m-mman Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Wow, that’s good that there’s lots of patina. The last few times I bought a car I got it home and was disappointed because there wasn’t nearly as much patina as the seller described. ☹️ I don’t know which is worse, going through a new car and discovering that it’s missing critical parts, or that there just isn’t much patina. 🤔 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 What a description! "Lots of patina" = Lots of wear and tear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 1958 Oldsmobiles are one of my favorite cars but it looks like this one was driven hard and put away wet. It was a hard 65K miles and I wonder why someone would bother rebuilding the engine on such a rough rusty weathered base model sedan. And that is a nasty looking steering wheel. Rubber floor mats, no PB and maybe no PS either? Price is pretty optimistic IMO, might be better suited as a parts car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 55er Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Maybe that's the carpet and not rubber floor mats, whatever it is it needs replaced along with the kick panels, the rear parcel shelf and from the looks of the wrinkled seats the crumbling foam padding underneath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avgwarhawk Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Patina is overrated. But not as much as barn dust. That's the gold standard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 IF the engine IS freshly rebuilt, price is only a couple thousand off. Mileage may need another"1" . Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If that recently rebuilt engine was stored in the same root cellar as the rest of the car I'd be surprised if it still turned over. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
