I got access to a garage today. The owner had passed. Here's what I found and need to make an offer on the lot. See pics. Sorry for the lack of continuity in the pics. It was quite cramped and I did not know where to look first!

1977 Olds Indy Pace Car, 403 engine auto 60k 1 repaint, moonroof, very nice shape
1971 Olds 442 NOM 455, Auto, looks like it hit a pole
1979 Hurst Olds 61k auto ; very nice shape
1982 El Camino - V6 auto 63k; very nice shape

At what price can I not get hurt? She already has an offer but won't share.

Hard to say but I would say the 71 442 is the money car if legit. All depends on body condition and mechanicals and options. You could search ebay completed auctions for similar sold cars.

 

x2

 

the 71 is NOM and as you can see by the pics needs about 7500+ of work. NOT a real W30. I would probably sell that one off.

 

I would be interested in the pace car . Dont know what they are worth nor without seeing good photos of the car .

 

whats the deal on the budwieser car in the background?

 

Hard to say without closer inspection. Does the 71 have H heads? The paperwork, hood and drivetrain really make that car desirable, too bad there crap. I would start at $5,000 for everything.

 

Looks like some very efficient parking placement in that garage...

 

71 442 - 3500.00
79 Hurst - 4000.00
77 Pacecar - 6000.00
El Camino -2500.00

I'd say 15k for the lot.

 

"El Camino -2500.00"

I'll take it at that price, sure.

 

First place to look is the cowl tag on the 71. SKRYLA says NOT a real W-30. Do your homework. Is it at least a 442? Repo Thornton hood is 3000.00 and bumper/grills add to the bill. Low ball after your research to be safe.

 

The 71 is a 72 based on cosmetics, unless the VIN says otherwise. Check the engine code - if it's X or U it was born with a 455, anything else is a 350

 

Yeah, that '71 looks more like a '72. It looks like the voltage regulator is on the fender like a '71, but the headlight and taillight bezels say '72...
I'm also VERY intrigued about that Dale Jr. Monte Carlo...

 

Skryla are looking to keep any or all or Flip them ?

 

Interesting - there is no external voltage regulator at all (it would be mounted on the firewall) and the alternator is an internally regulated unit. If it is a 442 clone, someone went to the effort of adding the fender braces. My guess is it is a real 71 442 that at some point was wrecked before and had a 72 front clip kind of repair done.

 

Just saw that link to the pics and agree with you Joe. No doubt it's a 71 in my mind now, and all 71 442s came with 455s. Only thing that suggests partial cloning (it is a 442) is no way it could be a W30 since the VIN clearly shows it's an Arlington built car, and ALL W30s were built at Lansing. Wish I'd seen that link to the pics earlier.

 

Its killing me knowing there is a 77 delta pace car out there and is sorta on the market but cant really look into it SKRYLA !

 

I picked up a 77 pace car from Madison Wi. 44,000 miles, not bad shape, start, drives and is a looker, have all paper work, need a little TLC on the seats and dash

 

Other than the headlight doors, why do you say the car has a 72 nose? Grilles are 71. I can't see the core support detail in the photos to tell what year it is.

 

Id keep the 77 pacecar and parade it around to the cruise ins.

 

Love it when someone brings a thread out that is more than a year old and does not realize it.

 

well look who picked up on the year old thread....D.A!, some of us like to find info no matter how old it may be and contacts that are good

 

Did you ever pick up the '77 Indy Pace car?
