That looks like a solid, real deal Olds with good docs

Looks legit and above-board. Like to see what's under that funky trunk carpeting, though.

Tow bar brackets. Rusty heads with cherry exhaust manifolds. New exhaust pipes from manifolds to head pipes. Plenty of stone riddle. It certainly had track time. I would want to inspect it in person. It looks like it's pedigree is legit.

Looks pretty legit for sure. It will be interesting to see what it sells for with such low miles.

Where the stripes really that bad from the factory? Curious, since I wasn't alive when this car was new...

I asked that question on BAT, owner states original paint so I asked if stripes were at some point redone just because they do look half hearted in application ..lets see how its answered.

I agree, car definitely has seen some track time, probably had headers at one time..definitely want to look at it in person, under carriage is awfully scruffy for 5800 miles..hard to say if 3000 of those miles were a quarter mile at a time..has to be the lowest mile w30 ever advertised if true

Not only has anybody jumped all over the not original tach and gauges but nobody has trashed it for not being real because the valve covers are on the wrong sides! We must be slipping in our old age!

Seller states valve cover gaskets were replaced along with intake etc, so obviously put back on incorrectly

Very cool to see another steel wheel car with full hub cap trim hence the black XTs and not body color.

I watched the end of the auction. The auction ended at 3:00 PM but went into 20 minutes of overtime until it ended at $116,500. What a battle down to the end!
