Oldsmobiles @auburn

I have been to this many times in the past 15-20 years. The issue is that there has been a tremendous drop off in cars. It used to have 2000 cars to auction and 300 in the car corral. That number has been halved since I first started.

But any ways a few pics that I snapped not vary many oldsmobiles may be 15 tops.




Starfire sold for $99,000







This car is advertised as a nut and bolt restoration to AACA standards 442 W-30. I questioned the location of the W-30 emblem and appeared to be correct under the hood except the fuel filter setup. And looked at the cowl and VIN 1971 both had 34267. Hard sell job with the W-35 on the vert.

No mention of clone, tribute or re-incarnation.

Car had a donor car to rebuild it. Not even a real W30 or matching block. Cars going thru this auction have definately declined in quality over the past few years.
