pics

 

sounds sweet

 

I'm heading over to my grandpa tomorrow I will have some detailed pics and more info by Monday .

 

Too bad he put it in the driveway and covered it with a tarp. Wonder if that is where the rust came from.Pictures will help.

 

Yes pic's.

 

more than 6 figures? doesnt that make it in the millions?

Good luck on the sale and cant wait to see pictures.

 

$999,999 = 6 figures

$1,000,000 = greater than 6 figures

You are correct Sicky. From some of the stuff posted on here recently, they are having a hard time exceeding 5 figures.

 

Actually, $9,999.99 is also six figures...


All I can say is good luck with that. Sorry, but intake, carb, air cleaner, hood scoop, D heads, mirrors, dual gate, OH trans together will probably bring $15K - $20K. The rest is a Cutlass with "plenty of rust". Proper welded sheet metal repair of rust is major dollars unless one is doing all the work one's self, in which case it's a significant chunk of your life.

 

You are correct... I'm an idiot

 

Here are some pics...very poor quality...I will have better pics very soon.
AGAIN to confirm this is a original owner car...

 

Ouch

 

Cool! Yes that's a rare car alright. Please get pictures of the rare items to help potential buyers see what's still there. Then also the rust issues and whatever other flaws may have developed over time. There's several members here who have 1969 Hurst Olds so ask questions if there's anything you have trouble identifying or need to know what rare items to photograph.

BTW the H.O started up today and sounds AWESOME...
I will upload more pics and Video soon

 

Picture of the interior

 

...As for Items of interest and #'s
....I'm all ears .
Any request of a specific area or casting # (within reach of course). Please let me know.
.

 

Man this thing is sad. I hate to see such a great car deteriorate to such condition. The one picture of the interior looked decent but I and only imagine what it looks like underneath. I think you $44k is about twice what your best offer is going to be. Maybe I am wrong.

 

To be straight forward this is not my car but my Grandpa's neighbor's.
I only put up what he was asking for...
His biggest point of emphasis was how original in well documented this car is. Well after all it is basicly a survivor car that is one of the most iconic muscle cars ever built.

 

I understand. Oftentimes people have an emotional attachment that gives them inflated ideas as to what something is worth. Good luck with the sale.

 

It would be a good idea to get close, well lit, well focused [use the macro setting (flower icon)] shots of

the D on the heads
The intake manifold "J" identifier, and PCV boss just aft of the thermostat housing
the carb number, left hand side, rear corner, vertical
The engine's VIN stamp and/or Engine Unit Number on the oil fill tube
the chrome oil fill cap - exact shape of the top, and the "S" on the rivet
The trans ID tag, RH side, midway fore-aft.
The air cleaner, and any inked on PN/ letter code it may have
Differential codes stamped into the axle tube
Water pump ID, RH outlet boss "O" probably, and 6-digit "40026_" probably next to the inlet hose.
The protecto-plate and/or broadcast sheet or any other factory pc of paper with numbers.

That would be a great start on the documentation.

If I had to pick just ONE thing- the intake "J" and PCV boss would be REALLY easy to do, and make a huge difference in indicating how stock it likely is.

 

Good luck with sale....it as you say extremely rare maybe only 400-500 left on the planet...44,000 is fair to someone

 

Yes, please don't be offended by the comments on sale price. No matter how rare or complete the car is if the body and or frame is rotten from rust that will bring down the value. But the owner can place the sale price at whatever he wants. If the market will not support that price, he can decide to keep the car or reduce the price until it sells. If you can help him provide accurate information out to the Oldsmobile community that will give him the greatest chance to sell it for the most money. Since many of us have an emotional attachment to these cars its painful to see something so special rot into the ground. Sadly, more that a few times we've seen this happen to rare old cars.

Is it just me, or are there potted plants on the rear package tray. Me thinks your grandpa's neighbor was using that Hurst as a high speed mobile greenhouse!. Good luck with the sale

 

I saw this post right after it was made. In reading it I thought that the car would be way way way overpriced but I chose to wait for pics. Now that the condition has been displayed in the pics all I can say is please tell grandpa's neighbour to lay off what ever he has been smoking. $44k...really?. Really?

This car will require an investment of well over $50k after purchase just to make it a strong number 2 car. The asking price is completely unrealistic.

 

i wonder were the scoop decals went and the side emblems went left and right fender look like they are gone ?

 

Nice to see 69's keep popping up from time to time.

Should probably say, "Once restored these 'ask' for 6 figures", haven't seen a 100,000+ one sold in a while, and as we all know we shouldn't confuse BJ/Meccum/etc auction prices with real world street prices. Honestly, it's a 20K range car. But whatever the case, good luck with the sale, hopefully you can get it to someone that will bring it back to life.

 

Once other quick item. This is certainly not intended to be an insult, I know you are just passing the info along which is great.

But before posting pics for sale elsewhere I'd take some others to be sure to remove any misc debris from the car including the plants on pkg tray, bucket in front seat, ladder leaning on the car, etc...

 

I too have my doubts this car brings what he is asking.
Perhaps he is negotiable. I will check with him

 

I saw that also, me thinks he may be smokin what he was growing. But he is entitled to ask whatever he wants. I for one would rather buy a truckload of cars for that price. Not interested in status symbols.

Although by the price of the Intake Manifolds of late... You can get a whole car.

 

I thought the same thing. haha

It is possible that in certain circles, the potted plants could add to the value of the car!

I think that with the advent of televised auctions such as Barret- Jackson, everybody thinks old muscle cars can be turned into gold. As example, listed on the local Craigslist is a 67 442. This poor car has no drive train,ratted out interior,and has rust holes in the body panels. They only want 7k firm.
Also getting resto parts is like swimming in shark filled waters,but I digress.its only money.

 

Exactly. Just go onto ebay Advanced Search, type in "442", and click on "completed auctions". Note how many do NOT sell. Unfortunately, many sellers think that an unrealistic asking price means that they car is worth that much also.

 

Spoke with him today and he is gonna lower it to $34k...so I guess it's a start.

 

34k is too high IMO. LOTSA work. Lots. More than you could imagine. What you don't see will probably scare you.

 

A "survivor" is an original car needing little or NO work.

An "unrestored" car is an old car needing a restoration to be presentable.

Is that the remnants of the original paint or has this H/O been repainted at some point?

 

I vote repaint. Original gold "rusts" to the white in situations like this. Hard to explain that, but basically the gold areas surface rust where the white won't as quickly. This gold looks like the clear is peeling on the trunk. And monitors/cameras may show shades different, but I'm betting that isn't the original gold as it usually fades badly, hardly ever getting darker.

 

Iwould tell gramps not to go a dime lower...a 69 H/O cant be fooled like many of these w-30's out there with bogus paperwork.... and gramps seems to have the real deal H/O so thats peace of mind for any buyer

 

The camera was low quality.
Honestly the camera did not do this H.O justice.
It's not as bad as it appears.
100% original ... Never repainted... Ever
I will take better pics soon .

I have a potential buyer from Sweden so it might go fast..
Perhaps $34k was more on point for this ride
