   Up for auction is my 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais Hurst Olds for a project car. In 79' 2,499 were made as a special option of the Cutlass, featuring the Oldsmobile 350, and a TH350 transmission with the Hurst Dual Gate shifter. Also exclusively equiped with special alloy wheels and two toned finish.

   This car has recently been brought back to life after having not been registered since 1989. It has numerous items which are in need of attention before I would consider it truely road worthy, and should be trailered if purchased. I have driven it and it is currently registered and insured, so i would be able to a reasonably close location for it to be picked up. This should be considered if you are looking for a complete restoration project. I will try to  list out as much as I am currently aware of, and if there are any questions you may have, please contact me and i will reply as soon as possible.

   I drove the car for a couple of weeks last fall before putting it away for the winter. In that period of time the motor ran fine and transmission shifted well. I had given it a full tune up upon aquisition. I also replaced the Brake master cylinder, front brake lines and hoses, calipers, pads and rotors. 

   Before parking for the winter a rear brake line sprung a leak, so a plug was placed in the proportioning block to seal it for the time being, but should of coarse be repaired before regular use, and it would be good to replace the rest of the rear brake components as well. A small fuel leak on the line to the fuel pump also developed while sitting, which a small section of ruber fuel line was spliced in to temporarily remedy, but a more thurough repair is recomended

   The interior will need a good bit of attention, new bucket seat covers, carpet, headliner, and a drivers side floor pan for certain. The sun roof does not currently seal well and will need work. the motor does not currently work. The drivers side door handle needs to be replaced or repaired, which seems to be readily available. Door panels seem to be in good shape. A good bit of the interior trim was removed to inspect the sunroof and follow wired but are in decent shape and usable.

   The body will be in need of repainting, and some trim pieces in need of replacement. The quarters, front fenders, doors and hood are all straight and aparently rot free. The rear bumper is rusted out and there is a decent bit of rust on the trunk lid. both of which id assume must be replaced.

   Tires will be needed, and any wear items that i have not mentioned replacing may likely be in need of replacement. To the extent of my knowledge, this car was not in use since the last regestration sticker, which expired in 1989, untill i recently regestered it in the late summer of 2012

   This has the potential to be a great when fixed up. Low NADA retail colecter car value for this car is just under 14K and a high value fully restored value of around 25K. I understand this car will need work before it would qualify for the low retail value, but given what it is, and i encourage you to verify with the vin that this is a numbers matching rare automobile, and being that it is a limited edition of a discontinued make, it is a safe bet that the value of this car will be on the climb.

   If you have any questions at all, please contact me. I would be more than happy to answer them in a timely fashion. Given that I did not use this vehicle for all that long of a time for regular use, there may be little things i am not aware, so if you have any concerns let me know and I will inspect to the best of my ability.

No warrenty is implied and this car is being sold as is

I will require a $500 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction, so please comunicate intents on pick up arrangements and any other details of the transfer of ownership before the auctions end.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding
