Hello from Kansas

Hello,

I'm a 59 year old classic car enthusiast. Over the last 12 years I have restored many good old rusting classics but have never done an Oldsmobile until now. Sorry if I ask a lot of stupid questions but as I said I'm a total newb when it comes to Olds.

Thanks

Hard to give a good value on pics alone, if the engine is in good condition and frame and body rust is little to none, I'd say it's worth in the ballpark of 9k, there is a very similar blue w white stripes 69 4spd in the classifieds right now for 19k. It probably wouldn't be hard to spend 10 more k on your buds car w paint interior misc parts etc.

Edit is that a Chevy engine? New valuation 6k, if it had a olds BB I'd go w my initial assessment!
