Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Represented as matching numbers and 58,140 miles from new. Excellent paint and body with no notable flaws or imperfections. The brightwork has all been either replaced or restored. The engine is fully restored to a high level of detail and the underbody is immaculate. The interior has been completely redone. A beautifully restored W-30 with no details missed and highly unusual with the 2 door 'post' configuration and other rare options such as the W-27 rear end.
Market commentary
This result is paying a lot of money for a rare, but not particularly desirable, body style fitted with all the hot 4-4-2 stuff. The buyer of this Olds in 1970 knew what made a difference and so did the bidders here at Barrett-Jackson who appreciated the documentation, the equipment and the condition and paid serious but not unrealistic money for it.
