So,what is it worth? I've seen junk bring more than the highest bid.

i think the 2550.00 is about right, in my opionon. It did look nice. Out of my price range though, I have other items the 2550 could go for my car.

just buying new carbs will run $2000 at least for the right ones, i think around 4 grand seems to be the norm for a remanufactured/restored tri carb, i agree thats a hell of a pile of money though. sure look good under the hood though  |

how much of a pontiac tri power would cross over? i just saw one on CL for 800.00 . the add is now gone, it was complete but not restored. I guess i am just a tight ass, I am putting money away for paint. So I guess cool intakes will have to wait  . |

End carb's, center carb on the Pontiac has a built in choke if I remember correctly, Olds do not. That's about it. |

I guess i am just a tight ass, I am putting money away for paint. So I guess cool intakes will have to wait . It depends on what year Pontiac it is. The 66 Pontiac has the larger center carb like the Olds,previous years had the smaller center carb. The end carbs are the same and the only difference between a 66 Olds & a 66 Pontiac center carb is,the Pontiac doesn't have the vacuum port/fitting in the bowl for the vacuum advance. Pontiac gets the vacuum advance source from a hollow stud on one of the carbs. If you think that $4450 is out of line for a complete tripower setup,where else can you increase the value of your car by 50% by adding a tripower? I'm not bashing anybody because of $$$$$,it is what it is and just try buying a unit that needs restored,find all of the missing correct pieces and restore it and then get back with me on costs. |

Would that not look cool on my 64 with the 425?  But if I had a 66 L-69 car and needed it to complete the restoration 5k is not out of the question if it is as described. |

Back up again, $3000 as of today: www.ebay.com/itm/320888195868?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649The party in the Cleveland Craigslist ad above has attempted to make a trade for heads for so long it is beyond memory, has to be at least 15 years. I can't see how adding a 3X2 ads a flat 50% to the 2012 sale value of a otherwise straight car, unless of course you meant to imply a set up INCLUDING a numbered OAI shroud and a #2 or better car. The cat is sort of out of the bag now on L-69/W-30, even non-Olds guys now know what to look for in establishing sale value relative to correct appearance. |

No,I did not mean that adding 50% to the value of a 66 included the OAI system,that adds 100%. The 66 3 X 2 car @ Scottsdale B-J brought $110 K,it wouldn't have brought half that with a 4 V. |

It's odd on every board including this board readers throw rocks at B-J concluding what happens there isn't the real world, a idea with which I totally agree, but rocks witheld. If we are discussing the black 3X2 car with the battery under the hood, which let me add gave every appearance on TV and online pics of being a #1 car, then I suggest that sale sets no precedent. And even if by chance you don't mean that specific car, it only shows the continuance of buyers for cars with more money then brains as that car sold for about that amount, and was clearly a mutt. On the other side, 'four barrel' cars of any make and maker seem to bring more at those sales then anywhere else. My red over black four barrel four speed 3:91 job might bring $25k on it's best day, adding the 3X2 presently sitting on my hearth won't make it $37k, even if i wished it so. And the OAI bonus matters only if I do the rest of the mods and start lying, which I won't do, then comes the willing buyer with money to spendand perhaps a willingness to buy and then lie to the next buyer. My bottom line is the big value comes only with lies and deceit, unless of course the seller has perfect paperwork and known owner history to back up the claims, which I now state I don't. Using my math a #5 rustpile that can prove a 3X2 car with paperwork or known history might have a 1000% increase in beginning sale price, not the flat 100 you suggest with 'no questions asked' of the seller. Anyone aware of Oldsmobile collecting knows the OAI shroud is worth more off a car then on it, unless again, it is a original OAI car, not by spoken word of seller or other 'experts', but by self-evident paperwork or history.
I'm pissed off by this scenario as locally a seller obtained a known original but tired 442 original 400 two speed car and performed a half-assed 3X2 install, and has been trying (perhaps has by now) to sell it as a L-69 car, and after beating up all the Oldsmobile forums for info on details. Parts and cars and 'created' paperwork don't lie, people lie. I'm just glad in hindsight I don't and won't have anything approaching $4500 in my 3X2 setup, which I bought on the open market last year after waiting since my teens. Best ~ CW

I guess we have to agree to disagree. No,it wasn't a black car that brought $110,it was an Autumn Bronze hardtop. Since when does anybody have to lie to sell a car? I don't know what world you live in but I deal with honest people all the time on these cars. The thing about a 66 is,GM offered the tripower and the OAI setup in a kit over the counter that could be added to any 66 or any other car. There's NO way a 66 W-30 can be cloned and it not be found out. There's things that were done to the factory built W-30 cars that are known only to a few. So trying to pass off a track pack 66 for a real W-30 would be very hard and it has been tried before and they got caught. You said somebody added a tripower to a two speed car,that would have to be an automatic car and tripower was not available on automatics. The tripower was available on 3 & 4 speed cars only.
