Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Body-off restored in 2020, including repaint in gorgeous Aegean Aqua, one of a handful of special order colors offered. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals Concours Gold winner last year. AACA National Winner in 2021, Junior and Senior First Place. Represented as matching numbers drivetrain. The show history speaks for itself. This is a fresh, gleaming, gorgeous, better than new W-30 with no excuses.
Market commentary
One of the more exceptional cars in Indy this year condition-wise, this car brought one of the most exceptional prices. It blew past Mecum’s presale estimate, which wasn’t exactly conservative, to a price that the seller probably hadn’t even considered. It would have been a huge price even for a W-30 convertible. Not exactly an astute buy, then, but at least the new owner has a very much show-worthy and show-winning Olds which curiously has no description posted on Mecum’s website.
