In the early 80's , I owned a 1973 Olds 98. Good car. However, they were downsized considerably for the 1977 model year.

Nope. No crumple zones, no airbags, crappy seatbelts, no intrusion protection in the doors, no collapsing steering column, and so on. If you get T-boned by a CRX you're toast.The other good thing is, if God forbid you're ever in a wreck, you win.
CRX?
What year? 1983 LOL. If a CRX t-boned this OldsmoBuick I would be more concerned about the CRX... A 2300 lb car tangles with a 4800 lb car?
Thats like
Ray 'Boom Boom' Mancini vs. Duk Koo Kim...
Most of it in the undercarriage and engine compartment where it won't do you any good.You are correct. nothing but 100% brittle like metal. About 4800 lbs though.Nope.

Wouldn't do the crx any good either.Nope. No crumple zones, no airbags, crappy seatbelts, no intrusion protection in the doors, no collapsing steering column, and so on. If you get T-boned by a CRX you're toast.The other good thing is, if God forbid you're ever in a wreck, you win.

I don't worry about accidents. This car won't be driven much. I'll sell it in about a year and find another. Hell I have 8 of them...lolMost of it in the undercarriage and engine compartment where it won't do you any good.You are correct. nothing but 100% brittle like metal. About 4800 lbs though.Nope.

What you are not counting on is the large interior space and the advantage of pure mass in a collision.Most of it in the undercarriage and engine compartment where it won't do you any good.You are correct. nothing but 100% brittle like metal.

Drivers seat has no wear, passenger like new. Engine is clean

Aren't you curious where it spent 42 years? Because it cannot have been on a lot. It would be covered in mildew and mouse turds and sunlight fading at the least. Not to mention what's happened to the fluids.
Pogo doesn't like it, so you should sell it.I can't hire a private investigator to find out. It is only a 3 k car. Ya can barely buy a pos for 3k...lolThis was from a lot. Tires are newer.

I hired a mechanic to inspect the car by the local car lot. He said the cars there are decent. He thoroughly inspected it and told me if I didn't buy it he would.
I've probably bought 20 cars in the last 10 yrs, a lot sight unseen. A local mechanic is paid to go over the car. The brake lines are original but in decent shape. Those will be replaced. Other than the headliner needs replaced, not much at all left. Little surface rust.
F it is 42 yrs old...lol
