I found this car in the summer of 2008 while visiting and old friend who has an Oldsmobile boneyard. I went home and couldn't get this car out of my head. I had previously owned a 61 Olds Starfire and was looking for a 1961 something. So I made a deal for 1500.00 for the car and an additional 500.00 for alot of spare parts including a 74 455/400 Turbo, bucket seats, console, fender, trim , springs, brake drums and what evere else I could think of. I picked up the car on 10-11-08. A really good friend of mine broke in his brand new Featherlite trailer to haul my car home from Redbluff Ca. After gettting the car home I cleaned for a week. It was full of mud dawber nests everywhere. I also noticed the engine turned over.After removing the intake manifold and vacuuming out all the nests, i bolted it back down using the same gasket. I got the points cleaned out, put a battery in it, poured some gas into the intake and got it to pop. So I knew it would probebly run. So I installed a 2 bl carb I had, some used cap and wires, changed the oil and filled the carb full of gas. It fired up and crap flew everywhere. So then I rigged up a gas can until I could get the tank and lines replaced, installed the radiator and the only new parts I spent money on were a carb gasket, 25' of 3/8" full lines and both belts for a cost of less than 80.00. I eventually got a clean tank installed with all new hoses. The car has a factory 3:08 Posi rearend. It also had dual spotlights and an antenna on the back which leads me to believe it had some kind of public service at one time. So I get the engine running really good and it starts better than my Roadrunner, I filled the brakes with fluid and they work. I'm currently ordering all the parts for a complete brake job. The transmission actually works great too. I removed the seats and wire wheeled the floor and used www.rustbullet.com on it with great results. The AM radio still works great also. So on 12-07-08, less than 2 months after pulling it out of the junkyard I drove it to it's first show. I made it there and back without any problem. The car is tired but drivable. It took about 2 weeks to get a title after submitting all the paperwork. I'm going to continue to tinker with it as time and money allows. I just got a set of fender skirts for it off ebay.
