I appreciate the feedback, Frank.
You're right about the M20 being common, I just didn't know if it was common behind a 350 Olds. I've seen a zillion 3-speeds.
And you have the same point I was thinking today. Here's a car that's rare and desirable to a very select few people... probably the most desired by the guy who's selling it. He ordered it new, afterall.
My buddy knows a guy with the Chevy equivelant... it's a Chevelle SS 454 without the 454. 3:31 12 bolt, 4-speed, sway bars, stripes, buckets, gauges, etc... but it's a 350 so nobody cares. It's more rare than the big motor cars, but it only matters to someone with a real passion for oddballs and a museum.
I've talked to a couple Olds fanatics who may want the car, otherwise we'll probably do something cool with it next year. Maybe an Olds turbo... they did it in the early '60's with the Jetfires...
