I saw that too. Starting bid of $200,000.00. For that kind of money it better be one of the two.

It apparently is the #3 replacement car, so it is one of the two surviving. The H/OCA's 69 advisor agrees that this is the car. I was about to email him, then I saw that $200k bid. I am thinking it's going to go for about 4.

Remember sexy natural women?

That is a real problem these days. A lot of women tip the scales at 200 lbs and think they can sit on parade boots and Corvette decks. Those three are probably 120 for the seated ladies, and Linda was probably a little more, like, 130, due to height and bust.

That and they aren't plastic. Funny world these days.

Here are some pic's of it in Lansing at the 2002 Meet...

Doesn't the auction write up say it's one of the 2 original cars? It claims it's the "east coast" car and that the "west coast" car was destroyed/replaced. So they're saying this is the only 'original'.
The rear stripe shape is different from that 2002 photo. The later picture looks to be more accurate. Maybe it had been repainted earlier in life.
Also, it is screaming for a reproduction set of Polyglas tires. The H/O's just don't look right without them.

Agreed. Also looks like it may have had an issue with the LR tire as it's mismatched to the Goodyear Eagle STs, which have been discontinued for some time now. Interesting that this mismatch appears in both the 2002 and the current pictures.

A car that’s one of two documented HO convertible should be a half million plus car if you compare it to Super Birds , Yenko, hemi challenger etc and what not. Olds don’t get the love these others do. Who knows, bidders are fickle, could go very big..

A number of years ago there was a guy that lived around the Red Oak TX area that cloned a 69 Hurst convert. The paint was spot on and the rest of the car looked to be an exact copy. Never got the name or where he lived. I saw the car on a trailer at a local tire store. This had to have been around 2010. Never saw it again.

You may see it soon.

That is what I was thinking.
