Jeff,

I went & wasted my time.  The fellow who owned everything had very high
reserves on everything.  He wouldn't accept $2400 for a non running beat up
'66 Dodge Chargerw/a 318.

A '68 Toronado was bid to $275.  The body was nice & clean but weathered.
The inside was the same w/a few parts gone.  It had a fire under the hood
that wasn't too bad.  He didn't take that & told me that he had paid $1000
in Houston for it & had it transported there.  He wanted a  profit on that.

I was interested in a '63 Lincoln that was pretty good w/only a little rust.
Of course nothing ran.  They skipped that car & several others.  I left &
never did find out what happened there.

Even those who thought they had bought cars had to wait until later when the
land sold.  The buyer there had first option on all the cars.  If he didn't
want to pay for those, the successful bidders got the cars.

The cars were in parts car condition.  All the oldsmobiles except one 4 door
Cutlass were non-restorable.  All were poor & missing parts.  Most were
rusty.  It was a giant waste of time.

Doug,

Get an antique car appraiser to look at it & write an estimate of it's
worth.  There are several who have mucho power int he courts & w/insurance
companies.  We have one in my area.  He will get you a fair price & make it
stick w/out the long negotiations that you would have to make.

I can attest to the fact that a big-block dual-exhaust RH manifold will NOT
fit on a small-block, due to the interference between the exhaust manifold
and the oil filter mount. The driver's side should fit, however.

It's too bad you only have two days to take care of this.  The Olds
History Center should be able to provide the factory invoice on an '82
model.  The key codes are on the invoice and you could just get a set
cut from those codes.  But you'll never be able to get an invoice in two
days...

Subject: 'nother parts car?

Some might recall that I told of a ratty '83 H/O around town a while back, lost
track of it, always meant to leave a note, never saw it standing still. Today,
I found it! 2/3 of a White front end... spoiler gone now, but has wheels, LR
shifters, etc. I left a flier, see what happens. Ratty rusty smoked-in car,
used for hauling stuff around it looks like.

Subject: Electrical Upgrades.

I am looking to get a little more outta my poor Cutlass...  It ain't
bad, but it's doing the job, I just wanna do it in a quikcer manner...
Right now, I am looking for "bolt-on" performers.

I have the 87 Cutlass, with the 307 Lo-Po Motor with the following mods:

Accel 8.8 Spiral Core Wires
Bosch Platium Plugs
Accel Cap and Rotor kit (all done).

Is there any other mods that can be done to the electrical system and
still be streetable, and computer friendly?????

I've also got a K&N filter, are there any other "bolt-on" deals I can
try?

I am currently trying to sell a 59 Olds. I saw where a man was looking for
one but could not find him at the email address in the digest.  I you want
to look at mine see my site.  It has a new padded dash, newly rebuilt
heater/vent assy, a fresh transmission seal kit etc. It runs well but could
stand rings. Oh yes it is an 88 scenicoupe and is a 2bbl.  Cherry interior
, and all the chrome is there. thanks Clive.
