Default Re: Olds W30

Color is printed at the bottom of the shipping order (Viking Blue/White). Be careful of resto costs, and think it through in this economy. Resto costs today can top $100K for a top notch resto, done properly, and the prices on fully restored cars keep coming down.

A perfect (ex-Thornton) 70 W-30 ragtop 4-speed just went through BJ at around $170K, and it was considered one of the best in the country, it was resale red with white stripes, and the 70 W-30 4-speed ragtop is the Holy Grail of Oldsmobiles. I would have expected $250K for this car back in 2007.

A clone 71 4-speed W-30 ragtop (Black/White stripes, and very nice) also went through Barrett-Jackson (Florida). The owner had turned down $150K in 2006, then it was listed on E-Bay a few months ago, stalled at $105K, and it just sold at BJ for $84K, so the prices have tumbled.

Paul, just curious, what doesn't appear correct on the shipping order?
