#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
A good, but old restoration that once was like new but isn't now. Good paint, chrome and interior. Engine compartment and chassis deserve better.
Market commentary
Sold for $82,500 at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas in 2008. That's exactly the hammer bid it brought here four years later. The '57 Olds is unusual and has attractive styling. The J-2 intake, even if it's not original, adds immense appeal to the car but this price should have been enough to buy the best one on the planet, which this is not.
