One going to auction in Vancouver this weekend. Usual description BS. All original. One of 17 "KNOWN TO EXSIST". He describes how he raced it alot and blew up several motors and tranny's, Blah, blah,blah.
So how is it ALL ORIGINAL with a replacement motor. I am sure it's a nice car. Anyone wanting to bid?

Post the link to the auction. This sounds like Paul Martin's car. Paul is an above average Olds collector & if this is his car then the car is legit.

Google auction in Vancouver and it's the first one on the list. Unfortunately, there's only a PDF listing of the cars for sale, no other info or photos. The W-30 is scheduled at 4:23 on Sat, and a 72 H/O convert is right behind it.

Paul's car

That is Paul's car. He has been trying to sell it for over a year. Asking price is $110K. I predict that it will not meet reserve at this auction.

The HO rag top is another car from Paul's collection. I predict this one will sell.

Interesting read. Think the wife would mind if I traded a house for it?

I've been to your house & she is going to miss her garden. Find another way!

I like mine better red on red, no chrome options, no radio or heater. Only original shoulder belts I have seen in a 66. Mine does have a luxury item--tinted glass! No one has wanted it at 40K less so I agree that the car at the auction probably won't sell.

Yes very cool car. ONE OF 17 known, wow!
What I really need to do is find the "missing" ones in a barn somewhere.
$110K is definetly out of my budget. I think I might go to the auction and see it in person.

You're right about that. She's already not that keen on me.
