Thinking about looking at a 1967 convertible 98. Has original 454 in it. Should I?
Should I?

That is one thing I like about this forum. The diverse knowledge beyond Mopar and no ridicule over non Mopar interests.

If it does have a 454 in it, that will devalue the car in the long term , non originality.

Surely this is sexier? Hint hint

Probably just a misprint. 425 for an original 67 engine.

Yeah, could be a misprint or someone could have replaced the 425 with a 455 Olds or even a 454 Chevy.

You should have no problem to get rid of the 454 if it's an early LS5 or LS6 ;)

From what I just read, the super rocket is a 425 and the original engine should be a 425. I'm waiting to hear back from her to clarify this. Floors are rusted. Don't know about trunk. Body looks straight from the pics that I've seen. I was just thinking that if I could get this dirt cheap...might be fun to play with. If of course it really is original.

Your asking, so I'm telling. No.
I didn't think the 455 came out until the next year? Sure it might be fun if you could get past the looks. I guess you are asking for opinions, but I think they are ugly.

My favorite Oldsmobiles would be the early Futuramic design, the 59 model year and the 69 Cutlass/442s. 67 Full Size models not so much.

Finish what you got, first. Then "we'll see..."

I like those big boats too ...... But I think you should practice restraint & just walk away.
A rusty Olds is expensive to fix and not worth much when done...... Kinda sounds like some other type of car we know about.

I was hoping to get it for 300.00 but I understand.
