"Transmission 4 speed manual on the floor , it is has the police package with sway bars , last. One sold in 2009 at BARRETT Jackson's , lot #64 , for 365,000"
Interesting usage of the word "last". And I am assuming someone misremembered the actual price and added a zero.
In any case here is a "last one" that sold in 2019 with selling price.
For any prospective buyers out there. That are not familiar with pricing, please do your homework.
There is not just a one source answer. You need multiple sources to formulate a decent opinion. Check ebay completed sales, but keep in mind did the car actual change hands with a new buyer. Check completed sales on multiple auction platforms. Word of mouth. And value placers.
I've been into the car game for 40 years, J.D. Power and Associates is rock solid in my honest opinion when it comes to muscle era Oldsmobile's. But that is still no guarantee you will see those prices in the real world...
Not really. The seller has Barrett Jackson syndrome.
Wait, an “all original” 64 F85 442 with gobs of handwritten documentation and a title issued in sept of 24 not to mention a Barrett Jackson reference and an ask of 85k warrants no discussions? Ha ha ha
Yes, it was available on the 1964 442s. The only cars not available with A/C were the 1968-69 W30s (all transmissions), the 1969 W32, the 1970-71 W30s with MT, and the 1972 W30s (all transmissions)
One of those cars that needs a close inspection if you gotta have it.
Who knows it could be a great candidate for a serious resto if its solid. This is or has been in the NE moisture for how many years?
If this was a Cali or desert SW dry car... as in zero pinch weld rot with a dusty frame, on a good day 30K.
It should have some history, B09 prominence paperwork, and documented mileage.
I do see the price is now 45K. And the price dropped fast. Maybe it was a typo??? Or he got slammed by emails, lol...
I see wheel well rot. That means, at min, partial quarters, drop offs, outer wells, probably trunk pan.
What does the frame, floors, doors, trunk lip, front dog legs look like up close?
Money shots would put most of this speculation at ease.
Isn't that BJ car the notorious Faux-Four-Two with the Oct 1963 build date and the unsubstantiated "pilot car" fairy tale?
Yes it is.

Joe I don't think the 66 and 67 W-30s could be had with air either. I believe some W-31s were that way, too, but they weren't 442s. Interestingly, this makes the 68 H/O with A/C the only car that had to hop the compressor with the OAI hose.

You are correct, and a quick look at a 68 H/O with A/C shows why Olds never offered it on the ducted OAI cars. The hot air adapter under the RH snorkel got the hell beaten out of it by Demmer to clear. Of course, if your reason for buying a W-car was performance, why would you bog it down with heavy A/C?
Yeah, reminds me of the one in my garage. I deliberately bought an AC car, not so much for the AC, but because I would like to drive it to regional shows and loaf along with those 3.08s. That high compression 455, even with the 3.08 rear, is enough fun, especially with those old polyglas repros. But, like you say, it wasn't intended in GM design. The 67 I will track pack has AC, and it will have some of the same issues, but the hot air system was not there in 67 other than the CCCs.
