In the days before the covid induced spike, I would think that is strong money for that car. Now, who knows?

Some decals are in the wrong places, engine paint is off, stripes appear a little too brown. 62.5 would be a good negotiating start for a numbers matching car. Total other powertrain, I think that, pre-rona, that's a 30-40k car, but I don't know what the current market is like.

 

Sure is dressed up to sell. Interesting wording in the ad to me. 62.5 seems high to me too. Non original drive train? But like it says in the ad. Same engine and transmission as a 442... Is there such a thing as a guess as to how many 72 Hurst Olds's came with all the side decals?
I agree on pre Covid pricing versus today's. Especially Oldsmobile's for some reason. You can buy two Stage One's for the price of a W-30 that is questionable these days. Crazy world.

-----The Ad's wording -----
Collector selling off some of the collection. This 1972 Hurst Olds convertible is one of the 130 built that year and is documented by the W45 on the cowl tag and very rare to find one for sale. Over the years I have owned this car I have replaced the seat covers, carpet and convertible top boot with Legendary auto interiors products as well as the gauge and console bezels. It has factory air conditioning that works as it should, AM/FM radio and a factory 8 track player, power options include steering, brakes, top and trunk. Other items done less than 1000 miles ago are a rebuilt front end, shocks and exhaust. Chrome is good, all glass is nice no cracks, convertible top is older but no rips or tears with glass back window. The motor and transmission are not original to the car but they do match each other from a 1971 442 built in Fremont California I bought it like this and do not know anything about what happened to the original drivetrain. The miles are original at 75,100 with Box A clean Arizona title in my name. Same body style as a 442 convertible with the same engine code. 455 with a TH400 transmission runs and drives excellent. $62,500.00

 

 

It is my car and the reason I didn’t post it here is because no buyers just whiners. As I have seen in other posts of cars for sale the discussion most of the time it leads to all the things wrong. I didn’t restore it so the Indy flags on the front fenders are off a little BUT there are no measurements as to placement of decals in any PIM. The reflective stripes are the correct shade and color again not installed perfectly but close enough. Price is what it is, might be high I will let the market decide that.

if anyone is really interested I will entertain offers otherwise move on.

 

Cool H/O. Good luck with the sale. Priced really well, too.

 

Thanks I thought so too

 

Heck I like the car, and I like the palatial estate too

 

Personally I think it will sell.

 

I hope it does. I've got no problem with prices increasing.

 

So being a pace car. I assume the factory geared it as a 2.73?

The seller disclosed that the car does not have the original drive train. No deception. Car looks really good. If only the seller had a '70 convertible for sale from the collection........

 

Nice car
good luck with the sale

 

As soon as I saw the first picture, I surmised that this is one of Fred's cars. Hell, I don't know the guy, but I've seen enough of his pictures to recognize his home and driveway. As much as some of you guys are on this forum, you really ought to be able to take a good guess as to who the owner is, and rather than step all over his ad, ask him questions.

 

I can appreciate the 1000 point show cars as much as the next guy. But in reality, they're a PITA. Forget about driving one of them. This is a car you could drive and enjoy. So the motor is the wrong color and the stripes are a bit off. No one but an Olds freak knows or cares. No mention was made of any rust issues and no photos of the under carriage. If the car is solid, runs like it should, and everything works, it would be a fun and unique driver.
