He was told alot.

Been nice if he took a picture of the rear bumper so we could see if it says 5.7 or not.

Cant ask him - im sure he'd say he was told its a 350

I'm sure the poor lighting hides the peeling paint, you can see it on the windshield header.

There's a major-league dingbat who tries (unsuccessfully) to sell cars on this site based largely on what he was "told".

No mention of engine displacement. Do you think the frame cross overs were added later or factory? Same goes for the exhaust pipe routing holes in the frame cross overs. Nice looking car. bt

I am pretty sure that is an X frame car and the frame cross overs are the frame and are factory. Also the exhaust cut out could be stock they do have that feature I just do not know what size they would be.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, I only know enough about 55-59 GM cars to be dangerous.

Nice Olds! I like the RC sign on the garage, too!

It's not real rust,it's "cosmetic rusting ". I think that's a different class on the rust chart.

The Tempest looks like a decent car for the money, I would definitely be interested in it if it was closer to me. A sprint car with 4 speed and gauges at a very reasonable price does not come up that often. I would be more concerned with frame rust from the way it is sitting.

I don't know that much about them either but looks pretty stock compared to other older cars I've seen. I had a '63 Impala when I was a kid and they were still using somewhat similar frame shape then. Not exactly an 'X' but close.
Here is a '58 Caddy frame for reference.. Note the exhaust routing.
