Thanks everyone.
Well the car all original which I love the engine and gearbox were rebuilt 7000 miles ago by the previous owner. Not a spec of rust in the car which is brilliant. At the moment slowly fixing all the small things and bits and pieces that we re not done neatly.
currently trying to replace the fuel sender unit with a new one still looking and giving the engine a good tune up.

Matt -

Do you know where the car was built/manufactured?
What Model/Series Oldsmobile?
Suicide doors both front & rear. Are they original doors?

Was built in the states but shipped over to Australia and put together in the Holden factory. It's a F36 has the suicide doors both front and back and the doors are original. But one door did at one point got fixed up from being ripped off in a garage incident

Very interesting history of the Holden factory (formerly known as General Motors-Holden)
