  • Investment Advice for the Oldsmobile Cognoscenti...

    To wit: If you are going to invest $24,000 in a 1972 Cutlass convertible and ever hope to sell it, spend the money so it will come back to you.

    Then, you won't have to offer it for $12,000 (and even that's a stretch) because your modifications eliminated 9 out of 10 people who would otherwise consider paying $24,000 for a gorgeous 1972 Cutlass convertible:

    We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

        Reminds me of lifted 4x4s in this area. Over the years I've bought several nice trucks with expensive lift kits and huge wheels. I buy 'em, pull the lifts and big wheels, and put on 4 stock wheels. I can buy them right because they were cobbled up with that junk, which hurts value, and put it back salable. Maybe this Olds is the same deal.

        Unless the workmanship us poor quality, the price is definitely right! Personally I like donks; I'd never build one but it would be fun to own one- for a while. It would freak people out in my little jerkwater town

          Well, Bob; there's your chance!
          This '72 is even in Ohio, although it is on Indianapolis Craigslist.

            Naw, mine has to be the car from which the name 'donk' originated, a 71-76 Impala.

            Locally there's an elderly couple that has a mint original 76 Impala in that bright green metallic. Now THAT'S the car that needs donking...
