Market commentary
The crummy old repaint handicaps this 98 and was enough to turn off the bidders. Its hard to get past the need for new paint in a car like this that touts its originality, even to get one thats so lavishly appointed and optioned, but the bidders over allowed for the paint problems and missed the opportunity to buy a splendid Olds. At $65,000 or even $70,000 this would be a sweet, sweet car.
