Very cool find. There used to be a restored one that I would see at the Highland NY car cruise back in the early 2000s.
We appreciate you watching, it’s a treat to see these in restored condition.
I'm impressed with Ur spot on knowledge about these cars. I'm now a subscriber !!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Been a crazy week. You’re right the w-35 spoiler did become an option later on. But most certainly a standard feature in an early production car like the 01A
Nice Find! I've been courting an owner of another who will not sell as it sinks further into the earth. Consider doing a published grocery list of the rebuild being its an 01A.
Thanks for watching, stay on that one don’t lose track. Very cool this is an 01a, truth be told this project is not slated to begin anytime soon but glad we have it.
It deserves the arduous task of putting it back to its former showroom Glory..
Thanks for watching and your interest in production numbers is encouraging but, to clarify this an F85 rallye 350, 1 of 1020
Excellent car to Build .
Thanks for watching, we hope so!
Hey Stevo -- Been watching just not commenting so much on any of my Fav channels Lately. GM= Posi trac -- Ford = "Limited Slip" lol & Chrysler = I can't recall off-hand. LOL -- OooHhh Those Yellow Bumpers didn't fly too Well with us Lansing Olds boys back in the day. Took some getting use to & we had to be reminded about THE "Endero" Front ends of the Trans Ams & GTOs. lol It took us a while, but in a year or two We got over it. LOL Nice Find but be careful of That "rabbit hole" it can get pretty deep. lol I'll be following along on this one also. Good Luck with it My Friend.
Mr. Green! Good morning. We've missed you. Yes I needed to choose a term for the rear. Most viewers don't recognize "Anti-Spin" as the proper Olds title. I should have spent a sentence or two on that in this video. You're right.
And yes, Im of the opinion these are much more desirable than they were when new, much like those Mopar Wing Cars.
This is one is a place holder for now. Time to get back with Mr. Jones.
Thanks as always for watching,

Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️😎👀👍 Ok ! , did not see this coming WOW ! I have seen one in Queens in the showroom Olds . The second was on Long Island Olds Dust Off years ago ! Yes you guys are nuts but we are car guys we all are nuts to most people ! Congratulations on the fine, with that you guys got your work cut out for yourselves. Good luck going forward! 👍👍✏️📓🎓👍👍
Thanks Mr B, sorry for the delayed response. Been on the road. Cool find for sure. Mr jones is still the car on the front burner! Thanks for watching.
I own a Rallye. Currently undergoing resto here in NC. Uncle bought it new in Durham. Last month I was going through some papers and found the original sales receipt, protect-o-plate, owners manual, etc. This was a very cool and informative video. Proud to be part of a survivor’s group. I have been told there are less than a thousand left. Pretty rare!
Wow . That's a great story. Keep us posted on the progress. Are you restoring it or is it at a shop?
We'd love to learn more about it.
-steve
Great find and anxious to follow the resto on this gem!
Good morning. I (we) apologize for the delay in responding.
To be honest. This car, while in the queue, is not slated to begin anytime soon. Need to get back on task with Mr. Jones.
But please stay tuned.

@@theautorefinery, it's OK. At least she's been saved and is in good hands now! That's half the battle.
Nice, as I have written to you in the past, as a 17 y.o. at my uncles Olds dealership in Salem, Ohio I remember distinctly sitting in one such as this in the showroom. Yeah insurance companies were just starting to come down on anything hi-po. Hence all the power reductions as most were castrated after 1970!!!!! Oldsmobiles FE2 suspension, hd shocks, boxed rear lower control arms and rear sway bar were awesome, these cornered FLAT, not real sure why the other divisions didn't copy that sooner? Like your W-31/F-85 it certainly would have had that shit vinyl interior as well as no carpet, just a vinyl floor covering. These never gained all that much attention back then as even now, a lil reminiscent of the all the 1987 I'm gonna say it, wait, Buick Grand Nationals sitting around at fire sale prices, and by the look of what's going on currently they still haven't learned much of anything. It's still an Olds of a bygone era, and it will mean alot to us of that ilk.....
BTW what was the price.........? By the looks you are certainly qualified to replace that rear window frame at least the front dash looked decent. Great description of all the ins and outs, get closer to the mic.....best of luck....Dr'Olds be smilin'
Hey Ron thanks for watchin. It’s true these were noted to be poor sellers but still a cool piece of Oldsmobile engineering history. Sorry for the delayed response.
Dude, this is so cool! I love it
The whole week was BANANAS Bro. Just amazing!
That's one Hell of a Car. Just needed color options to be a success. Nice find.
Hi and Thank You so much for taking the time to watch.
I tend to agree that with only a few color options, that particular model may have sold much better. This brings up a very interesting topic.....
Special models with one paint scheme vs. those with a selection. Might be enough there for another video.
In the meantime, welcome aboard and please help spread the word.

Hope you find the w 25 hood and snorkeling ,cool car,worth a lot of money when finished.
Thanks! Keep your eyes out, let us know!
Cool car, but it is missing a ton of parts and there needs to be a ton of work to get it back into running condition. That hood is easily $3-4,000 by itself without counting all the other OAI stuff you will need which can set you back another $7-1,000. It will be a labor of love to get this car back on the road. Hopefully you guys did not pay too much for it.
Thanks for watching. You're right. A labor of love for sure.
But aren't they all?
We appreciate your interest in this one.
-steve
Gd find. Have to ask. What did the car go for?
Thanks for watching and for your interest. But, regrettably that’s information we choose not to share.
The earliest Rallye 350 I have documented is body number 3356XX.
got one of those 1970 cars. hard to find some of those odd ball parts. cant find t top seals anywhere. glad mine has a 4 speed and bucket seats.tho
Good morning. Thanks for watching. 1970 with T-Tops???
-steve
3277 is the sports coupe.. MANDATORY OPTIONS W- 45 W-25 l-74 N-34 D-35 W-35 fe2 and n10 . B-90 would be Chrome window frame moldings
Yes.
F-85 club coupe 1020 units, sports coupe 160 units, holiday coupe 2,367 units. Being that is that as one of 160 made that's the rarest of the rally 350$
Good morning Jerry. I appreciate your patience. Unfortunately, this is not one of the 160 Cutlass Cps. Its one of the 1020 F-85 Rallye 350's still cool. Just not the rarest.
Thanks for watching
-steve
I see the Fisher body tag it says 3277 you better do some research because you are wrong
3677 would be the Cutlass s sports coupe. 3687 would be the Cutlass s holiday.
Good morning Jerry. While I appreciate your interest, I'm not entirely sure where the confusion is from here.
You are correct when you state that the cowl tag reads
33277. It does.Did I say something else?
This makes the car an F-85 Club Coupe and NOT a Cutlass Sport Coupe (33677)
This car is one of the 1020 F-85 Club Coupes and NOT
one of the 160 Cutlass Sport Coupes(33677) and certainly NOT one of the 2367 Cutlass Holiday Coupes (33687)
What exactly did I misspeak about?
Thanks again for watching.
-steve
My information only comes from a 1970 order rally page. It is correct and you were wrong get a damn clue
should have offered other colors on that car besides that yellow.
Yeah maybe that would've helped move them off the dealers lots a bit more. An interesting experiment none the less.
-steve
the spoiler was an option
On the Rallye 350 package the rear spoiler was standard equipment.
nope @@72442conv
Both are correct. It's my understanding that at the start of production, the W-35 spoiler was standard with the W-45 rpo, but that sometime during the production run, it did in fact become an option. So there are some later Rallye 350's that would not necessarily have the spoiler. Maybe just the very first batch did. This one, 01A certainly did.
Thanks for watching and for paying such close attention.
I love it!!!!
-steve
@@theautorefinery I just started looking all over the internet as I have seen the original W45 dealer order form (order form for the Rallye 350) that states the W35 spoiler is mandatory. I found some posts of people saying that later in the year the spoiler was dropped as mandatory and you could option it, but I failed to find a single post of anyone stating that they have a documented car that came without a spoiler. Only found one photo of a car without a rear spoiler in barn finds website that was for sale on Craigslist in 2023. That is a car in need of restoration and who knows if it just lost the spoiler at some point in its lifetime. If at some point the spoiler did became optional, it seems that very few cars were made without it.
not crazy at all. She even has the correct 1970 air cleaner base !!!
Thanks but this is still crazy and we know it.
hahahah
its got the pillar betwerm windows..not the good one..hardtop no pillar...and what happened to mr. jones????
Many people think post cars are cool. Mr jones doin just fine. More to come. Stay tuned!
