sheldon, i have found it, and boy is it GLORIOUS!
the one and only 1971 oldsmobile 98

now, that will be over by the time you have seen it, BUT there is a possibility that it won't have been sold!
if you really want it, you could email the guy and arrange everything.
it seriously would be a TOTALLY awesome car. heck, i have no desire in the world to purchase another vehicle of any sort (2 is enough!), and that thing is still tempting, lol. a 455! big-block V8 power! that motor is larger than the one in our WINNEBAGO! needless to say, unless that has very favorable gearing, i wouldn't expect more that 20 MPG at most with tuning. but, with 350 HP and likely over 450 lb-ft of torque, you would totally embarass most modern sports cars you encounter on the street. and with minor mods you could probably jack that up to 400 hp. totally awesome. and, it has the old 70's c-body "boat" coolness factor. a grossly oversized 4 door sedan with all of the luxuries of the 1970s! and, you do (along with keenan) have the great ability to boast that you have the LARGEST passenger car body style that GM has EVER produced.
the parts in that are worth a TON. don't believe me? go look up a 455 or a TH-400 (the tranny) on eBay. the TH-400 is a pretty bulletproof transmission that essentially was the staple of super-duty trucks (and other large towing vehicles) of the era, so you could honestly probably tow a trailer with that, provided you get a trailer hitch installed. remember, it does have a larger and more powerful motor than our 16,000 lb. winnebago.
man, i could ramble forever of that thing's awesomeness, but you have seen it with your own eyes, so you probably can grasp the awesomeness yourself. what a beast! that tank is a diamond in the rough, my friend. HUGE, powerful, and most definitely stylish!
totally awesome!
