As much as I like Oldsmobile products, I’ve always thought of the omega as a redheaded stepchild. My perception was further swayed by this a$$ hat at my high school that had one all jacked up like a pregnant roller skate. I just can’t get past the ugly front end and see the omega as a sub model of the Nova which has beautiful styling. The Nova got all the GM performance parts and the SS package. I think the biggest engine you could get in an omega was a 350 rocket….. sorry to be a downer but that’s just my opinion of those cars and I would personally pass. If I wanted an X body that bad I would look for a nice Nova.

I'm 100% in the market for a 73-74 omega hatch to do an 8.50 legal drag week style build.

Id be all over it but Flerdah is a heck of a drive from Minnesnowta.

You're not gonna believe it but I went to the dealer with my Dad as a kid to pick up our brand new '73 Omega in that lovely orange. Ours had a black vinyl top and a trunk. Couldn't imagine it cost $3500 to buy.

Tan interior with a bench seat.

First week we had it, took it camping. I threw a lawn dart and yep, it stuck in the roof. My Dad mentions that at least once a year. He's still pissed.

I was positive it was the fastest car in our little town with that gold monster under the hood.

Sent him an email asking if the title is clear in his name and if I could get some more pics (specifically the interior and underhood).
