Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

394 315hp Rocket V8, automatic, wide white wall tires, Autronic eye, boot cover, P W, power antenna, spinner wheel covers. Impeccable two tone paint over perfect bodywork, fantastic chrome. Engine compartment appears as new with factory decals and replica in period Delco battery. There were two types of people admiring this car: those who said it was perfect, and liars.

Market commentary

This car has options galore and bodywork that deserves a credit somewhere for the craftsmen who did it. Everything is in place and impeccable. The entire car, in fact, was simply better than new. At this price, this Olds simply cannot be repeated.
