j_ryde_visuals's 1976 Oldsmobile Omega Seattle, WA Customized with Hurst Shift Knob, MTX Audio Speakers, MTX Audio Amplifier, Clarion Head Unit, JBL Tweeters, Alpine Subwoofers, MTX Audio Sub Enclosure, Centerline Wheels, Goodyear Tires - 7

A quick rundown from what I remember:
the car has been garaged in Idaho for the last 2 and a half years and I don't see it much anymore... That also explains why the car is on the dirty side on the photos. I've got a few resident spiders now.

Interior was in good shape when I bought it, but redid the seats for good measure. I had the body cleaned up and straightened out (door dings mainly) and then painted.

I'm just running the stock straight 6(bought it with 65K original miles, and now has 102K). The linkage for the 3-on-the-tree shifter broke a couple years back (don't speed shift those. It's a bad idea.) and I replaced it with a Hurst floor conversion kit. I installed a couple of gauges, Craigar wheels, and a stereo... And there you have it.

Some exterior shots

It made for a fun 1st car. Maybe I'll get it up to Seattle some day, but who knows, I may end up selling it.

A few interior-type shots. The redone seats, and the couple of 10s in the trunk.

A car this big and thick takes a lot of bass to really rock it, and while these subs are far from top of the line they do a nice job of things
