| So yeah I am new. 1 year 3 months 14 days 2 hours and 19 minutes (From the post of this) till I can get my learners. I am out of Colorado, I am only 14 but have 3 cars, 2 of wich I am gonna sell (Mustang and a Plymouth Fire Arrow) and am gonna use that money to fix up my Dad's 1975 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight 4 door hardtop with a 455 Rocket Jet and an Auto. Quite a substantal car indeed weighing in at 2 1/2 tons and a length of 19 feet and some odd inches. It is not in terrible condition. The interior is spotless, engine is strong but could use a tune-up, transmission is so-so because it leaks fluid and we lent it out to my Brother-in-law for a few months and he never put fluid in it so it slips if you are careless. The body needs minor work, Some rust on the right hand skirt and surface rust under the vynal top and on the decklid. Needs a new paintjob though. |

You know my Dad almost bought one. We were looking at one same car, same color, same interior the top was white same options same everything but it was a 'vert. So my dad goes home to get his checkbook and when he came back the lady that was selling it sold it to somebody else!!!! :thumbdown: That sucked terribly.

what kind of condition is it in? how much is he asking?
i've kinda been keeping my eyes peeled for a parts car. sometimes you can buy a whole car cheaper than replacement parts! |
