    Haven't we seen this one before? I certainly remember one of these with the weird chrome trim piece on the rear fender ahead of the Custom Cruiser script. That was never a piece of original equipment on any clamshell-era Custom Cruiser.

    For a non-woodgrain car, the Custom Cruiser script is in the wrong place, too. It should be below that body-length chrome strip just ahead of the rear fender side light.

    It's certainly a crappy ad with only two photos and no description worth mentioning. He DOES list every possible search term people might use. That's very helpful.


    It is good-looking car, at least what we can see of it. As I say, additional photos, particularly of the interior, would be wonderful.

    Yes, $6500 price never changes. Posted multiple times.

    Wow. He's got TWO of them! Although the white one is what, a '75?

    $4000 is still a lot of money for a car with non-functioning A/C, non-functioning tailgate, a door stuck shut, and 170,000 miles. In the photo above, the driver's door is not fitting right. The chrome strip doesn't line up.

    $2000, tops.

    Maybe he fixed the aforementioned issues? That ebay link is from 8 or 9 months ago.....

    It does look like it's pretty straight. If it were a $2000 car, it'd be derbied by now. It's better than that. I'm not an Oldsy guy, but I kind think it's worth more than that.....

    It sure does photograph well! I like the color. This was probably mentioned somewhere earlier, but the last muffler job looks questionable lol. I hope it finds a good home!
