    Not really... It's in a garage at the Mother's house, but no one is there (she passed away last month). I know the condo complex, and I drove through already, but there are no windows on the garages. Otherwise, I'd have been wandering in the night like a peeping Tom looking for my car!!!:rofl2:

    Just have to wait it out... Good things come to those who wait!!!:162:

    I FINALLY GOT IT!!!

    It's in GREAT condition!!!:bouncy: It needs a new battery and a right front fender, but otherwise it's a beauty!!! I'll post up more pics later in the week (it was getting dark when I got home), but I'm very excited. It had been sitting for 9 months (in a garage), so I had to jump it. It fired right up and purrs like a kitten. Brakes feel great, tranny shifts smooth, and the interior and exterior are really nice. She ran it into a tree on the front right side, so I'll need to hunt a new right fender. Otherwise, just a little cleaning, battery, and registration and I'll be cruising...

    I can't believe this was given to me!!! I'm SO blessed!!!:thumbs2:

    It came with a full tank of gas - that's worth a hundred right there!!!:lolup:

    I think I'm gonna keep it for a bit. I sure do LOVE your wagon!!! I'm gonna have to think about what I want to do with this thing now... I still like the 442 idea... But with a blue interior, I'm not sure it works so well...:idea:

    For this year, I'm just gonna be glad I got it and do some minor tinkering. But man - I'd love to lower it, add a roll pan, wheels, and something trick for the paint. Not too over the top - subtle like your car...:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

    Well, 442....to tell you the truth....if that car is as cherry as it looks in your dark pix....and if it were mine, I would leave it alone. Seriously....how many of those now extinct Olds wagons do you see in that kind of shape? There are things on the car that may make it a bit expensive to mod up. Like the grey bottom....which, by the way, I like along with those wheels. Clean it up and drive it awhile, fix anything that shows up and then you can make decisions. Me? I like to leave cherries pretty much alone.:D
