Trash Talk:71' SX Conv't or 71' 442 Conv't
#2
Like you I also have a '71 SX Convertible, and if you've ever looked at SX455.com you probably know they are the lowest production numbers for any SX. And as much as I like the appeal of the SX, I don't think it yet translates into the same resale value of a 442. So while the SX is a cool car, and to me the ultimate Olds sleeper; I think the edge in value will go to the 442 because more people are aware of them. Mechanically, the cars are the same minus the fiberglass hood and OAI set-up. The upside of that is we didn't spend as much to get into our cars as someone who bought a similar 442 convertible.

Look at Mopars. The hemi cars are out of reach of most enthusiasts and so are the 6-packs so now any big block is pulling good dollars and the small block A bodies have also seen good increases, ie 340 Dusters.
I think there's excellent investment potential in an SX. Give it a couple more years.
