Olds W30

[StealthBird]

Paul, sorry, I thought it was RM that the Twilight car was sold at. My fault.

I'm familiar with the black car. There's actually more to that story that's occurred in the past few years.

So is there any suspicion about the red/white W-30 being legit? With the original window sticker, build sheet, original 1970 photos? I know these cars are nearly impossible to document, but it seems strange to me (or W-30 prices have tumbled dramatically in the past 6 months) that a fake W-30 (Twilight Blue) would sell for the same as a real W-30 (Red/White). Even if the Red/White one has the slightest shadow of doubt as to its pedigree, it appeared to be a higher quality restoration than the blue car, and the blue car was an obvious fraud.

I find it amazing that these Olds guys can pay $175K for a car, and there's still a shadow of doubt as to the cars authenticity! You know, for $175K, I think I'd buy a 69/70 RAIV Judge ragtop or Trans Am, with rock solid PHS documentation.

BTW, this Thorton restored W-30 hardtop just appeared on E-Bay. The W-30's sure are beautiful cars!
