    Absolutely stunning car complete with typical 70's autumn tones. These box "Olds" presented a little better in the looks department than the first clamshell "Olds" did imho.

    Ok, maybe it is factory. I've never seen velour before in a 1977-79 Custom Cruiser.

    Shiney as a new penny! Looks nice! I agree the seats do look a little out of place. Odd color choice from the factory. Very nice though.

    Does anyone know what the little box with a knob under the dash (left side) is?

    That's a nice looking Olds. The seats look too dark for the rest of the interior.

    It's a trailer brake controller.

    Someone needs to send him a note and tell him the car is a CUSTOM Cruiser, not a Cutlass Cruiser. So I did. We'll see if he changes it or acknowledges the error in the description.

    I think the seating surfaces of the upholstery have been re-done in dark brown instead of tan. I don't recall seeing any two-tone upholstery in any of these.

    Reserve now met at $5049. Seems like a great Olds for the price.

    I sold a 69 GTO Like that once, I had what I thought was a Pie in the Sky BIN price of 8500.00 It sold for over $12,000. I do not know why the 1st person to enter a bid above my BIN price didn't just hit the BIN Button!!!!! On my auction when it went above the BIN price, that option just disappeared. I had to fight with Ebay to get my BIN charge credited back to me. It took over 6 months to be credited. They were double dipping in my opinion, they got the fees on the greater amount and wanted to keep the BIN listing fee!
