Equipment
371/312hp J-2 engine with 3 deuces, column shift automatic, Fiesta spinner wheel covers, whitewalls, fender skirts, Continental kit, power steering, power brakes, radio, dash clock.
Condition
From the John Staluppi collection. Represented with a body-off restoration in 2017. Good but not exquisite or show quality paint and chrome. Touch up near the bottom right corner of the hood. Slightly uneven panel fit. Very clean underneath. Very good interior. A huge, flashy car that will grab attention and get thumbs up wherever it goes, but not quite the fresh new car it is represented as.
Market commentary
But sold for a fresh new car price, although not as expensive as the $110,000 it sold for at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale two years ago. The Oldsmobile J-2 intake is the stuff of legends and as these two results indicate can cause buyers to become unhinged from reality. Or, maybe not, and in fact these two generous prices may in fact reflect the prevalent, substantial, value difference between 4-barrel and J-2 intake cars.
