No idea if this legit. It is in one of the most expensive parts of America so the rural pics? The GRM Lemons live stream on fb had me thinking about the 'Retreat from Moscow' rally which I realize I missed. Anyone do it? Anyhoo I thought I'd trawl CL with a $500 limit and found this. Looks absolutely awesome. Other than the front bumper I wouldn't do anything to the cosmetics. The ad does say 1993 for year so maybe fake.

Reminds me of the $400 Delta 88 I took on the 2009 BABE rally

The pics are accurate probably. Great Falls is full of large estates with a minimum lot size of like 10 acres (historically). My uncle lives in Clifton (a similar kind of place in the DC area) and used to have a yard full of old american iron like this. Probably just wants it off his property since this county now requires that any cars parked outdoors/visible must be registered.

Also, the (Mc)Mansions in the background area dead giveaway. Great Falls is about half "old horse/country estates" and half new-construction-rich-people-mansions...

I"m not 100% spot on my Olds full size history like Chevy, but I believe that is a 68.

Which should have a 455

In reply to TIGMOTORSPORTS: Yeah I kinda guessed the model number from the ad and a related word/image search. I am 100% on my Olds history it's at zero percent.

In reply to TIGMOTORSPORTS:

I'd say it's a '69.

Look at the top of the quarter panel, where the roof and window meet it. Smooth hump, on the '68.

Compared to the sharp peak, on the '69.

'70 has the same peak, but taillights are different than the one in the ad.

Pop had a '73 Delta 88. Got about 8mpg, with the 455, but I could take about 20 of my buddies along with me, when I learned to drive.
