    That is a rare find, only 15,000 miles and it looks like it!

    Man, someone in that dealer must be an Olds guy! How many nice Oldsy's did this guy have so far? If so, my dad would have liked him...BUT my dad wouldn't have liked this Olds - too small. He liked his Oldses that ended with an "8"!

    This car has a 2003 PA inspection sticker on it. Darn nice for a PA car. Just like my 69 Merc - always garaged. Mine has a '99 PA sticker on it. Same rules apply - my sticker surprises people that it spent its first 30+ years up there.

    It does appear authentically original. But, then, who would really want it? :disagree:

    I agree, but it is original and low miles. But those odd fire V6's can be a pain to live with, and the lack of A/C is a downside for comfortable cruising, but an upside for performance. The car will not be a quick performer, but they are quicker than most people would think if they have a decent rear gear ratio, but most have something like a 2.78 rear gear. They get decent gas mileage cruising but sloooow to get to speed. Nice car, I don't think its worth much more than its was bid to.

    Really, probably a 2.56 gear, at least that is what mine has. They will, by observation, keep up with a 1975 Chevy Laguna S-3 400 4bbl Turbo 400, at least to 110 mph, so not too shabby.
