BIG - POWERFUL - SMOOTH best describes this verified 78, 471 original mile, well maintained, three owner Oldsmobile convertible.Very highly optioned - all mechanicals work as they should including the very cold air.Drives practically as new and needs nothing to go anywhere today.Newer tires - New top - Interior bordering on excellent - Chrome, average driver quality - Frame & floors solid - Body needs paint and rust repair on LR wheel well (see photo's).Great entry level collector car, buy & drive as is or paint - Macco or up to whatever you want to spend.I know I can't cover everything so feel free to ask any questions or set up an appointment to inspect.

70's cars are really coming into their own and are the cars being collected today due to their affordability and comfort - convertibles top the list, so buy now or pay more later.
I'm getting some questions about the paint so will try to clarify here rather than answer individually. I don't know if the car has been repainted, I don't think so but some overspray patterns (see pictures of door jams) suggest some partial painting has gone on. Any painting would have been done before Feb, 1977 because the prior owner had done no paint work and owned the car since Feb, 1977.
Bottom line - if you are OK with the car as is (about a 20 footer) drive it and enjoy. I don't think you can touch it up and buff it out with any degree of success if that's what's being asked. That said I feel the condition of the rest of the car far outweighs any of it's paint and minor body issues. If the car didn't need paint I certainly wouldn't be selling it for $6, 350
A no sale here will result in an AutaBuy listing at a higher price, so buy now or pay more in the future.
