Thought I would offer this car here first, many of you have seen this car in person and can validate its condition, make your offer before it goes on eBay

I've seen both of these cars in person. If a buyer wants the "Best" 71 convertible, this is the car to get. My multiple 71's will never be as good as this one.

Hello, for those of you who do not know me, I Love Oldsmobiles and have been an avid Olds Restorer / Collector for a very long time, I currently serve as President of the Minnesota Olds Club as well as serving as a Western Great Lakes Zone director for our beloved OCA.
I am approaching my retirement years and am trying to buy back a lake lot that I owned 13 years ago, because of some health issues I have decided to get an early start on planning my retirement with hopes of enjoying a few years of living on a lake.
I am selling my two red 442's for that sole reason, if you have seen these cars in person, please post a comment about them, if you have not seen them and are interested I can send a ton of pics.
Prices are negotiable as always, but keep in mind these cars are top shelf and I sure would love to see them go to a good Olds home, so if you are interested please make an offer as I need to move on this lakeshore lot and am highly motivated,
Thank you

I have lowered the price in hopes of attracting a buyer before this 1971 442 Convertible goes to Barrett-Jackson in January, I have already submitted everything required to Barrett-Jackson and am simply waiting on a lot number which will be right after thanksgiving.
So with the cost of transporting, consignment costs and an 8% commission I realize that I can offer this car at 100,000 or best offer, this is your last chance to save seller and buyer commissions , I can also possibly help with shipping the car reasonably.
This is a OCA Nationals Senior Preservation award winning car! Winning Best of Class and First place awards at the 2012, 2013 and 2015 OCA Nationals!

Bump for Dan. I have seen this car in person multiple times. This is an extremely well done restoration. I have restored 3 other cars to near this level before and have always been very impressed with the detail and quality of this restoration.
