As of right now it is serving DD purpose...Not going for a total show car but one hell of a DD....Heres a lil history on the car


My Dad bought the car back in 98ish...It was a one owner 87 model w/69k miles..Here is a pic with my first car..It was a 80 model but wound up going to the junkyard




In 2001,I was hit head on in it by an 85 year old man...No one was hurt..






Dad kept the car and rebuilt it...We found a 84 for a donor car...Dad drove it for a few more years and then let the car sit and only used it to pull his lawn mower with lol...

Up about 3 years ago,I started driving it more and now in the process of redoing it..Gonna go with old and new...I love the look of auto x cars and prob go that route...Heres some latest pics of it









Junkyard score on the 87 set up


Out with the old





In search of a parts car right now....Going to build my frame up and swap the body over....Also got to replace the roof cause of the vinyl top...Car was factory non vinyl but one was put on aftermarket.. Between 2 toys it will take me a while to get this going good....Im just happy to be messing w a Olds again..

Nice score on the nose, dig those lights. This car will build up well - nice lines.
