$5000 tops, nobody wants these. Not even me. The only ones worth anything are the Quad 442 W-41 or W-40. But if a black 1990 or 1991 International Series with the HO Quad 4 ever surfaced, I'd get in line for that, even a 4 door of these. In 1991 Olds made less than 700 2 doors and 379 4 doors, so good luck to me on one ever getting one. In all the years I've been an Olds National club member, I've seen just 1 of these in a 4 door in JWO. Only 1!

you guy are not reading the ad!
Original owner! Exhilirating! This is THE CAR that won the Indy 500 race, driven by Maverick himself. After a spin-out! In "lap 420" [nudge, wink to Colorado residents]. The ONLY car to ever do this feat. Plus it is all the more important and believable because EVERY BIT OF THE TEXT IS IN ALL CAPS. "GOD BLESS YOU BOB" must have helped write it. $65.50000k is a mere pittance. [no existing warranty, by the way] (Remember, a nightmare is one form of a dream) It is "fitted" with fuel injection- do you realize how rare that was in 1985....? It had to be "fitted". It has "signage" inside.... AND OUT. Does your car have "signage"? Mine sure doesn't. You got "signature paint"? Me neither. Incredibly, the mileage is known to the HUNDREDTH of a mile: "114360.00" - Not just "oh about 115k" or "114,360" but 114,360-point zero zero, and not even one 1/100 mile more! Amazing that they caught it right at all three zeros at the end there. That is accuracy to plus or minus 52.8 feet!! Most odometers cannot even do that.
"A REAL DREAM TO DRIVE. THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE PACE CAR WAS DRIVEN BY JAMES GARNER. THE RACING VERSION OF THE CAR WON THE RACE AFTER RECOVERING FROM A SPIN-OUT IN LAP 420, THE ONLY TIME IN INDY 500 HISTORY THE PACE CAR ENTRY WON THE RACE.
OFFERED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR. THERE'S NO OTHER CAR ON THE ROAD TODAY LIKE IT."

It made me read it again.
Octania:
Check out this video:
I doubt if the car on ebay has even been on or near the track.
Number one: The actual pace car was a convertible.
Number two: I don't know why the seller thinks the pace car was in the race and why it would have won. Danny Sullivan spun out because Mario crowed him a little. The pace car did not wipe out. That was 1971.
James Garner probably has not been near this car either.
Would be nice if any of it were true, but it is not.
