Do you think the frame will be rotten from the way it's sunk down?

It even still has its v8 only emblems on the front fenders. Most east coast cars lost them long ago after the 2nd bondo & paint job.

Well it looks like it's got most if not all the trim. Bubble tops, nothing like 'em!

Short story time, Ray. My dad bought a new 1960 Olds Dynamic 88 2-door hardtop with the same bubble back window.

Across Canada we went, that first summer, to visit relatives in Victoria. My younger brother and I sat in the back seat of that car across Ontario, the Prairies and the Rockies, with the sun beating down on the back of our necks for the better part of every day for two weeks. Every few hundred miles, he stopped to take yet another roll of film.

Being the frugal type, my dad did not order A/C, but he did install a set of clear plastic seat covers.

I'll never forget how hot and miserable my brother and I were, and that was 49 years ago.

I miss the ol' guy though.

 

Even if the frame would be bad, it's gotta be close to that in value for someone with an incomplete project. Some of that trim must be a tough find.
