I am only relisting MY car as a help to those that may be looking at the "other" lime green 442 convertible listed on ebay currently. The so called dealer representing it has used all of my information in their ad. After this was brought to my attention (by those who know this car) and after 2 weeks of discussions with ebay I am forced to put my ad up to prove that their decription is indeed false. I will let the viewing audience be the judge of what accolades go with what car. THEIR car has not been judged by the venues mine has, it was not born in Nashville TN , I know the original owner and have pictures of he and I standing with this car.A close look at THEIR car will tell a knowledgable car guy what he is looking at right away with regard to the quality of the restoration. Ebay has been absolutely no help and if you were to inquire about the "OTHER" car listed...the voicemail if full, how convenient. Its really too bad when one has to repeatedly state their case, send proof, pictures and it goes absolutely no where. Secondly, I'd like to say that I have been on ebay for well over 10 years and have taken pride to retain a 100% feedback rating. When it comes to advertising a car, I take great time and pride to explain or depict a cars condition through pictures. I never understood how one can think of selling or buying a car without the proper presentation. I also do this as I am a collector myself and like you I ask a ton of questions whether the car be worth $1000 or $100,000. If one were to just take the time to show the car in its entirety then a lot of questions would be answered with that alone. with that being said, I encourage you to take the time to let the 200+ pictures of this beautifully restored 1971 Oldsmobile 442 convertible upload. HISTORY This car was a demonstrator for awhile at Hippodrome Olds in Nashville TN. It was purchased In September of 1971 by Lloyd Esmon. He had been looking for one and a few days after visiting the dealership his salesman had called to say they had one to sell. Don Deathridge sold the car to him for $4448.59 after fees and discount. (This is one of 1096 convertibles made this year). Lloyd drove the car until the late 70's and took good car of it and recorded all of its oil- gas fill ups along with the gallons used and the price of gas at the time. I have those little record books. He then sold it to a cousin in Il. Vern in IL had the car painted once in the 80's in a shade of green not quite like the lime green should have been. Later Lloyds son Dwight purchased the car and it moved to FL. It had been cared for there until about 2005 and it was then that it went up for sale for the first time out of the family. I purchased it from the 4th owner and he had made some motor improvements but always keeping the original parts and original motor-trans intact. MY OWNERSHIPI have owned the car since 2008. It was a car show, cruise night car for us. It was then in late 2011 I decided to go all in and give it a proper restoration. I am a stickler for quality and correctness and almost all the work was done by myself. It received a full frame off restoration spanning 11 months and nearly 800 hours. (keep in mind this was a rust free car). RESTORATION During the restoration, I bag and tag everything. The factory grabbed nuts and bolts at random and this car retains all of them. I also write down where they all go as the order they were installed. Several fastener companies were used and I made sure I left all the different marked bolt heads as they were and they all were restored or replated in their correct finishes. As parts were taken off I documented the various inspection marks and colorings on different parts. All cars were different and humans made those marks. Every car I restore turns out a little different because of this. Remember there were many different plants and shifts of people doing the build process so not all had the same marks. The car was spared of no expense and detail. when working on such a pristine car and have no rust pits to fix, the end result is stunning. The frame is pit free, as is suspension components. The floors still have the runs and body caulk that was applied originally. On a car this nice I am able to keep all those things that are only correct one time in its life. The car is arrow straight, the paint is far nicer than they were then, the trunk has the proper trunk spatter as the Lansing plant applied. All the sheetmetal on the car is original to it. I did add the hood though. I found years ago a hood that had been a take off of a 1971 cutlass in 1979. It was the most pristine original paint hood I have ever seen and I saved it for this car. Original perfect hoods are second to none and this one I carefully restored to be as close to authentic when I restored it. There were no stress cracks anywhere and I left all the areas white that you can see from the bottom white. These top skins were white and then bonded to the painted black bottoms. I duplicated the dates and inspection marks along with the proper assembly line overspray technique. A close look at the photos show that no part or fastener was left alone. DRIVETRAIN The block, trans and rear (now a 3:42 posi) are original to the car. Prior to me owning it, the 4th owner decided to spruce it up a bit. The car runs so incredible and quick, I made a tough decision to leave all that hard work and $$$ alone. While stock appearing the car is using a set of edelbrock heads, intake and carb. It has a bunch of mondello receipts to back it up. It idles healthy, starts right up and it has enough vacuum for power brakes. It is not radical at all but definitely healthier than a normal '71 455. I do have the original heads and intake but the carb is gone.Transmission was gone through, resealed and factory markings were re applied as they were found. OPTIONS Car was not ordered with many options. On the window sticker it shows, auto transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, tinted window, am radio, door guards, deluxe belts with rear retainers front mats and the light group. The car has all of the 5 original SS3 wheels. Car also has a seldom seen front air deflector re-inforcement. It can be seen in the photos and is rumored to be only on 71 4 speed cars. I have spoke with the past owners and even Lloyd had said "why would I add that as I don't even know what it is?" A NOS heater control valve was used as it is a 1971 only style with the vacuum diaphragm on it, and although it is not an option it was added to make the car even more correct. The am radio was replaced with a rebuilt am fm unit with modern internals and a Sirius radio located in the ash tray area if one decided to start using the car as intended. INTERIOR All the interior was in good shape but with the level I was going for with this car I turned to Legendary for it all. I kept all the original covers and door panels. I was able to keep the original carpet. Nothing fits better than the original and it also proves how the car was cared for. Some pictures show how nice the floors are with all the lime green paint on them and again I left them as is because there was no restoration needed to cover anything. BODY As stated before all the sheetmetal is original to the car and I added a few pictures of the bare floor areas to show indeed how nice they are. The trunk and floor pans did not have as much as a pin hole. Be confident knowing that this is not one of those cars that needed wheel tubs, quarters, donor doors and fenders and a full trunk pan. Actually one lower fender needed a patch about the size of a half dollar. GLASSEvery piece of glass is original. The windshield has a couple small chips but to me I'd rather say that it has never been out. BUMPERS Show chrome and replated bumper guards with new rub strips. All hardware,rear light housing guards, front marker lights and wiring was plated and cleaned to perfection. TOP New top, pad and well liner. Legendary boot goes with and the top has yet to be down due to the car's show circuit condition. Top will move up and down as it should if one decides to do so. TRIM All trim is original and has been polished to a high standard. Some original screws had to be sourced due to age but the proper clear plastic washers were used when necessary like the originals. TRUNK During the restoration I had found a way to duplicate as close as possible the way the original spatter was applied. It was originally done quickly with mediocre coverage at best and each car was different. each plant seemed to have either a different layout texture, color or pattern. Assembly line guys I've talked to over the years said that there were different vendors for these paints and they just used whatever they had. All lansing cars I have found have this style of big spot patterning and is an often missed step in a nice restoration. PAPERWORK Lloyd kept good records. The car has the auto log books as previously mentioned. It has its original window sticker and dealer copy of that sticker. It has 2 buyers invoice bill of sales, 1 typed and 1 hand written. 2 broadcast sheets and one production code sheet along with various cancelled check receipts to the dealer. No lansing build cars ever got a big build sheet, that is why other supporting documents are so important to have. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Since being finished I took it down to Nashville before a car show to show the original owner, his wife, his son Dwight and his wife. They were so thrilled to see it and Lloyd said it sure looks a lot better than he ever remembered. His son flew in from FL to see it an couldn't believe it was the same car. It sure made my day and I am happy when I can still talk to original owners of cars I own. The days of this happening are shrinking and to me the story that goes with the car is priceless .It then scored a 989-1000 at the 2013 Oldsmobile Nationals. Later that fall it scored a gold award (992-1000) at MCACN (musclecar and corvette nationals). In august 2014 it entered it's first AACA (antique auto club of America) and took a 1st junior award. Out of all the oldsmobile winners in 2014 It was selected for the prestigious REO OLDS award (only one olds or gmc is awarded this each year). I flew to the AACA annual meet this past February to accept the award and it was quite the honor for the car and myself. The car could go on to win an AACA senior if so desired and I can transfer the junior award to the new owner if they intend to take it further.THE FUTURE I have wrestled with the decision of furthering the car's show career, starting to drive it more (has only driven about 15 miles since completed) charge the A/C and use it as it should, or sell. I have decided to let a new caretaker come along and enjoy it. A decision like this is tough when you put your own blood sweat and tears into a project. I did the car this way because I could, and it helped to have a decent amount of knowledge of 442's to work with to help along the way. I also feel that the nicer the car to start, the better it will turn out and stay. I have been to the major auction houses and have seen the cars that are bought and sold. I would rather see the car go to a true appreciative car collector that knows what it takes to do a car this way. I encourage anyone to come and look for themselves as this car truly fits the phrase "pictures don't do it justice" Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at anytime for any reason.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Before we begin, I want you to know that like you, I'm a classic car and truck fanatic. I've also been an eBayer since February, 1998 and take pride in only receiving positive feedback over the last 17+ years. I've owned dozens of cars over the years and have made many sight unseen deals (many here on eBay) to buy or sell cars across the country. In addition, I strongly believe in the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." The Internet has allowed us in our hobby to search for cars nationwide and it's my hope to make you as comfortable as possible with this purchase. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to care for this Hurst Olds during the last year or so and I personally took all of the photographs and video. These survivor cars are raising eyebrows in our hobby, as more and more cars are receiving the vanilla restoration treatment. My restoration friends and I have watched these survivor cars very quietly increase in value to the point that they're rivaling restored cars. If you really want a unique car, purchase one that's never been restored. If you've owned a survivor, I think you'll agree that they drive better and feel better. There's something about an original survivor that is hard to describe unless you've owned one. Please sit back with your favorite beverage, enjoy the lengthy description, 7 video links, and 400+ photos of this incredibly special, true unrestored survivor, 90+ % original paint, Born-With Drivetrain, 1972 Hurst Olds. Background We're all car freaks and know the story. By 1972, the insurance companies were clamping down the seemingly out of control Muscle Car movement of the last 10 years. In addition, increasing environmental controls were forcing manufacturers to lower compression and add exhaust cleaning equipment to our cars. While Chevy, Ford, and Mopar waved their white flags and exited the Muscle Car era quite quickly, Oldsmobile and Pontiac still hung on and figured out ways how to make their cars go fast. The secret (in my humble opinion) lied in still producing gobs of torque and allowing these big blocks to breath. Even with lower compression, these Oldsmobile 455's lived up to their "Rocket" namesake and moved these warmed-up H/O cars down the road in a hurry. This H/O wears its Hurst badging with pride and is a testament to Oldsmobile's dedication to finding ways to sell exciting cars as the era was winding down. The 1972 Hurst Olds is a necessary car in a collection, as it accurately documents Oldsmobile's refusal to leave the Muscle Car era without a fight. I purchased this '72 Hurst Olds last fall from the 2nd owner in Indiana. He purchased the car from the original owner in Indianapolis during winter, 2014. That's right, this was just a 1 owner car for its first 42 years. The registration records show that the car was titled through the family business, and appeared to be a daily driver for its first year or so (looking at registration mileage each year). Since about 1974, registration records show that this H/O saw anywhere from several hundred to about a thousand miles each summer. That's it. Otherwise, it's been garaged, out of the elements and just given regular exercise. Please take a peek at the vintage photos of the car, with the Indy 500 graphics still on the doors. In addition, please don't forget to take a look at nearly EVERY registration receipt since 1972, the original voided title, and the dealer paperwork that goes with this car. Documentation with a car like this really helps tell this special car's story and I'm excited to have some neat paperwork to document the H/O's history, authenticity, and mileage. Overview Without a doubt, the best part about caring for this car has been driving it. I took a chance last fall and drove the car about 250 miles back to Wisconsin after purchasing it in Indiana. I was incredibly impressed by the way the car drove and ran! After a winter hibernation in heated storage, I was excited to get this well documented Hurst Olds back on the road. The attention this car gets on the street and at local shows is pretty amazing. Be prepared to chat with people! With "Pace Cars" as its theme this year, I reunited the H/O with some of its Indy Pace Car brothers at the Iola car show in northern Wisconsin. Prior to making the nearly 400 mile round trip, I had new AC plugs, date coded wires, points, condenser, cap, and rotor installed. I saved all of the replaced parts and was shocked to see green striped AC plugs and the ORIGINAL wires still on the car! Even the cap, rotor, and points were all AC Delco components. During the round trip, I averaged about 13.6 mpg while travelling at 68-72 mph, a testament to the health of the driveline and overall health of this terrific piece of history. If you're excited about these survivor Muscle Cars, use the previous story about driving to Iola to fuel your fire. Survivors just seem to run and drive better. I can honestly say that something is lost when cars are restored. The doors never close the same, the steering is never the same, and they certainly don't own the road like an original car does. Options What makes this car so special is its unique list of options. Of course, it's a Hurst Olds. But, did you know that 1972 saw the lowest production of Hurst Olds cars? Just 279 hardtop H/O cars were made, which is why you see so few of these today. Even including the convertibles and sunroof cars, just 629 Hurst Olds cars were made in '72. In addition to a warmed-up 455 rocket V8, the H/O package included the F41 suspension package, OAI (Ram Air) fiberglass hood, bucket seats and console with famed Hurst Dual Gate shifter , Rally Pack gauges (tach is inaccurate, clock stopped, but all others operate properly), GM's indestructible 400 TH transmission, partial vinyl top, and incredibly cool looking reflective stripe package. In addition, this car has some other unique options to set it apart from the others. The factory cruise control still operates, the AM pushbutton radio works like it should and holds stations, the factory Air Conditioning blows ice cold!, and the lighting package offers additional interior lighting. Finally, this car appears to have the nearly impossible to find Hurst installed alarm system. The alarm currently does not work, but I have the key. I think this would be a neat project to work on, as it would be really cool to have the alarm operate properly again! Paperwork and Numbers This Hurst Olds is well documented and adds considerably to its pedigree. Included with the sale are some vintage photos of the car back in the 70s. In addition, a broadcast sheet was found in the car and it backs up the car's heritage as a true H/O and documents its other options. The original voided title is included, as well as the Protect-o-Plate, and other dealer paperwork. Incredibly, the original owner managed to save nearly every registration receipt from 1972-2014. These receipts help document the car's original mileage and shows how well cared-for this car is. In addition, I've provided photos of the engine pad, transmission tag, and rear end code to document the "Big Three Driveline Items" as born with this car. I was unable to find a VIN derivative on the transmission case, but it's the correct OD tranny and its production date is correct for this car's April completion date. I have no doubt it's the born-with transmission. The rear is the correct SR coded 3.23 axle ratio and again is dated consistently with this car's production date. I didn't go crazy documenting the starter, alternator, water pump, etc. I suspect by looking at it, that the water pump has been replaced. The alternator has a factory stamp on it and I'm guessing that it's original to the car. I did decode the Quadrajet, however, and it checks out as correct for this car and within its build date. Now, here's an interesting story: while decoding the intake manifold, I learned that the non-W30 Hurst Olds cars should have an iron intake manifold. After decoding the aluminum intake that is installed on the car, it checks out as a December-later 1970 W30 intake! Now, we could speculate for days why the intake was swapped, as other go-fast goodies weren't swapped out on the car. It looks like it's been there forever, but it's a stretch to think that there was a leftover 1970 W30 intake left in April 1972. So, while not correct for the car, I've seen these intakes sell for $1,000+, so it's the best incorrect intake to have on the car! If you need me to get a number off another part, I will do the best I can to help. Mechanicals Set the choke, turn the key, and this car fires. That's it. As mentioned in the attached videos, this car isn't even too cold-blooded. It runs quite well even while warming up. As mentioned, the car was treated to some tune-up items before a recent road trip. The car brakes properly, the suspension is tight, the BF Goodrich tires look nearly new, the car stays cool, and drives incredibly straight down the road. The engine and transmission both leak a bit, as most of my old cars do. This car seems to drip less the more often it's driven, so maybe a few more miles will continue to help those gaskets swell. I haven't hesitated to take this car on longer drives, but please remember that it's still a 43 year old car. Please don't start driving it like your 2013 Tahoe. As far as what I think the car might need: as noted, the exhaust is ORIGINAL! The mufflers have started to leak a bit, but I would continue to drive the car as is until it's absolutely necessary to replace the exhaust. It's incredibly impressive to see those GM stamped mufflers and factory chrome trumpet tips out the back! Lastly, sometimes when passing, the car will hesitate a bit in the upper rpm range. It doesn't completely puke, but it sometimes sputters a bit. This is intermittent and as you saw, the car ran excellent under hard acceleration in the videos. But here and there, under acceleration, it'll hesitate. Maybe consider sending the carb to Sparky some upcoming winter? Maybe it's the accelerator pump? Otherwise, just drive it, as it hasn't bothered me. But, to make a long distance transaction as comfortable as possible, I want to mention everything I'm aware of. Exterior After having several restoration artists look the car over, we all believe that about 90% of the paint is original. There's a section on the driver's side rear quarter that appears to have been sprayed. This section is lacquer checking and extends from the middle of the wheel well to about the H/O decal. The passenger front fender also shows some blending on about half the panel and is also showing some lacquer checking. The photos also show the small spots of rust on the bottoms of the front fenders. I chose to leave both of the fenders as is, as I preferred to keep this car as untouched as possible. If a future owner would like to throw small patches in, it'd be pretty easy to do so. Please note the very minor bubbling under the vinyl top that is shown in the photos. Also, please note that the glass in this car is gorgeous, but the windshield took a stone at some point and has a chip...again, shown in the photos. Please note that although the trim is nice and the chrome shows well, this car has scratches and some dings. I tried to point out as much as I could in the photos, but it's an unrestored car, so some wear needs to be expected with these survivor cars. Finally, notice that this H/O has all 4 T3 headlights in it. If you're not impressed, you haven't tried to find the incredibly rare, 1972 only, T3 headlights. Unfortunately, one bulb burned out on the way home from Iola, so keep that in mind when purchasing. I'll start looking for a replacement... Interior The unrestored interior is as original as the exterior. The dash is gorgeous, as is the console!!! The driver's side seat shows just a little wear in the stitching, but otherwise the interior shows in nearly new condition. If the vehicle was ever smoked in, it's been many, many years, as there's no hint of cigarette smell in it. Just the classic GM interior smell. I'll let the photos talk on this one, but note the dynamite headliner, steering wheel, carpet, and door panels. Wow, wow, wow!! Engine Compartment & Undercarriage I really dig these unrestored old cars and trucks, so I resisted every temptation to start painting parts under the hood of this car. Other than some cleaning of the inner fenders and under the hood, I left the engine compartment as is. I did, however, succumb to my inner pressure, and touched up the frame rails on both sides. Scold me all you want, but this is the one thing on the car I felt I had to do. Both frame rails were full of chipping undercoating and looked super tacky. I carefully masked the pinch welds and needle scaled the frame rails between the tires. I wiped them down with prep-sol and sprayed them with Permatex rust killer. After drying overnight, two top coats of correct sheen black made the frame rails look nice again, like the rest of the car. Note the plethora of tags, marks, and paint dabs on the undercarriage. I had SEVERAL people at the Oldsmobile Nationals photographing the various markings on the car to reference for their own car. This is pretty interesting: note that there are areas of the floor boards where the undercoating has worn off or chipped. The exposed area shows gorgeous factory black paint and also shows how the factory overspray ended up on the floor boards. If time permits, the next owner may want to consider removing more of the undercoating to expose the untouched, preserved floors. Bottom Line If you've been on the prowl for a survivor Muscle Car to add to your collection, I think this is a dynamite choice. This '72 H/O is as honest as they get. It's well documented, has a born-with driveline, has been well-preserved, and drives fantastically well. Please call Jeff with any questions.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 First off, I'd like to say that I have been on Ebay for well over 10 years and have taken pride to retain a 100% feedback rating. When it comes to advertising a car, I take great time and pride to explain or depict a cars condition through pictures. I never understood how one can think of selling or buying a car without the proper presentation. I also do this because I am a collector myself and like most I ask a ton of questions no matter what the cars value. If one were to just take the time to show the car in its entirety then a lot of questions would be answered with that alone. With that being said, I encourage you to take the time to let the 200+ pictures of this beautifully restored 1971 Oldsmobile 442 convertible upload. HISTORY This car was a demonstrator for awhile at Hippodrome Olds in Nashville TN. It was purchased In September of 1971 by Lloyd Esmon and was built late (july 23rd 1971). He had been looking for one and a few days after visiting the dealership his salesman had called to say they had one to sell. Don Deathridge sold the car to him for $4448.59 after fees and discount. (This is one of 1096 convertibles made this year). Lloyd drove the car until the late 70's and took good car of it and recorded all of its oil- gas fill ups along with the gallons used and the price of gas at the time. I have those little record books. He then sold it to a cousin in Il. Vern while in IL had the car painted once in the 80's in a shade of green not quite like the code 43 lime green it should have been. It never saw a winter while in the Midwest. Later Lloyds son Dwight purchased the car and it moved to FL. It had been cared for there until about 2005, had the engine rebuilt and it was then that it went up for sale for the first time out of the family. I purchased it from the 4th owner and he had made some motor improvements but always keeping the original parts and original motor-trans intact. MY OWNERSHIP I have owned the car since 2008. It was a car show, cruise night car for us. It was then in late 2011 I decided to go all in and give it a proper restoration. I am a stickler for quality and correctness and almost all the work was done by myself. It received a full frame off restoration spanning 11 months and nearly 800 hours. (keep in mind this was a rust free car). It is pretty neat when I tell people that all 5 owners of this car including #1 are still with us. RESTORATION During the restoration, I bagged and tagged everything. The factory would grab nuts and bolts at random during the build process and this car retains all of them. I also write down where they all go as the order they were installed. Several fastener companies were used and I made sure I left all the different marked bolt heads as they were and they all were restored or replated in their correct finishes. As parts were taken off I documented the various inspection marks and colorings on different parts. All cars were different and humans made those marks. Every car I restore turns out a little different because of this. Remember there were many different plants and shifts of people doing the build process so not all had the same marks. The car was spared of no expense and detail. When working on such a pristine car and have no rust pits to fix, the end result is stunning. The frame is pit free, as is suspension components. The floors still have the runs and body caulk that was applied originally. On a car this nice I am able to keep all those things that are only correct one time in its life. I even made a batch of body seam sealer to match the peach colored body plug caulk. some cars had this color and others I have had used the light green variation. The car is arrow straight and was blocked out more times than I can recall. The Sherwin Williams base/clear paint is far nicer than they were then, the trunk has the proper trunk spatter as the Lansing plant applied. All the sheetmetal on the car is original to it. I used photos I take from original paint cars to document the proper side pinstripes and I was also able to measure off of the original stripes I un-earthed while stripping the body to bare metal. I did add the ram air hood though. I found years ago a hood that had been a take off of a 1971 cutlass in 1979. It was the most pristine original paint hood I have ever seen and I saved it for this car. Original perfect hoods are second to none and this one I carefully restored to be as close to authentic when I restored it. There were no stress cracks anywhere and I left all the areas white that you can see from the bottom white. These top skins were white and then bonded to the painted black bottoms. I duplicated the dates and inspection marks along with the proper assembly line overspray technique. A close look at the photos show that no part or fastener on this car was left alone. DRIVETRAIN The block, trans and rear (now a 3:42 posi) are original to the car. Prior to me owning it, the 4th owner decided to spruce it up a bit. The car runs so incredible and quick, I made a tough decision to leave all that hard work and $$$ alone. While stock appearing the car is using a set of edelbrock heads, intake and carb. It has a bunch of mondello receipts to back it up. It idles healthy, starts right up and it has enough vacuum for power brakes. It is not radical at all but definitely healthier than a normal '71 455. I do have the original heads and intake but the carb is gone. Due to the intake, I display the OAI plastic top at shows but need to remove it for driving. It is an inch higher and it causes some interference when the hood is closed. Transmission was gone through, resealed and factory markings were re applied as they were found. Mechanically speaking, the car doesn't need anything. OPTIONS Car was not ordered with many options. On the window sticker it shows, auto transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, tinted window, am radio, door guards, deluxe belts with rear retainers front mats and the light group. The car has all of the 5 original SS3 wheels. Car also has a seldom seen front air deflector re-inforcement. It can be seen in the photos and is rumored to be only on 71 4 speed cars. I have spoke with the past owners and even Lloyd had said "why would I add that as I don't even know what it is?" A NOS heater control valve was used as it is a 1971 only style with the vacuum diaphragm on it, and although it is not an option it was added to make the car even more correct. The am radio was replaced with a rebuilt am fm unit with modern internals and a Sirius radio located in the ash tray area if one decided to start using the car as intended. I still have a set of reproduction kick panels with the speakers built in if one would choose to used the radio. The A/C system was blowing ice cold prior to the restoration and was converted correctly to 134. It has not been charged since the car has not seen much road use. Rally pac and gauges were added by previous owner. INTERIOR All the interior was in good shape but with the level I was going for with this car I turned to Legendary for it all. I kept all the original covers and door panels. I was able to keep the original carpet. Nothing fits better than the original and it also proves how the car was cared for. Some pictures show how nice the floors are with all the lime green paint on them and again I left them as is because there was no restoration needed to cover anything. BODY As stated before all the sheetmetal is original to the car and I added a few pictures of the bare floor areas to show indeed how nice they are. The trunk and floor pans did not have as much as a pin hole. Be confident knowing that this is not one of those cars that needed wheel tubs, quarters, donor doors and fenders and a full trunk pan. Actually one lower fender needed a patch about the size of a half dollar. GLASS Every piece of glass is original. The windshield has a couple small chips but to me I'd rather say that it has never been out. all side glass is nice, date coded and line up as they should. BUMPERS Show chrome and replated bumper guards with new rub strips. All hardware,rear light housing guards, front marker lights and wiring was plated and cleaned to perfection. TOP New top, pad and well liner. Legendary boot goes with and the top has yet to be down due to the car's show circuit condition. Top will move up and down as it should if one decides to do so. TRIM All trim is original and has been polished to a high standard. Some original screws had to be sourced due to age but the proper clear plastic washers were used when necessary like the originals. TRUNK During the restoration I had found a way to duplicate as close as possible the way the original spatter was applied. It was originally done quickly with mediocre coverage at best and each car was different. Each plant seemed to have either a different layout texture, color or pattern. Assembly line guys I've talked to over the years said that there were different vendors for these paints and they just used whatever they had. All lansing cars I have found have this style of big spot patterning and is an often missed step in a nice restoration. Jack has a very nice mast with its correct plating intact and the other pieces were restored properly. PAPERWORK Lloyd kept good records. The car has the auto log books as previously mentioned. It has its original window sticker and dealer copy of that sticker. It has 2 buyers invoice bill of sales, 1 typed and 1 hand written. 2 broadcast sheets and one production code sheet along with various cancelled check receipts to the dealer. No lansing build cars ever got a big build sheet, that is why other supporting documents are so important to have. I see soo many cars advertised or at big auctions that have had options added or sit there with not an ounce of paperwork. ACCOMPLISHMENTS Since being finished I took it down to Nashville before a car show to show the original owner, his wife, his son Dwight and his wife. They were so thrilled to see it and Lloyd said it sure looks a lot better than he ever remembered. His son flew in from FL to see it an couldn't believe it was the same car he once owned. It sure made my day and I am happy when I can still talk to original owners of cars I own. The days of this happening are shrinking and to me the story that goes with the car is priceless . It then scored a 989-1000 at the 2013 Oldsmobile Nationals. Later that fall it scored a gold award (992-1000) at MCACN (musclecar and corvette nationals). In august 2014 it entered it's first AACA (antique auto club of America) and took a 1st junior award. Out of all the oldsmobile winners in 2014 It was selected for the prestigious REO OLDS award (only one olds or gmc is awarded this each year). I flew to the AACA annual meet this past February to accept the award and it was quite the honor for the car and myself. The car could go on to win an AACA senior if so desired and I can transfer the junior award to the new owner if they intend to take it further. I was recently asked if I wanted to show it in the Milwaukee masterpiece (a concours event this august) THE FUTURE I have wrestled with the decision of furthering the car's show career, starting to drive it more (has only driven about 15 miles since completed) charge the A/C and use it as it should, or sell. I have decided to let a new caretaker come along and enjoy it. A decision like this is tough when you put your own blood sweat and tears into a project. I did the car this way because I could, and it helped to have a decent amount of knowledge of 442's to work with and help along the way. I also feel that the nicer the car to start, the better it will turn out and stay. I have been to the major auction houses and have seen the cars that are bought and sold. It boggles my mind to see cars sold and the new owner may not know the seller or know anything about the car at all. I would rather see the car go to a true appreciative car collector that knows what it takes to do a car this way. I encourage anyone to come and look for themselves as this car truly fits the phrase "pictures don't do it justice" Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at anytime for any reason. I am in Milwaukee, located about 90 miles north of downtown Chicago and 30 miles from the IL border. I encourage any questions or inspections to be done prior to the auctions end. By now I would hope that one would get a good feel for the car and after looking at over 200 pictures that one can see I'm trying to be straight forward about the car. Thanks for viewing.
