What is the value of this Oldsmobile and what should you pay special attention to when purchasing?

[Barney Eaton]

Hemmings has it listed at $95,000 in #1 condition  they list #4 at $29,600

What do you need to look at when inspecting......  if you see anything that needs fixed, repaired or does 

not look correct then adjust the price for that.    If they are at the #1 price, it should be a #1 car and be perfect. 

Looking at the photos on the website and description some thing standout.... it has factory air which is not mentioned.

The underside looks as good as the outside.    The wording of the chrome indicated that some thing were not new chrome

The other issue is how long ago was it restored,  while everything might be restored or replaced,  if it has been stationary, seals can leak

and some thing might break when you try to use them.

They ask more than $95000

There will be an auction.
