Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

371 312hp J2 engine, automatit, spinner wheel covers, P top. Good paint. Two owners, odometer shows 51,307 undocumented miles. Top dirty and fit is poor. Engine was once detailed, now is dusty and some corrosion showing. Rubber gaskets dry and splitting, dash vinyl splotchy and separating, gauges faded. Interior pot metal pitted, upholstery worn and threads unraveling. Nice paint holds this car together. Close inspection reveals many serious flaws, mostly in interior. A good engine detailing, interior restoration and new top would make all the difference.

Market commentary

The only things commending this Olds are the J2 engine (which commends it a LOT) and cosmetically good paint. It could have been sold for the amount bid, since the owner doesnt seem to want to invest the time, effort and money to clean it up for sale.
