Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Dual quads on an HRE aftermarket manifold, Dynaflow automatic, wire wheel covers, blackwall tires, headers, dual exhausts, Autronic Eye, P S, P W, WonderBar radio, power bench seat. Sound but uninsipired paint and interior. Tidy but aged engine compartment and underbody. A sound and unusual Olds with a great exhaust note. Don Kizziar Estate. No Reserve.

Market commentary

A period hot rod with some unusual attributes as well as driver assists like P S and P B that make it particularly adaptable for fair weather touring, this Olds could have brought more on account of its equipment, but that value is appropriately handicapped by its mediocre presentation, leaving the buyer with some upside potential to compensate for the time and effort it will absorb in reaching its potential.
