amd linkage id probably put it back to stock for now. I need the two rods and the shifter arm.

 

Thx!

 

I have it all up here but I'm in Canada, you should be able to find the parts somewhere close to you.
