Runs, drives, turns, and stops. Not much rust for a 40 year old car. Needs paint, engine accessory bracketry realignment, and interior. It'd take about $1500 to make it into a summer driver.

Very cool car, lightest of the A-bodies at 3200 pounds. It has a very good running original 2bbl 330 V8 Jetfire engine and a non-original turbo 350 transmission. This would make an excellent drag car or street machine. Most of the chrome trim is inside the car waiting for re-installation.

Emissions Exempt. Clear title. Good tires. It was brought up from southern Ohio.

$1100. Located in Haslett, near East Lansing.

Dan I though that it was going to be your wifes suprise present?

 

I wish i had an extra grand ....That would make a sweet project! Steven

 

for real, Im not typically a fan of olds, but that car would be really sweet, with a chevy eng. anyways haha.

Yeah it was. However, I've found it difficult to find time to even yank the fenders in order to paint them, much less stitch together an interior for the car. I can't afford to have someone else do the work, so I either present her the car as-is (which would NOT impress her) or else I try again with a different car some other time.

 

I hear you,kind of hard to work on it at another location.

 

Yeah, it'd be sweet, but as a cruiser or light drag car (12.50 and slower) it'd probably be better to retain an Olds engine, I would think. Preferrably a 425 CID with steel crank, ported heads, and a hydraulic roller retrofit cam.
