I read the article today. Jeff did a great job. The highlight was my daughter driving the car for the photo shoot. It is hard to sell but as a caretaker for 35 years I have completed my time with the car and goals. So many special cars never made it through the gas crisis in the early 80's. If someone other than me found the car it is likely it would not have survived to be one of the better examples of the Oldsmobile muscle car era of the 70's. They also would not have found the original owner. I Kept the car safe for 35 years, restored it the best I could afford, showed the car and ended with a feature article in the best muscle car magazine. The auction in a few weeks will be a fun end or not. It is a reserve auction so I don't need to sell it under reserve unless I want to and if it goes over reserve it will move to a new caretaker and continue to be appreciated. Still a nice story.......Lee

I also read this article yesterday, it was good. Where is the 442 that the first owner rejected because it was a coupe. Wow.....

I have a picture of it at the dealership but never found that car. It would be easy to identify. California smog and w-27. Lee

Lee, you mean the Ferrari and the Veyron are in a nice spot! You are standing in some tall cotton there my friend and I wish you all the best. Please post the outcome and results of the sale here.
Again, I hope you set both a new record and a new standard for which these special Oldsmobiles should be priced. Go Get 'em, Lee!!!
