No connection to the seller.. but looks very nice. Got that retro-70's style and color and an amazing 8,000 original miles!

That is sweet! That dash layout is priceless. Total American style. Oldsmobile and Buick from the 70's are awesome.

Reminds me of my dad's huge early 70's Chevy Impala.

He was darn proud of that beefy "dual exhaust".

I doubt who ever buys this car will care how much gas it burns, nor do I think it will be someone's daily driver.

Maybe I missed it but how much did he want for it?

Dang, if I had the space I would have kept my relative's 74? Impala. It looks just like it even the same color. It had 68,000 miles on it and was in pristine condition. I think it got 8mpg on a good day.

Wow, do I remember that car. When I was a teen my father had one just like this one with the exception that the body was that standard issue Olds dark green. As I recall the 455 generally got 9mpg and 13mpg (FEED ME) on a trip......the common 'outing' with that car was goint to the gas pump. My father wisely sold it just before I turn 16, however, my first car was a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 400 . My father did not let me keep that car as it was a large mass with more than plenty of power to try to put the rear axle in front of the front axle.

I don't believe book for that would even be close to $8K!

That's why cars are a labor of love, not an investment...
