They make it seem like everything listed is a high dollar option that wouldn't be on another lol ooooo dual mirrors aaaah a full rear bench seat,wait is that really there oh wow a full sized spare in the trunk it's got it all hahaha. and the best part it's been swapped with a cheap a sh*t American eagle "383" instead of the reliable olds motor it should have or at least a olds motor swap(350,403,455) would have been better

They can only do that because there is a buyer somewhere that will pay for it. At least they have the make offer option. Also they are offering free shipping. Depending on where you are that might be something. Then again I need to see something that cost that much prior to buying it.

I almost went to work, I mean became a contactor for him to buy cars. A few years back he had just a hidden shop with so-so cars then all of a sudden he rolled into something & got the bigger out there shop. I had no idea he expanded to Florida. For what he offered to pay if I bought him the right number of cars in a week wasn't worth it or the fact if I didn't get the right number no money that week. What made it less of a desire was I would of had to compete with him & another guy to get contacts & listings. That car is kinda better than what he sold in the past but alot of the value parts are removed for "fast" & shinny stuff. Even seen those good parts wasting away outside of the original shop.

Can't even BEGIN to start where this thing isn't just more than a painted over rust bucket. MAYBE the transmission is still an OZ, but I doubt it. The rear end may be the only good thing left on this car. Front headlight surrounds aren't black inlayed, clear front parking lamps...whoever did this has absolutely no clue what a Salon had on it.

That interior fabric is too light, and far from tight, as you can tell by them using the original gray buttons. Unfortunately they didn't bother to redo the seat bolster correctly when they recovered the seats. The sew job looks like 98 year-old grandma's hand sewing from the knitting club.

The dash has attempted to be covered in something. Didn't go so well it appears. It's definitely over 1087 miles.

Front and rear Oldsmobile emblems incorrect, the 442 decal set is aftermarket and seemingly poor quality. At least poor application. They obviously haven't seen or measured a real 442.

MAYBE $4500 tops. Take 20,400K off the top. It suuuuuuuuuucks.

Just...just....no.

Anyone take a look at the trans crossmember? hahahahah

And yes, the seats, the dash (trainwreck), the chrome on the bumper covers missing, the seat belt holders on the top of the bucket seats, I mean, everything is wrong with this car. And 25K?

Is the transmission crossmember notched but no metal welded in to close it off? I would have thought with bucket seats it would have had a factory console. Where is the hood scoop, car is so fast it flew off? He's in competition with Gateway Classics to see who can get more for a gbody.

Very poor attention to detail. Someone invested a lot of money into this thing. Too bad the execution is so poor. If it had rust it definitely looks good now but buyer beware.

Why would anyone accept this?

Looks like the mounting bosses for the LH grill are stripped or broken…. The whole front end on this car is wrong.

I loathe steering wheel covers. This one is probably hiding the beef jerky underneath.

Missing SS trim and bumper chrome on the front and back. That’s ok. No one will notice.
