    THAT is a neat car! V8, 4 speed, Tach & gages, clean, clean, clean. May be a tad overpriced but when was the last time you saw one? I've learned in life that you ALWAYS start with the best example you can find. It will be cheaper in the long run. This one looks to be that example.

    It may be slightly over priced, but I agree find a better example. Looks to have a 305 Chevy and that would make it a Saginaw 4-speed. Better options than the Olds 260 with the BW T-50 five speed. I would drive it.

    I don't think I have ever seen a Post 74 Omega with the Gauge Package. Petty complete Tach, Oil Pressure, Volt Meter and Engine Temp, along with a clock. Well equipped for the era with, spoert steering wheel, A/C, power Brakes (I am assuming Power Steering also, cannot tell from the pic's and the lack of descripton) AM/FM Stereo, Sport Mirrors, drivers side remote, and Rally Rims.

    Even though it looks to me from the pictures it has a cheap plastic dash cover, and may have slip on covers over the seats. I could live with that, very rare and interesting car. That would perform and handle (if it has the handling package) like a Z-28 or T/A with a usable back seat, and the H/B even gives you storage space. Even though it would take away from the stiffness of the chassis. Great thing is all 2nd Gen F-body chassis and suspenson parts will fit it, stock and aftermarket.
