Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

425 365hp high compression Super Rocket, automatic, P S, P B, power bench seat, front seat armrest, WonderBar radio with reverb, power rear antenna, tilt telescope steering column, P W, dual remote spotlight mirrors, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls. A sweet, honest, original old Olds that has had a benign existence and is in remarkable, clean condition. Straight body, good chrome, good interior. Nose may have been repainted, but if so it was done very well. Oily engine needs a thorough detailing. Odometer shows 46,704 believable miles. This is a good old car with many enjoyable miles left in it.

Market commentary

Sold at RMs Boca Raton auction in 2005 for $16,799. Once in a while maybe a half dozen times at even a big sale like Mecum Indy a car shows up that is just honest. It doesnt pretend to be anything other than what it is. It hasnt been gussied up to look good under the auction block lights. Its just what it is, and what it is, is sound, solid and largely original. This is one of those cars. I would have brought it home in a heartbeat, even at $7,000 more than it brought in Boca. The new owner will be very happy with this Olds at this price.
