Saw this one on kijiji a while ago and was considering it for myself, but have since decided that it is more of a project that I can handle, given that I don't have a shop that I could keep the car in, tear it down, etc.

It is a 4 door hardtop, which I think is somewhat scarce as I haven't seen too many of them in my lifetime, even back in the day when they were only 10 - 15 years old.

I talked with the owner, Reid, who seems like a really nice guy and is genuinely interested in cars.  He bought this car from its original owner in 1979 and drove it regularly until about 1988, storing it inside during the winters.  It was stored inside until recently when they had given the car to their son - he wasn't in the position to restore it, so they took it back home and are now selling it.  He said it appears that the original owner didn't drive it much in the winters as well, since the snow tires that the original owner sold him with the car had almost no wear on them.

They really like the car, as they've had it so long, but they are getting to the point where they can't work on it (Reid is having knee problems), so they'd really like to see it go to a good home where somebody will get it back on the road and give it the care that it deserves.  I told them I'd post it here, as this would be where people who are really into these cars would be looking.  I'd like to see the car saved as well.

I haven't seen the car in person, but here are a few points I picked out from my discussion with him (some of it is already covered in the ad):

- The car has 145,000 miles on it, it's all original except it has an Olds AM/FM radio in it (has the original AM radio still, but there are no AM radio stations left in my area so it would be a decoration only).

- Standard drum brakes all around.

- Power Steering

- All new brakes, radiator, tie rods, ball joints, motor mounts.

- Chrome is good.

- Needs exhaust system.

- Has all the original wheel covers, original spare tire.

- Bottom of the doors are good.

- Might need work on the floor and trunk, but would have to have a better look at it.

- There are some pinholes in the frame behind the left front wheel (had the car jacked up and didn't flex or break, so it might not need too much repair).

- Interior: carpets are gone, seats need upholstery, headliner is good, dash is cracked, steering wheel is cracked.

They are asking $2000 for it.
