1 OF 38: 1968 OLDSMOBILE W31 DRAG RACER SURVIVOR FOUND IN A GARAGE, SELLING FOR $500,000, HAS ONLY 20K MILES!

Here on Automobile Find, we don’t feature a lot of six, seven-figure cars. When we do, they are very rare muscle cars like this one. This beast is a factory-made Drag Racer. It is a 1 of 38 made Oldsmobile W31. It is believed that it’s the only one existing. It was found in a garage and it is selling for $500,000.

The story about this car is very interesting. These cars were built for dealers to promote Oldsmobile by drag racing. They were specially made from the factory to race. There were only 38 built. Oldsmobile ordered the dealers to destroy these cars after they are done racing them, however, somebody kept his and it is believed that it is the only one known to exist today. The car has a 350 V8 ram rod engine under the hood, which was made for drag racing. This car went through a light restoration. It has only 20,000 miles and the paint and interior are original.

I am surprised to see a car like this one shown in public. It is a very interesting car with an interesting story. The question is who will give $500,000 for a 1968 Oldsmobile?
I am sure that someday someone will want this rare piece of history in his collection but I don’t know if he will buy it for half a million dollars.
