Just joined, do not own an Olds yet. Looking at 1970 Rallye 350 cars. Joined to gain some knowledge.
Been driving Corvettes for years.

Sorry won't buy an Oldsmobile before I get rid of any of my Corvettes.
Full disclosure there 3 Corvettes total, 2 Ford pick ups, a Dodge and a Toyota.

What year Vette's? Original or custom?

My brother recently purchased a '60 red/white cove vert. Only seen pics and it looks sweet, supposedly a major resto in the '80's when NOS parts were plentiful.

Good luck with your Olds hunt and welcome!

Does the 63 still have the factory Rochester FI and does it run right?

Welcome! You've come to the right place to gain knowledge on Oldsmobiles, these guys are great! I noticed you're looking for a Ralleye. I peruse the car sites all the time. I don't know what price range you're looking at, but there is a really nice Rallye at a place called Southern Motors and you can view more pics and read the description at the following link:
https://www.southernmotors.com/Inventory/All​​​​​​

Good luck!

Welcome aboard !

I'm an Olds guy with a strong admiration and respect for Corvettes. Particularly C3s, they are the cats meow.

Rallye 350s are great cars and will make for a solid addition to your stable.

Original FI car and original 63 FI unit just not the one the car was 'born' with.
Runs excellent, lucky to have had Brian Futo rebuild it,

I have looked at the online ad, looks pretty good in pictures. Would love to get a 4 speed but since its going to be a family car to enjoy i need to look at an auto. My wife and 2 daughters are short and will probably have a hard time with the clutch. No way am i bolting a 2x4 on the clutch
on a separate note does anyone know if the seats in this car are correct? I usually see 'buttons' and a different type of pleating.

Thank you

That's the correct seat pattern for the F-85 in 1970. The "S" & Supreme had different patterns. The F-85 is a plain jane as far as the interior goes. If I ever get another Vette, it will more than likely from the early 2000's. A buddy of mine just bought a '96 LT4 in October.
