THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BY OUR ORGANIZATION IN 1989 AT THE OWLS HEAD TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM IN MAINE AND RESTORED BY 1992. IT IS IN EXCELLENT DRIVING CONDITION AND IS PROBABLY CLASSED HIGHER THAN THE NADA "AVERAGE" VALUE BUT WE HAVE PRICED IT THAT WAY!!! OUR ORGANIZATION COLLECTS AND RESTORES PRE-1895 "HANDPUMPERS" OR "HANDTUBS" AND THIS CAR HAS BEEN EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKE AND A HEAVY DUTY HITCH TO TOW THOSE VEHICLES ON A TRAILER BEHIND THE CAR BUT IT HAS BEEN USED ONLY OCCASIONALLY IN THAT REGARD. THE CAR IS VERY SOLID WITH NO STRUCTURAL RUST AND "GOES LIKE HELL" WITH ITS ORIGINAL BIG BLOCK 4 BBL REBUILT ENGINE!!!! AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE, IT IS "COLLEGE TIME" FOR MY DAUGHTER AND YOU CAN GUESS HOW THAT IS!!!!! WHEN WE RESTORED THE CAR, WE PUT IN A NEW INTERIOR (AS SHOWN IN THE PICS) WITH THE PROPER WHITE VINYL MATERIAL, WE FOUND ALL THE MISSING CHROME AND RECHROMED WHAT WAS NEEDED, AND REPAINTED THE CAR TO ITS ORIGINAL BURGUNDY (MAROON) COLOR--- WEATHERSTRIPPING WAS UPDATED AS NEEDED (INCLUDING THE TOP CONVERTIBLE RUBBER LAST YEAR!!). THE CAR HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND DRIVEN EVERY YEAR AND HAS BEEN STORED EACH WINTER--- ALL ACCESSORIES WORK INCLUDING THE AM RADIO (WE LOOKED INTO CONVERTING IT TO FM BUT NEVER DID!!). LAST YEAR WE ALSO PURCHASED NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP PUMPS AND LINES AND HAD THEM INSTALLED SO THE TOP (WHICH WAS REPLACED IN THE LATE 1980'S) WORKS SUPER!! THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND ALL MECHANICAL PARTS ARE JUST FINE AND ORIGINAL-- THE ENGINE "PURRS" AND HAS NO NOISES LIKE LIFTERS (ACTUALLY PRETTY LOW MILAGE FOR ITS YEAR-- I BOUGHT IT IN 1989 AT 98K), THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY, DOESN'T LEAK, AND WE HAVE REPLACED THOSE 2 PAIN IN THE "BUTT" TRANSMISSION LEAKERS--- THE SHIFTER AND THE SPEEDOMETER SEALS!! THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY WITH ALL NEEDED SERVICE EACH YEAR, COULD BE DRIVEN TO YOUR HOME (UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE ACROSS AN OCEAN LOL), AND IS FAIRLY RARE AS THERE WERE VERY FEW (I THINK 12000 OR LESS) MANUFACTURED BY GM IN THE OLDSMOBILE DIVISION--- LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF MY INFO MAY BE INCORRECT OR YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS--- THIS IS A VERY NICE CAR!!!! THINGS TO BE NOTED-- 1) THE ENGINE AND COMPARTMENT ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPAINTED AND THE GOLD COLOR OF THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL AND PROPER 2) THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS ORIGINAL AND WAS A "DRIVER" BEFORE 1989 AND AS SUCH IT IS NOTED THAT THERE IS MINOR FRAME REPAIR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT THAT WAS PROPERLY REPAIRED BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR-- ALSO BOTH REAR FLOORPANS WERE REPLACED-- CAR IS SOLID WITH NO STUCTURAL ISSUES 4) RUG UNDER SEATS WAS REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL MATERIAL WHEN THE INTERIOR WAS DONE 5) TRUNK HAS NEW ORIGINAL VINYL AND THE JACK IS MISSING THE PROPER "BUMPER" ATTACHMENT--- THANK-YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS CAR--- PLEASE CALL VINCE AT 603-659-3333 OR EMAIL ME AT VJ5729@AOL.COM WITH ANY QUESTIONS!!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!
