New toy for 2012

Not an Olds but very cool car. This guy came by my store with this SS396
and wanted to sell it. It's fresh off frame resto. It has 600+ 496 BBC. 5SPEED RICHMOND 4.56 12 BOLT VINTAGE AIR. Just a beautiful car. So i had to have it. Sure will make a great companion for my 67 442. Now all I
HAVE TO DO IS CONVINCE MY WIFE I MADE A GOOD CHOICE. Will sent pics soon.

Personal preference. . .if nothing under the hood actually came from Chevy, the car is not a restored car but a rod (imho).

No price listed so it's impossible to tell what kind of deal it was.

Hell, that's a good question because I would have assumed it was.
But apparently some are and some aren't.....
