    Found this Olds 98 in the local salvage yard located east of Melrose Minnesota.
    Glass is keeping the moisture out and the 303 is still under the hood.
    This car should be saved but I don't have the funds, I would volunteer my time and effort to help any potential buyer retrieve it.
    A nice Chevy next to it also.

    Two door cars are over rated, this car looks as good as any two door car of that era.

    Better if it was a more door hardtop though. If one takes on a more door sedan you better love it

    Well then, here is a 2 door 1960 Buick Lesabre that they have also, this is a great body style, probably the Zenith of Buick styling.

  9. I like 4-door cars, easy to get in and out of with passengers. I had an OT '66 Caprice 4-door, what a sleeper that was...

    They said not much more than scrap value for the vehicles.
    They are willing to negotiate.

    Nothing major caught my eye inside, I would have to take a closer look to be sure.
    I'm planning on going back after the snow melts and before the wood ticks arrive.
    The rear trunk area and fenders will need some new metal, a good body guy can fix this car.
    It is missing the front bench seat and rear bumper but the Nailhead is still in it (I think its a 364 two barrel).

    If I were closer and didn't already have 5 rescues now, I would certainly take a look-see.
