What do you think it's worth?

 

I am thinking that his reserve is $30000 USD

 

This W-31 sounds great out the back of new alminized with Hemi Turbo mufflers.......

What the hell are those????

 

Walker Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers. Also known as Hemi Super Turbos.

 

I wonder if Chrysler gets any royalties from them, Sigh.......

 

Stewolds are you currently bidding on the car?


$18100 top bid the morning.

 

I am watching the auction. All those bids came yesterday and seem to be schill bids, but who knows. The current owner states all numbers matching, and 8yrs ago he had the hood and top of the fenders painted but didn't go into detail. Still researching and hope others on the board can chime in with more info if possible. Appreciate any and all help!

 

My buddies dad ordered his W-31 with the same interior, but with Black paint. Love that car..........

 

Is anyone familiar with the 1969 "Spring Green" special order paint F85 4-spd W31? It was at MCACN a few years ago. Supposedly the only one, and extremely rare. Trying to gauge the value on that one and any help/input would be greatly appreciated!

 

The car was on caronline for a long time but did sell.


It started high & was last listed at about $47000 USD.

You are aware that there are no factory docs on this "W-31"????


I do not know where the car is now but it was in Chicago when it was for sale. Gregg Godon probably knows where it is.

 

You need paper workTo many different people out there
ie not honest
Alain

 

I haven't asked him about that yet, but will. He wants to "Trade-Up" on my car and I am considering it. This is my favorite color on the planet, and with the post coupe 4-spd W-31, whoa. Car is in Indiana with a big collector......

If it's true, and there are no docs, what's a "Real World" value on the car?

Thank you!

 

With no documents it's just a nice looking, fast Cutlass.


Pay accordingly....ie...no where near $47000. Just my opinion but I would not go north of $30K.

 

Ok, talked to the seller this afternoon. He has owned the car for 18 years and is the third owner. Previous owner had the car painted with a different hood and installed 455 and automatic to make more of a "show car". Car came with the numbers matching motor, trans, etc. he had the motor and trans re-built 8 yrs ago and the top of the fenders and original hood painted back on the car. All matching numbers drivetrain, and original interior with only the drivers seat showing wear. Three build cards, with one still attached to the rear seat. Special order car of course with the color options. His reserve is set between 25K and 35k, I think you can do the math.

He said that Greg (can't remember the last name) from up in that area has verified and looked the car over........

Opinions please..........

 

Is W-31 on the build cards?


Is the JO code trans in the car?


What rear gear? 3.42 3.91 or 4.33?


Likely you are referring to Gregg Godon. Why not talk to him about the car?

 

 

rcktdoc is Gregg Godon.


Send Gegg a PM & ask about the green car.

 

Great guy, thanks Dave!

Auction on this one ended at $19200 USD. Reserve not met. It will be interesting to see if the car gets relisted.


I predict a $29500 reserve if it gets relisted.


Thoughts?

 

I know Tony the guy who has the gold w31 and have seen the car. it did have a 455 in it at one time but when he bought it he also got the original motor and hood. I have seen all of it. It is a nice car and is what Tony say it is. he owns a Ford truck wrecking yard in Portland but is a huge Olds guy. I have dealt with him for years and always had good luck. I highly recommend this car and Tony. Not sure what he wants for it but I suggest calling him.

Tell him Larry referred you

 

Hello,

Do you know if there has been any sheet metal replaced or patched. I have been talking with Tony and am in the process of finding someone to do an inspection for me. Thank you.

 

Don't know. Tony will tell you what he knows. I have bought many cars from him. Never lied to me.

 

I have no problem with him, he is a nice guy. However, I still need to have everything verified and inspected before I can move forward. Thanks for the post.

 

Surely we have a board member in Portland who would help a brother out.


If not can you jump on a plane & go see it yourself?

 

I'd check it out for you but it is a 300 mile round trip for me. I wonder if Greg Rollin of Supercarsunlimited.com would check it out for you. He is in the Portland area and he really knows these cars.

Just a thought.

Larry

 

Phone call and email sent to him yesterday.......

 

Wow, called five shipping companies. Four flat out said no, and the fifth was at $1,675 open! Been a while since I shipped a car, but that is high

 

try Monarchcarshipping.com. had good luck with them.

 

Shipping has got out of control. times have changed, Years ago they needed your business so they were competative/affordable. But with all the collector car auctions through out the year, shipping cars has become a frenzy and they don't need your job . You need them they don't need you.

 

You could try Uship.com. I peeked at some active listings for enclosed transportation with bids with similar distances, and you might be able to get folks to bid it down a bit. One example.

 

Yes, used them a few years back. With the crazy weather, high elevations and overall mileage, there aren't many that want to make that trip......

 

The price of the hobby goes up every year.But that is how the
game goes.How bad do you want this car?
Alain

 

Not that bad, I have my "All In" number........

 

That gold car is a beauty and I would buy if in the market for a ready to go documented car! You could always make a roadtrip even if you have to delay it abit until the winter weather calms down a bit. I'd make a trip in my truck and just rent a uhaul trailer to bring it home. U-ship is a probably your best chance for a deal but even then some are trying to charge crazy fees. I flew to CA and drove my 71 back towing my 66 all the way to VA and I spent less than half of what I was getting quoted to ship two cars.

 

The gold car in Portland is on eBay again. Current bid $15100. USD

I have it from a reliable source that he wants $30K.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/332138723988...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

Yep, that's what he wants. Love everything about the car but the colors and distance. Might have to be patient.........

 

So paint the car a color that works with the green interior or do an interior swap to white or black.

 

I'm new to the site and saw this thread on a internet query. I'm in Hawaii and a new owner of the Gold 70 f85 w31 that was listed. It needs lots of work but everything is original. I'm pretty excited. My first car was a 69 cutlass and I bought a wrecked 72 W30 back in 80. Everything went into that High School car from the 72. Haven't had an Olds since then. Feels good to look at one again that I own.

 

Welcome. Go to the newbie section and start a new thread to introduce yourself and your car.

 

thx Dave!
