One Last Time Keeper

[4oldsmobiles64]

At my age of 56 I've tinkered with and sold cars - mostly AMC for 20 years. I sold out of the AMC business around 4 years ago. Since then I've fixed up and sold 2 1979 Hurst Olds - and 1 88 Cutlass Supreme Classic. After I sold my black/gold 79 Hurst Olds with original paint - 48,000 original mile car I felt nauseous when the guy drove it away. After that I said if I come across a 85-87 442 I'm going to actually keep it for myself as I grew up in the 80's and is a bucket list car. Took me 6 months to complete. This was a black and gold car that I colored changed to white as black is a nightmare in the south to keep clean and it is really hot. I know white wasn't available in 86

Except for floor board was shot because t-tops leaked like most did - this was a super solid car everywhere else considering the last person really neglected this car.
I was even told the last person ran a paper route in it which is why the side mirrors where gouged like a tiger had clawed them. Still a bunch to do under hood as I gutted all the smog pump and plumbing and reverted the quadrajet into a manual carb instead of electronic. This car obviously wouldn't pass inspection in some states but does ours. Eventually will fix power seat - air conditioner - reapohlster seats etc. but this will be the last Oldsmobile and those that I've bought and sold are great cars. I can see why especially the 442's were expensive.
