Nice.
But notice how "out of touch" they are with their value guide (as virtually all publications are with Oldsmobiles). They mention prices for a '66 442 "sedan" and "hardtop", not even being aware that in '66 there were 2 different 442 "sedans" and 2 different 442 "hardtops".

I always view these old car price guides with skepticism. There just aren't enough of these cars sold at auction to build a statistically valid database. I'm guessing they have one or two data points and apply ratios for the different body styles and conditions based on, say, Chevy sales. That may or may not be valid. I also have to question these price guides when, for example, they list an increase in value for a four speed trans in a 1969 H/O. Yes, I saw that in one such guide.
