    Looks better in photos than in person. I think it was an Ohio car before coming to Atlanta. I remember it had some rust issues and the owner had the interior redone in non-factory upholstery.
    It’s been for sale for some time. I looked at it a couple years ago and I think the seller was asking $7500 then and I decided to pass.

    I am glad to know that..it crossed my mind to get serious about this one too..someone will with the values of theses going up.. I am not as crazy about the BOP versions and/or big bumper cars over the Cheby's.. 76's have some cool one yr features often though for most clams.

    Sure if it couldn’t get a nibble at $8,900 or a buy it now at $10,500 let’s shoot for $12,5. Makes perfect sense to me.

    The flaws on this Olds are minor and the asking price is not at all out of line for what these go for these days.

    That is just fact 2021. :cheers:

    9F2E2F8C-F8B1-4E1B-8FF3-8E9893350359.jpeg The market on these cars is insane. I just bought this one for $12,500. But I got lucky on it.

    Yes it’s a 72 with vinyl roof. I’ve had these wheels for 2 years. Was going to put them on my 76 and never got it done. But once I bought this 72 I knew they would be perfect for it

    Way to go. IMO you did pretty good getting that Olds for $12.5k in todays inflated market, and your wheels suit it.
