Mecum; 70 SX W32 Conv
Well, It's going to Mecum Indiana next month!
I know many think my asking price was insane and no offense taken! And weather it gets close to that at Mecum or not is to be seen. There are a lot of fees involved so I know what I end up with may be a lot less than what I've been trying to get. My car has had a very high value to ME, but not more than life! And it has thrown some big curves at my wife and me.
Of course I hope to get as much as possible, but one thing, as a SX enthusiast I hope for, is that the selling price will drive up the value of all fellow SX owners cars! They deserve to bring a higher value!!
That being said; give me some guesses as what you think it will get up to?
I know they will be no more than opinions and I WILL Not be offended!

PS. I have it here in Cars for Sale

A beautiful car in a desirable color combination. I have no idea what kind of money it will bring, I'm much better (IMO) at pricing cars that need a lot of work
Good luck w the sale

First off, These cars ARE undervalued... That is the beauty for working folks like myself that can see that they are (especially with a W32 option), a 344 vin car without the associated tag.. Your color options with a W25 are in my opinion perfect. I have seen another trip-black '70 needing a complete resto at the '06 nationals, but lacked the factory issue W25. I had a straight/solid numbers 70' hardtop in reef turquoise/pearl for 17 years needing a total resto.. After all of those years, I realized that if I were to do a concourse restoration I'd have a car worth 2/3 of the financial commitment not considering my countless hours of personal labor. Granted, a drop top helps your cause exponentially, not to mention again colors and W25, and W32! I mean really, it is in effect a factory W25,442.....in triple black...but,.. Not quite.
. You need to get the attention of the right two individuals, with appreciation for the rarity of your car and more importantly the disposable financial means to make it happen. I will guess $29,7K,...but I sincerely hope that I'm proven wrong. I hope that you clear $75K after paying Mecum! It is a spectacular car!

If I was filthy rich and was into oldsmobiles and after looking at that car, I would prob go as high as 40k, maybe a bit more? I think you may find someone looking at auction to score a deal around 30? I also think about 75% of buyers look at it from an investment perspective also? maybe not to increase in value but at least hold its value, unless you find the other 25% guys who don't care about that and even less like oldsmobiles. Small niche for those cars though.
I think your best bet is the marketing to the Oldsmobile crowd in every way possible and detailing the current condition.
I truly hope you get what you need and more GLWS.

Great car, and as FUNK said I think they are way way undervalued. Looking at that car in today's market it SHOULD be a $65k - $80k car but the SX's are just under appreciated. Saying that, at an auction, you should get 50K plus if you ask me. Heck, it would cost more to buy a car half that good and make it that nice.
In the end, all these cars are overpriced if you ask me.

Well, it sold for $82,500!
Thanks to all those who supported the car and I really hope it sets a precedent for all the other SX owners out there! They deserve there spot!
