Thornton Oldsmobiles at Barrett-Jackson Auction

[HO455]

Troy and Jeff Thornton are selling these four beauties at the upcoming Barrett–Jackson auction. I saw the 1968 H/O at the Muscle Car Nationals in Chicago a year ago. It was probably the nicest 1968 H/O-I have yet seen. Although, I have to admit the 1971 W-30 4spd in black &amp; white is my favorite coming up at this auction. It just looks nasty cool in black! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

71 is sinister and very basic for an Olds!

----I found and just missed a red W30 convert from Port Huron Mi. I wonder if this is that car as it could be its twin. It was pulled out from underneath me and initially went to Conneticut......Bill S

So if you put these four through the 1/4 mile how would they rank? How about if you throw in a '69 H/0 as well, how does it fare?

[SmallHurst]

I know how mine does. Solid 13.40's. Anyone else?

I've done a 13.08 in my '72 W30 4 speed, original engine.

My
71 w30 is black with gold stripes..(maching numbers) <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif
Automatic I couldent find a 71 w304 speed with
Matching numbers when I was looking for a car ...
