On the plus side "When the top goes down the prices goes up"
On this minus side " It ain't origional"

Be sure to look closely for rust [and take a magnet] to detect bondo in the lower front fenders,and rear quarters, Check the trunk, floor pans and battery tray.

At the risk of starting a rock fight on this forum, IMHO the general market to the public is better for any convertible than a perfectly restored numbers matching car.

I did not say it was worth more, I said to the general public it is more desirable.

Before I need to duck, I will elaborate a might. MOST people don't know zippo about these cars and John Q and Suzzie Q Public just want a "classic" rag top to drive around occassionally.

When you are reading this board, often you are often gathering information for a very select group of people who REALLY know their stuff. [present company "self " exclude from the list]

Go ask 1000 people on the street the difference between a 68 and a 69 W-30 OAI set up and you will get looks like a deer staring into headlights. Post that question on this board and you will be amazed at the numbers of Oldsmobile Gurus who know exactly the difference.

I am a 69 type of guy so I will let others give you a guide as per $$$

Good luck
