    All original except the radio (and the new 455 engine). Top doesn't work, brakes are bad, sitting on 20's.

    Sounds like a 50K car to me!

    The guy should have at least gotten someone who speaks and writes english to do the ad thought!

    I have a 1969 oldsmoblie convertible 442 for sale the pic shows for itself on how it looks.
    everything is original except for the radio, other than that he great . she has a set of 20 on her. the top doesnt work.
    the breaks need to be bleed a lil. its a new motor so i would put about 15,000 mlies on it.

    Brian, I always liked those but I am not a convertible man like you are. In high school (1981) my girlfriend inherited a 71 cutlass from her grandma. It had 5,000 miles on it and still smelled new. Why doesn't stuff like that happen to me? That rocket 350 was fast. Within 12 months she got in four wrecks and had every body panel damaged, it was very sad. The car didn't last and niether did the girlfriend.

    Sadly, this fellow's spelling and grammer is on par with most of the Craigslist world. I've seen worse, that's for sure! I often wonder if the rest of the modern world is looking at these online ads and thinking, "Those American idiots don't know English as well as us Germans".

    Eric, I am always a Buick man first! Ha-ha.

    I know of a similarly sad A-body tale. My neighbor's brother was selling a '71 Stage 1 hardtop the next town over. This was 1980. Loaded. Nice. Stock.$850.00. My Father wouldn't co-sign so I had to pass. I tell a friend and his burn out buddy buys it. With in two months both quarter panels are caved in and the N-25 is bent. Never saw it again after that.:confused: :mad: :ball:

    My sixth grade English teacher must be turning over in her grave. The use of the English language, especially writing, is absolutely mortifying anymore.
