Need Some Love: 1976 Oldsmobile Omega SX

I hate to be the guy who is always criticizing random folks on the internet and their ability to create good car advertisements…but I’m afraid today I have to be. First, the reason I’m featuring this car is because Mr Mark commented that we’ve featured two Nova clones, first the Buick Apollo and then a Pontiac Ventura…so the logical thing to do is to post an Olds Omega…but they are hard to find and this next one has one of the saddest listings I’ve seen on eBay in a while. At least the price isn’t bonkers, but it is difficult to understand the condition of the Omega, so maybe the price IS bonkers. Find this 1976 Oldsmobile Omega SX offered for $5,750 buy-it-now in Gettysburg, PA via eBay.

From the seller:
I purchased this car from a friend with a collision shop, he told me this was a special car and I got it from him and have held onto it. The car had damage on the drivers door and rear quarter. . I am putting a new gas tank and sending unit in it and we are fixing the damage. I have a new Napa battery in it. I have driven the car at the Carlisle fair grounds. The wipers and lights are working. This is a NC car and a solid body. The interior is original. The windshield is cracked. I may keep putting money into the car but new pics will appear soon as I did a 30 day listing. I am looking for the stainless wheel lip trim on the driver side rear. Thanks.
Also have factory BUILD SHEET This is a BUICK 350 8cyl. . This is SX model with ORIGINAL ONE OWNER title.
May deliver

woot!
crack pipe price, however
woot indeed!! And yes, this asking price is nuts…but it is the only Oldsmega for sale that I could find…anywhere.
“I have driven the car at the Carlisle fair grounds.”
Well, that certainly suggests a lot of questions otherwise unaddressed. Did he buy it at Carlisle? Unsuccessfully try to sell it there? Trailer it there and just drive it around?
