Olds did away with half the bolts sometime around 73. Same gaskets and same valve covers...Just didn't drill all the holes in the covers and head. And seems like it was three bolts on top and two bolts on bottom. Which didn't make any sense to me because the bottom of the cover was longer/wider than the top.

Would be nice is someone produced some cast pieces that looked almost identical to stock. With polished tops they might look the same from a distance.

What's he selling?

[dataway]

Totally off topic ... put has any Pontiac owner got so fed up that they drilled and tapped some small holes along the top of the head to add a couple of extra valve cover screws?

[dataway]

He's not selling his photographic skills that's for sure.

He needs to deduct $3000 for the engine being stripped down to short block.
Says he has the original wheels but he also better have the heads and intake/carb.

I wonder if that was original with red/red vinyl top. Pretty unusual if that's the case.

That would be cool but I'm pretty sure vinyl tops were not available in red, at least that year.

“95% there.” ... after you replace 20% of the rusted out sheet metal and replace the at least 15% of stuff under the hood that’s missing.

At least he’s honest about the poor condition of the body - that’s the first time I’ve seen rotten pillars listed as an “ez fix” -type thing.

Clicking through those photos was pretty funny.

I think the best part is that the ad makes no mention of the "elephant in the room."

Will need rockers, quarters, doors, ect. These parts are easy to come by and for the most part inexpensive.

If I owned that car I'd sort the mechanicals and drive that baby the way it is. I bet it goes for $8k

You might want to run a couple of 4x4s from rocker to rocker to keep the drivers seat from falling through.

No Reserve Auction! Very rare find! True 242 vin! 400ci V8! TH400 Trans! Power steering, Power disc brakes, and Air conditioning!

No matter how hard you try, you can't exclamation point your way past that kind of rust.
