But if you're into dumping a truck load of money in a car that may return about 25-33% of it, this is a great candidate for "resto."
Well I guess i need my head examined. I don't appreciate people bashing my car that im going to restore. People like that give just give more motivation to restore the car. Its one of my favorite cars and thats why I bought it. there was only 1300 66 442 4 speed verts built. car is very very solild well worth restoring. the front clip was just sittin on it, once i took it off it looks much better.

Thanks

Ah, so you're going to restore it. Thought you weren't a big Olds guy and were going to pass it on to a friend. But I digress... Just speaking from experience on the value proposition. I agree, though, the quarters and trunk lid are nice.
