Welcome to the site Kevin! Nice looking car, and I think the 4 door hardtop is a little more cool than the 4 door post cars I'd encourage you to just enjoy driving it! My daily driver is a 1967 Cutlass 4 door and I still get comments/complements from people. You could put rally wheels on it or painted steel wheels with the smaller dog dish hubcaps could set it off.

Welcome to C.O. Looks like a decent car! Being a sedan and green kinda limits you on reasonable amount of $ to return on your money when selling. Tune her up and do some cosmetics and drive as is, IMO

Your posted pic with speedo at 100mph and looking at some of the pics you posted, inreference to the pass front tire with the white showing around the white stripe. Do you have weather checking? and also check the date code on the tire. Safety first!

Please post a pic of the cowl tag!

I say keep it and drive it and have fun with it! I have a 72 4 door same color i love driving it. Its not about what others think of your car its what you think of it and its about keeping oldsmobiles on the road. I would love to own a matching 70 that would be cool!
