Woodies that still have the wood intact are rare have seen them go for big bucks. Because of a restored value of up to 6 figures would expect this project to sell for 15 to 20k but with the bay all things are possible.

I can see so much potential here... But I want to know how it was stored to have deteriorated as badly as it has.

Most of these for sale have no wood left at all haha and have to be made from scratch. To be complete as it is a wonder.

So I guess we are talkin 20G's or more for the car and another 50 to restore it? Hope someone can do it, it has sat long enough and hopefully not too long.

Too cool 87,000 miles being licensed for 5 years, the owner must have been a traveling salesman.

I've seen only one of these "unicorns", at one of our zone shows years back, and only stayed for an hour or so and had disappeared before I could get a couple of pics. Absolutely stunning in its full glory, and will hold it's own in a lineup with any other Olds. Hopefully it will go into the hands of an intelligent, able bodied, well funded Oldsmobile preservationist that will share it with folks like us one day. Thanks for sharing..........VERY COOL!!!!!!!!
