1972 Indy 500 Pace Car - Hurst Olds Convertible -Original Num. Match/Documented

Seller Note: This is a relist where it almost made reserve.   I will be a bit slow with questions this week for business reasons. but will respond as promptly as possible.   Please bear with us.

Seller Note: The silly lowball offers and crazy swaps can get out of hand.    1.   The opening price IS the minimum price.   We all know it is worth more than that; I just don't want to pay Mecum or Barrett/Jackson crazy seller & buyer fees.
2.   The ONLY thing we will consider is what I'm going to build with the sales proceeds. a 1969 Trans/Am convertible with a 2012 CTS-V drivetrain/interior/suspension.

Multiple Show Winner

This car wins about every show it enters. including the Texas Gulf Coast Oldsmobile show.

The original yellow flags and mounts were long gone. so we had correct replicas custom fabricated for easy mounting to the rear frame.   They are removable with basic hitch pins.

Color copies of the original documentation papers are framed for presentation at car shows (the originals are in a secure place)

The car is in fantastic condition and runs beautifully.   The R12 A/C has a new A6 compressor (the original compressor will be in the trunk).

Sale includes Top Boot. Doc Frame. Trophies and Plexi Show Board
If you are in Texas. the 1972 Texas License Plates will also go with the car. It was titled with those plates. Clear Texas Title with no liens.

Won Gulf Coast Olds Show in 2012. Guitars & Cars Top 40 in Houston award 2013. plus many others.

This is an awesome and rare part of racing history. is more fun to drive than a mutual fund. and can't be worth zero like a stock.   Drive it home.

Serious investors should email with questions.

Shipping: I think I have found the only honest shipping broker in the US. so I'd be happy to help with shipping.   All of the documents and accessories will be secured in the trunk. and we will overnight the trunk keys. title. and other critical items directly to Buyer.   It will have at least 1/4 tank of gas (so it does not run out on the way home). and probably more.   A slimeball in NY sent a LT1 Vette to us. and it ran empty as it came off of the truck. not nice.
